The motor is burned out and I'm trying to replace. I have the bottom front panel off, there is a fan and fan housing in front of the motor. How do I get to the motor?:confused:

Ok, here are the basic instructions.

1. Remove the Blower Wheel by taking out the lint screen, removing the lint duct, and removing the blower wheel which is reverse threaded. You insert a wrench or some other tool to keep the wheel from turning when you unscrew it (remember, clockwise. Look for directional arrows on the wheel to be sure.)

2. Remove the blower housing and be sure and disconnect the wires from the electrical connections. Label them before you disconnect so you can get them on correctly.

You now have access to the motor. You will need to remove the belt from the motor and idler pulley, then the motor unscrews from the base. Slide it right and forward to get it out. Change over what you need to, put it back in, put the belt and wire harness back on, reverese steps 2 and 1 and you should be back in business.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
