How we confirm it first
The technician confirms the belt, idler and blower are free, then tests the motor windings and switch.
What the repair involves
The motor is replaced with the blower wheel checked at the same time.
Why it fails
Motors wear out from lint in the windings and from straining against a seized pulley, roller or blower.
How to make it last
Fix squeals and thumps early, and keep the cabinet free of lint build-up.
Repair or replace?
Worth it on newer dryers; on older units the finding compares it with replacement.
What it costs
