Replace blower DIY
The correct part arrived quickly!
I love to have the videos from the website that perfectly show how to quickly repair and replace parts. The hardest part as always is the diagnosis. Once that is done correctly the rest is a breeze.

Blower housing which blower wheel
It fit perfectly in place. My old blower wheel nut was cracked and getting ready to come apart so I replaced it with this one. Too bad you can’t just replace the wheel. The cover that contains the wheel with the plasic encased nut cannot be removed from the housing because the manufacturer melted the front cover onto the housing body. I think the price for this part would be cut in half if they could just make it so the wheel could be replaced.

Package wrapping 101
The blower housing was undamaged and works fine, however, there was no packing material surrounding the part in the shipping box. The box was larger than the blower housing, which meant the part was just bouncing around inside during the week it took to get here. In addition, as I picked up the box (before opening) I heard something small inside rattling. It turned out the rattle was from a small broken piece that was not part of the blower or the housing, but it was not a good feeling upon receiving a part that I really needed. This lack of attention to detail is a bad habit to get into. If details are ignored on the small things, they will be ignored on the big things.

loud persistent rubbing noise
Blower wheel came apart from molded-in nut, was loose, was rubbing on housing wall, and was likelynot moving to much air. I read some troubled stories about separating the wheel nut from the motor shaft so bought a new motor and blower housing and install wall pretty easy. There are videos on the teardown process and does that long and no
... Read moret alot of parts to keep track of either. I have already done the felt drum liner and rear drum ball and belt so if it's older than 15 years and your going to take the dryer apart, replace all these parts and you will about have new dryer at half the cost of new.

1. Plastic door handle was dry rotted. 2. Plastic blower 7/8 inch nut was cracked. 3. The bearings on the dryer motor where seized.
1. The old door handle was just easily pried out and the new one snapped right in place. Job took about one to 2 minutes. 2 and 3. Watched the video on how to take the blower wheel assembly and motor out and then back in. Just copied what the video showed. Really easy. It helps to have an assistant when taking out and installin
... Read moreg the dryer drum but not mandatory.
dryer after 1-3 minutes would start to buzz and vibrate - not loud nor shaking/vibrating alot but it was there
The repair actually was quite easy but diagnosing the problem was another story. I found out that the dryer would not buzz and vibrate , if I just ran the fluff cycle but no heat. As soon as heat applied, the slight buzzing and slight vibrating would occur after a few minutes. I knew it wasn't the drum bearing, the drum rollers, the ru
... Read morebbing collar on front of drum, idle arm, belt, etc - I had replaced all of them less than a year ago. Anything I found on the internet dealing with the motor was always geared around not running or slow starting or shutting down, loud buzzing, needing a push start to start, etc but that was not the case. So I figured it was the blower housing and ordered that part. However, once I had the machine apart the blower housing seemed to be just fine - nothing obvious, everything tight. The one issue I had was removing the plastic nut with the metal insert on the blower unit that attaches it to the motor shaft which just wouldn't bulge. So I said to myself, the h*ll with it, lets get a new motor, too and remove both parts together which btw, was very easy. So that is exactly what I did. Now with new motor in hand and new blower housing in hand, I easily removed the old motor still attached to the old blower housing together and replaced both which was very easy. Hooked everything back up and no more soft buzzing or slight vibration. Now back to the problem or my guess at this point. I noticed that the rubber mounting bushing in the back of the motor which is used to attached it to the dryer bracket was funking looking - kinda soft and a bit perished. So I am surmising that once heat was introduced, it was enough to soften that bushing enough to cause the slight buzzing and slight vibration but without the heat to soften the bushing a bit, it was quiet and steady. Just a guess but for anyone that has this issue with just heat but no issue with fluff (no heat) check out the condition of that rubber mounting bushing on the rear of the motor. No where on the internet was there any info concerning the symptoms I had and I was flying by the seat of my pants. So am taking the time to get this on record in case someone else has these symptoms and finds it.

Vibration and Low Pitched Grinding Noise Developed as Dryer Heated Up.
**I'd already installed a new rear drum bearing assembly (very simple) and the issue continued.

