Upgraded 279827

We bought this for our 25+ year old Whirlpool gas dryer. I had already replaced the belt, tensioner, drum wheels, and rear fabric drum gasket. It became apparent that the old motor was shot. Although getting the old blower wheel and motor mounting was challenging for a woman to do (takes a lot of arm strength and had to cut off the old wheel), once they were off, replacing the motor and blower wheel went quickly. Perfect motor fit and smooth functioning! Now the dryer is like brand new and we are loving it! PS, you should definitely buy a new blower wheel when replacing the motor. As mentioned above, I had to cut the old blower wheel off with a rotary saw because it was so old and impossible to thread off the motor drive shaft.

Kenmore series 100 (model 110.xxxxxxxx). Fitted perfectly for this model. No adjustments needed. Literally was a plug in and play deal. Easily replaced. Didn’t notice a change in noise. I also changed the belt which I got at Lowe’s. Dryer working perfectly now. I’ll update if situation changes. If no update than motor is still working good UPDATE: 3 months later and it’s still going 👍

First things first - the seller responded very quickly to make sure this particular motor would replace my current one (Part 3395652 in the picture). I think I had a response within hours. Upon receiving the motor, it was packaged well and nearly immediately ready to use, only had to blow off a couple pieces of styrofoam. The motor fit in exactly as I needed in my Kenmore 70 Series dryer. I did not have to change any clock settings (the angle at which the motor is mounted). The fan easily affixed to the shaft, the motor clips went in easy for the most part, and the belt easily got set in place. I ran a few loads through the dryer and I gotta be honest, I almost couldn’t hear the thing. It drives the drum well, works as intended, and a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a whole new dryer. I would 100% recommend this dryer motor.

This motor replaced the 26-year-old motor in my Estate (Whirlpool) dryer. It's a bit fussy to put in, so watch the alignment of the rear clip that holds it in place. There is a good Youtube video that shows how to replace the motor, step by step. And thank goodness for that, because this unit comes in an unlabeled cardboard box, and is just a motor in two pieces of styrofoam. There is NO documentation, instructions, not even a label stating where it was manufactured, which we can all guess... Another hint: if it groans and vibrates after you install it, it's probably a worn out/damaged fan. My old motor was no good any more, and the new one is doing the job, but the fan is somehow damaged and noisy, so if that is your situation, you'll have the enjoyment of disassembling it one more time. It will save you at least five hundred bucks, though. I chose this one over the OEM because a dryer is a daily necessity, and the OEM would have taken a week or so to arrive. Getting it the next day is very handy, but if the original equipment were available on Prime, then I would have preferred to spend a bit more and gotten something that would most likely last a couple of decades.

My dryer parts have been slowly going bad. I replaced a belt, rollers, switch a tensioner and pulley. Finally, the motor went and this was the perfect replacement installation was easy, and I can dry my clothes. The dryer wasn't made to last I can tell, but I'm thankful for all the replacement parts I've gotten on Amazon they've all worked out great.

It was a perfect fit for my kenmore series 500 gas dryer, and works great! It was literally plug and play, just use a crescent wrench to hold the fan so you can turn the front part of the motor and it screws right off.. I’m not sure how people brake the fan to remove these motors, remember that the fan has REVERSE THREADS..

Great price exact fit you have to measure the shaft length to match up along with this part number that has several different shaft length options for this same part number

I’ve got an old me more 80 from decades ago. The thing is a beast but the motor finally died. I replaced it with this one and it’s working wonderfully now; it’s able to easily dry my comforter where the old motor struggled. I did have to splice the wiring a bit to make it reach because the connections were in a different spot but it was super doable
