I have a Kenmore dryer that squeels when you start the dryer. I removed the drum to to get to the motor and when I spin it over by hand it make the squeek noise, so I would assume it's the bearings on the motor going south. My question is how do I get the blower wheel off. I know it threads on but which way to I turn it to get it off and how is the best method of removing. Thanks for any help

Glad to hear you are up and running.
Seems that more often then not the blower wheel has to be destroyed or perhaps on this forum we only see the blower wheel problems when it cannot come off. |
