Product review (5 stars): Maytag Clothes Dryer Motor Y303358 / 303358
This electric motor was a substitute for a motor in a 1977 Maytag clothes dryer. Even though it looks different (mainly because the original motor cover completely enclosed the windings), the outside dimensions and mounting points match exactly; and the motor is a direct fit for the 1977 original. The cost of this motor is a fraction of the price of a new dryer; and now, our old Maytag is good for another 35 years! -- Very satisfied!

Installation note: The most difficult portion of this repair was reinstalling the dryer belt over the motor and tension pulleys. Due to the location and orientation of these parts in our old dryer, one must do this blind, by feel. The first time, I installed the belt "wrong-side-out"; and the sharp grooves in the pulley shredded the belt.

IMPORTANT TIP: Save time and order a new belt along with the replacement motor, which is a good idea anyway.
