Product review (5 stars): Easy fix
The old blower on my dryer snapped off of the shaft and was making all kinds of noise. Somehow, the dryer was still working though. I saw some reviews where people couldn't remove the blower from the motor and I also experienced that problem, but rather than spending $150 on a new motor I just broke the old one off (the only part that isn't plastic is the nut that screws onto the motor shaft) and removed the metal nut that the blower is pressed to with my vice. The dryer is quieter now than it has been since we have owned it.
