Thank you! It is so quiet now!
Good gravy! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! 😂
You are welcome.
Thanks, this told me what I needed to do. My only problem is that the fan has separated from the bushing, so I am going to have to find another way to remove the fan.
If you are replacing the whole thing you can just cut off what ever is hung up. You can try a vise grip to hold the bushing while you turn the motor shaft, but if you can get the bushing off you may have to cut it off, just do not damage the threads.
Thanks! May 2020
3:59 Part number is upside down on the front of the fan blower housing (3 inches to the left of his screwdriver)
Thank you for this video. It was very thorough in replacing my part.
Upon reassembly though, the dryer drum itself seems to be "tight" to spin. This was not an issue prior to part replacement. The motor fights to spin the drum so I turn off the machine before i seemingly burn it out. I tried the belt/ tensioner/ spring steps 3 different times with the same unfortuneate results. Any suggestions?
craigg farnsworth I would double check everything is put together correctly. Make sure the ball on the rear of the drum is pushed down into the bearing if not the drum may sit at an angle and not spin, make sure the rear felt is not jamming it up, make sure the front felts are in good condition and the drum rides smoothly on it, with the belt off make sure the motor and blower turn freely then correctly reinstall the belt.
thank you so much, my problem though, is that the motor bearings/bushings is worn, can these be replaced, or does the entire motor has to be replaced?
mikey mendoza The motor is sold as a complete assembly.
A correction to your video. There are little plastic feet on the blower unit that must be positioned into the dryers slots in the metal bottom of the dryer or the alignment will be off and the blower will rub on the housing or wear out prematurely.
Agreed. The video kind of over-simplifies the "just put the blower back in". The shaft is obvious. I was struggling with aligning the plastic/rubber gasket that's around the shaft and between the motor and blower assembly - the one that needs to sit in the slot on the back side of the blower and is held in by the "plastic support clip". Once you see the plastic feet and slots, it comes together much more easily. Thanks Jonathan!
Thank you! :-)
You're welcome!
What kind of noise does this make when it’s bad ? At start up mine make one big clunk and bunch of little noises afterwards. The little noises r only heard with front off
Can I replace just the wheel or do I have to do the housing as well?
I had to heat up the metal part on the blower wheel in order to remove it. It was really stuck.
I don't have anything to heat it... any other ideas?
Yes this guy he don't show you how to really get the job done
My barrel doesn't want to separate from the rear. Could it be attached? This one you just pulled right out.
3:36 Turn clockwise to loosen the fan wheel... but it may not come off ...if so: You may need remove the motor along with the housing to cut the blower housing off so you can cut the blower wheel plastic off. Then use 2 pairs of locking pliers... one pair on the hub (that separated from the blower wheel) and one pair of pliers on the shaft just behind the hub.
Thank you for this. I was breaking my head tryin to figure it out because the fan broke off of the part that screws off. So I couldn’t turn it to get it loose.
@@eduardoreyes8780 You're welcome! That's what happened to mine. (Oddly enough I was talking about this job just last night with my Dad)
Same situation... finally looked at the comments, thanks! What did you find to be the easiest way to cut off the housing and wheel?
@@fessensj Unplug dryer 😉Remove old blower wheel from the dryer and use vise grips as I mentioned above. It's been a couple of years but I think I chopped off all of the plastic on the old assembly to get a good spot to lock the vise-grips on. Wear eye protection and gloves. (I almost lost an eye from flying plastic years ago😨). Just be aware of what you can destroy and what you need to reuse prior to your attack. Mine was "stuck good"! I was highly annoyed and swearing at it repeatedly. (I wrench on many cars, mowers etc and this silly blower was surprisingly a major PITA)
I also used my air compressor and a shop-vac to clean out all the funk/dust/fuzz while the parts were removed. Good time to consider a solid dryer vent (instead of a flex exhaust hose) to avoid a house fire. Some high quality 3" vinyl tape is great to seal up ducts (factory duct connections allow for dust to escape).
I got my dryer 15 years ago for $75 and I still use it every day😀. I even added 12" square sheets of noise deadening material on the interior walls and inside the door (took door apart). Same type of noise deadening material used for car stereo installs. I installed a new drum bearing when I did the blower since I had it all apart and I imagine this dryer will run another 15 years. Super quiet now. Better than anything you can buy new IMO. Have fun!
@@fessensj I think I used a number of tools like a hack/jab saw, aviation snips and my beloved Knipex "74-250" diagonal cutters. Knipex pliers "88-250" are amazingly helpful to grab an rip off plastic as well.
Is there another model that uses the same blower fan? I don't want to buy the whole unit I just want the fan. I have the plastic unit opened up by melting the plastic welds to gain access. Now I just need an interchangeable fan.
THETOPGLOCK I think this style is only sold as the complete assembly. You can go to our website and enter the appliance model number to see how it is sold. Frigidaire is not really known for putting part numbers on parts but if there are any numbers on the old blower wheel itself, you can try to enter it on our site to see if it comes up as a part sold separately.
I was thinking of repairing the assembly. Im curious how this worked out for you.
I see that the shaft on my Frigidaire Affinity is different than the one shown.There is only a small amount of thread(a lot smaller than in the video.Help me please
+Clint Burns Without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
Figured out what was wrong.Thanks
+Clint Burns Glad you got the dryer fixed!
Its easier to remove the entire motor blower assembly 4 screws and 1 electric connector on motor. Then put on a bench remove blower wheel and assemble in reverse. I did this way today.
Thanks for that tip.
I had to do this so I could chop the housing and wheel off just to get to the separated metal hub.
Dam I've been doing this for a long time appliance repair and never have I pulled apart a frigidaire dryer as easy as your video. What you should do is get a real used dryer so they can see how hard it is to get the bearing out of its cradle
Thank you! Great video, helped immensely. Problem I encountered is the threaded metal core of the fan is really stuck. When I tried to loosen the blower wheel with the 5/8s socket, it wouldn't budge and I ended up rounding the plastic 'nut'. So I chiseled the remaining plastic off thinking I could get a better grip on the threaded metal portion once the blower was removed. Unfortunately, I still can't loosen the threaded metal core of the blower wheel. I have used locking pliers everywhere I can possibly get a grip on, double checked I was loosening clockwise, used penetrating oil, checked again on clockwise removal, hit it.... ahem, tapped it with said locking pliers and still no go. Reviewed again the anti 'righty tighty' rule and started considering a small torch but decided to post a question first. Very frustrating as this is my first appliance repair and it was going so well!! Any other Ideas on how I can get this old threaded metal core off? I don't own a small rotary tool (dremel) (yet).
how did you and up getting the metal bushing off...I have the same problem?
@@elizabethmunoz4000 we have same issues & are now desperate! We may try to warm it up with a hair dryer on hot?
@@elizabethmunoz4000 Late reply, but: I'm having the same problem. by the looks of it, your best bet might be to cut the old housing apart so you can get vice grips on the remainers of the bushing.
Incredibly frustrating that the housing is plastic-welded together. Only my fan is broken. If not for the plastic welded housing, this would be a 15 minute repair.
