Product review (5 stars): Perfect replacement for Kenmore Series 80
Our Kenmore dryer started making noise, then shutting down before the cycle was complete. This motor was a direct fit replacement. Sears has videos on Youtube on how to replace the motor but there is an even better video by Canyonman. Tools I used to replace the motor were a screwdriver, set of nut drivers (or small sockets), vice grips, pliers, and an adjustable wrench. It took a couple hours, I had never done it before and getting the motor broke loose from the fan took awhile because I was afraid of breaking something.
