How to Replace a Maytag Electric Dryer Drive Motor

[@benjaminmacdonald2193]

Great video! Thank you for posting this. I ended up having to completely destroy the blower wheel to remove it - luckily I was planning on replacing that as well.

Thanks. Very clear and the only video I've found that matches my dryer.

Same, I've been searching for 15 hours.

Yep, very frustrating

I hope whoever designed the rear mounting clamp has a very bad day. 😉

struggling with that now

Anyone have a wiring diagram of this model?

I hate that I’m having a hard time removing the motor from the blower wheel

[@jamesbon1]

I just did mine. They all fail to mention that the motor rests on a tray that can be easily removed by 2 screws. This allows you to remove the whole motor on the tray. They also fail to mention instructions from the old wiring from the original to the new motor.

​@jamesbon1 True, the motor sits on a bracket with 1 hexagon bolt or on a tray as you call it with 2 screws. But, you still have to remove the blower wheel that's secured to the back of the motor and on mine, there's very limited space to "attempt" to remove that damn blower wheel.

I never should have started this project of replacing the dryer motor. So fuckin aggravating to do this job!

Definetly wear gloves! Couldnt get the blower wheel off The fail to mention that once yoy undo the clamps.The motor moves around like a son of a bitch. And the wheel is welded on.
