Chat agent was pivotal in the solution

Dryer motor function easy to repair. Be sure to order two of the Glide kits. One of my circlips (external retaining rings) was missing, but my HW store had them. They don't sell anything like my console Neptune cabinet dryer anymore, and it works great again. The Chat Agent guy fixed up my order to split off the Backordered item, so I would get the other stuff promptly. He also flogged the catalog to try for the quickest alternate. DIY is good, but I'm glad I asked for the Chat help. WHile the main dryer was down, I Was using an old dead dryer (no heat) outside the house, with a giant propane torch inserted into the flame zone. Worked ~ OK with diligent attention to temperatures, except when the power went off briefly, and the dryer stopped rotating, even after the power came back on. My wife found a pillow case scorched all the way through . Whoops! Giant torch approach not recommended except for dire emergency... The old Blower wheel hub was floppy, glad I got new one. Very Snug FIt. Now working like new!

Install was easy.

Install was not bad. Need a little mechanical common sense and patience. The motor snap twists into the blower assembly housing so don't try to yank it out. It took about an hour to tear apart and install. Additional 1/2 hour to vacuum all the lint and dust inside. Part was of quality craftsmanship.

Fit perfectly

I received my part and was able to install it the same day. It was the same motor as the old one and my dryer started right up. Its quiet and I would recommend yearly cleaning of the dryer parts. The lint buildup was everywhere. After cleaning and a new motor, the old one squeaked really loudly and the dryer would turn itself off, now what took a full load 60 mins to dry now takes only 40 mins! Talk about efficiency.

Installation was straight forward

The motor installed easily but it hums as though a bearing is bad and the belt drive is in the wrong position causing the belt to ride on the large part of the drum and not in the indent of the drum.