Had 2-seperate problems; 1st was a high pitch squeel, 2nd was the cover overheating
The high pitch squeel was the result of a failing drum bearing. It was particularly evident when first turning on the dryer, but became softer as the dryer heated up. In order to replace the drum bearing, I removed the top panel and front door panel.
The top panel was easily taken off by removing 2-screws from the back edge o
... Read moref the panel, and sliding it back to release it from the front panel seam.
The front panel is more involved, but still relatively easy for your average "do-it-yourselfer". I removed the front door panel by first removing the control panel (4-screws; 2 on top and 2 from the back of the panel). I removed 2 cable assemblies from the control panel via connecters (different sizes so didn't need to mark) and 2-wires attached to the large control panel mode selector (I marked these 2-wires). I set aside the control panel. I removed the front door panel by taking off 6-screws (2 on top, 2 on the bottom, and the remaining 2 on the inside of the panel on either side of the drum). After removing these 6-screws, I carefully pulled the front door panel away from the front of the dryer, carefully releasing 4-alignment latches (2 on either side). The front door panel was still electrically attached to the machine so I had to disconnect a couple more wires. I carefully disconnected 2-wires from the door light assembly and 3 more wires from the door switch (I marked the 3-wires on the door switch). I set aside the front door panel.
From the back of the dryer, I removed the small motor access panel on the bottom left corner. This panel also provides access to the drum belt. I released the drum belt from the motor drive wheel by releasing spring tension at the tensioner. The belt can easily be disconnected from the motor drive wheel and tensioner assemblies.
Removal of the drum was now possible. With the front door panel removed, the front of the drum is maintained in place via a small plastic stop on the top crossmember. I removed this stop prior to removing the drum. With one hand, carefully grabbing the belt that is was loosely draped across the back of the drum, and the other hand holding the front lip of the drum, I provided a quick and forceful upward motion to the back of the drum in order to dislodge the drum shaft from the bearing housing assembly. Once this was accomplished, I simple pulled the drum out of the dryer housing via the front of the machine.
The drum bearing repair kit ordered came with the replacement ball bearing, bearing housing, drum shaft, high-temperature grease, and attaching hardware.
I replaced the drum shaft on the drum via the 4-screws accessed on the drum rear panel.
I removed the old bearing/bearing housing via the 2-screws holding it in place. I wasn't too concerned about loosing the small ball bearing as the kit provided me a new one. I generously applied some high-temperature grease to coat the interior lining of the new bearing housing. I also placed a dab on the back seat where the new ball bearing sits. This helped hold the bearing in place while reattaching it. I reinstalled the bearing housing to finish replacing the repair parts.
Reassembly of the drum is in the reverse order. I paid particular attention to making sure the new drum shaft properly seated with the new drum bearing housing.
After reinstalling the drum and while the front door panel was still off the dryer, it was easy to inspect the blower housing. I found the squirrel cage had broken loose from the molded nut that attaches it to the motor shaft. That would explain the heat problem; the heat was not being exhausted through the duct.
THE SQUIRREL CAGE IS REVERSE THREADED. I was unable to remove the nut from the motor shaft as the design encompasses a metal bushing molded into a plastic nut shaped form. The plastic would not hold up to the force I was applying trying to loosen the squirrel cage. So I ended up removing the entire motor and blower housing assembly from the base
The blower wheel was a bit difficult, but manigable to do yourself.

I took dryer apart bc making noise. The blower wheel moves freely both clockwise or counter clockwise problem seems to be it also moves forward off the shaft then rubs on the front of the assembly. Does whole thing need replaced or is there something that holds it in place?
For model number FRE5714WKO
Hello, thank you for your inquiry! More than likely, you will need to replace the blower housing with blower wheel, as we are not showing there are any separate parts listed for sale that are meant to secure the blower wheel in place. It would come as part of this assembly. Hope this helps!

Very loud vibration. I have replaced the drum bearing assembly, belt, idler arm and new oem motor. I still have a loud vibration all the time and i cannot determine where its coming from. The blower assembly is the only part left. I cannot see anything wrong, nothing is loose.
For model number GLCR341CC0
Hello Mark, thank you for your question. I would suggest removing the blower housing to see if the wheel is moving freely and that there isn't anything stuck inside the blower housing. You may also want to check the Drum Glide - White part number 137513300 as well as the Lower Front Felt Seal with Adhesive part number 5303937183. I hope this helps!

Dryer blower wheel doesn't turn and motor doesn't turn either. So what is the problem, the blower wheel or the motor
For model number 41784052500
Hi Susan,
Thank you for your question. Based on what you described it sounds like there is an issue with the motor and you will need to check it with a multimeter to see if it is at fault. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I think I need to replaced the blower housing as the dryer is making noise while running. After I opened the dryer I looked at the blower housing I noticed that it's dusty, so I cleaned it completely like it almost look like brand new but still making noise when I put it back in. My question is why do I have to replace it with a brand new one? And what is the difference?
For model number 131775600
Hello Glenn, Thank you for the question. If it is the blower making noise then the center hold where it fits tot he shaft could be worn and causing the noise. Hope this helps!
