The long vent blower motor is connected parallel
to the dryer drive motor. The long vent blower
motor has a resistance of approximately 14.25 -
15.75 ohms.
Removing the long vent blower motor is a little
motor from just being pulled out. It will need to be
moved slightly.
1. Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws that hold
the top of the motor bracket to the blower
housing.
2. Remove two 1/4-inch hex-head screws
securing the drive motor to the chassis base.
3. Rotate the drive motor to the right so the shaft
will not interfere with the blower motor.
4. Remove two 1/4-inch hex-head screws
securing the blower motor to the chassis
base.
5. Slide the blower motor and blower wheel out
from the blower housing.
NOTE: When reinstalling the motors, ensure the
tabs on the motor brackets are slid into the slots
on the chassis base before securing with screws.
