The blower needs to be released fromt he shaft. The snap ring in front of the blower needs to be taken off. This can be done with a screw driver by prying off the flat spot on the shaft. However, a snap ring pliers would be better. The front of the blower housing must come off as the blower must come off. There is a snap ring behind the blower that must come off also.
The biggest problem I had was removing the front motor bearing housing from the plastic blower housing. It is easy once you see that the front bearing housing is held in by four tabs in the plastic housing. By rotating the front bearing housing 90 degrees you will be able to pull it out.
From there just reverse your action. The belt went on ok. I found by putinng the belt on the drum and the motor drive pully first I was able to reach in an put the belt over the tighener.

First off I want to say I ordered my motor on Sunday night at 11:30 PM on veterans day and got the two day delivery. My part was sent out on that Monday (fed. holiday) and I received it Tuesday around 1:00 pm after I disconnected the wiring harness, took the blower fan C-clips off, unscrewed about 6 screws, and pulled the assembly apart I

I discovered that my thermostat fuse was blown so I ordered the High temp thermostat kit from here (two day delivery) on Wednesday at 10:30 PM and got the parts Friday at around 2:00 PM. After taking out four screws and four wires I replaced the fuse and high temp. set, pushed the start button to see if it worked and it started up like new. Now it heats twice as fast and everything doesn't have a light burnt smell. So dry time is faster (no more 80-90 min. cycle times), less dryer sheets (to cover smell) and all this added up to cost savings on electric bill and dryer sheets. It took a week to get my dryer back (because I just looked at the motor) but in the end I needed the fuse and motor. The quick turn around time to get the parts, the pictures to see if I had the right parts, and the ease of ordering the parts meant only one run to the laundry mat, and that wouldn't have happen if the dryer hadn't messed up on laundry day.

When I push the start button I get a hum but the dryer does not start. If I continue to push the start the hum eventually will just stop. Is this more than likely the motor? The dryer is 15 years old.
For model number pyg2300aww
Hi Dan,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like it might be the Timer Assembly,PartSelect Number PS11742813. If the timer is not working it will not start the dryer into the dry cycle. If the motor is making a hum then it should like it wants to start but it is waiting for the signal from the timer.To be sure you can do some electrical testing with a volt meter to check for continuity. It is also good to check the Door Switch.This dryer door switch is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the dryer from operating when the door is open.When defective it thinks the door is open.
Hope this helps!

We push the button to start and it has a hard start but then it will run. If we do a continuous use during a laundry day the dryer will stop working until we let it sit for about 1-1.5 hours. What could be the issue?

Hello John, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: High Limit Kit, Control Thermostat, High Limit Thermostat, Heating Element, Drive Motor, and Door switch, and Door catch kit. You can test the parts with a multimeter. Hope this helps!

My dryer has a high pitched humming noise that comes and goes, so far I've replaced the belt,rollers,glides and idler pulls wheel.... do you think at this point i have to replace motor?
For model number PY62300AWW
Hi Magdalena,
Thank you for your question. It could be your motor that is the issue however I would also suggest you take a look at your glides. In a lot of cases when you get that high pitched noise, it is because the glides have worn down. If they are fine though, it may indeed be your motor that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
Do you stock the rubber bearing for the rear of the motor? It fits between the bracket, parts 7 and 8 in the diagram. Thanks
For model number YG225LV
Hi Bruce, thank you for your question. That piece is part of the motor. So to replace it you would have to replace your motor. Good luck with your repair.
