J. TO REMOVE/REPLACE IMPELLOR (FAN/BLOWER)
1. Discontinue power to the dryer.
2. Remove the lint drawer, the control/lint door, and the control box from the dryer (follow Control Box
Removal Procedure in
Section D).
NOTE: If lower basket (tumbler) is being serviced, the control box does not have to be removed.
3. Loosen, (DO NOT remove) the four (4) 1/2” OD nuts that hold the motor to the motor mount. These nuts
are at the underside of the motor mount assembly.
4. Remove the lower half of the rear split back guard panel to either the top or the bottom basket (tumbler),
depending on which basket (tumbler) is being serviced.
5. Remove the four (4) 7/16” OD nuts, which secure the impellor (fan/blower) housing cover to the blower
housing.

to the impellor (fan/blower) housing.
7. Loosen the two (2) setscrews on the impellor (fan/blower)/shaft bearing.
8. Remove the impellor (fan/blower)/shaft bearing from the shaft. To do so, wedge a slotted screwdriver
blade between the bearing impellor (fan/blower) cover and walk bearing back off the shaft. The impellor
(fan/blower) cover will also now separate from impellor (fan/blower) housing.

(fan /blower) by grasping fan with both hands and pulling outward. The key will also come off motor shaft
in the procedure.

tighten only) with the two (2) lock washers and nuts removed in Step #6. Install the housing cover and
bearing assembly onto the shaft and housing. Secure with the four (4) nuts removed in Step #5. Secure the
two (2) setscrews on the impellor (fan/blower)/shaft bearing. Be sure that these setscrews are securely in
place.
