I have a GE model DVL223eb6ww and its making a bad noise. I opened it up and found the blower was slipping and moves back and forward enough to where the actual blower fan is cracked. I couldn't figure out how to remove it - therre is no scew and its sold as part of the blowewr housing. I tired gluing with JB weld but it still makes a horrible high pitch metel on metal noise. It seems like there is a front to back play in the motor.
Any idea how to remove the blower fan and fix this?

Any idea how to remove the blower fan and fix this? The blower wheel and blower housing are all one piece, Part number: AP2619879
Here are some basic repair information : 1. Remove the front panel and the drum.
2. Disconnect the wiring from the back side of the blower housing.
3. Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws that hold the blower guard in place. Remove the blower guard.
Note: The blower guard is notched. When reinstalling the blower guard, ensure the notch is located at the bottom of the blower wheel.
Note: In the following step, to prevent the blower
wheel from turning while removing the center nut,
apply a 7/8-in. wrench to the nut on the end of the drive motor.
4. Remove the 13-mm center nut. (Turn clockwise to remove.) Remove the blower wheel.
5. Remove the 3 Phillips-head screws from the center of the blower housing.
5. Remove the 3 Phillips-head screws from the center of the blower housing.
6. Remove the Phillips-head screw from the back of the dryer that holds the exhaust duct in place.
Note: The motor shaft has a snap ring, which prevents the blower wheel from rubbing the back of the blower housing.
7. Remove the blower housing.
Hope this get's you through the repair,
:) :) :)
