Product review (5 stars): Perfect replacement motor for my Kenmore Dryer
I ordered this as a replacement for our Kenmore dryer's motor.  Our dryer had motor part number 3395654 but the part number 279787 was listed as its current replacement.  The new motor fit exactly and wired in exactly as the old one.  I found a great Youtube video called "Motor Replacement (part #279787) - Whirlpool/ Kenmore Gas Dryer (27") Repair" that showed step by step how to access the old motor and replace it.  Search for it and watch it and you'll have no problem doing the repair yourself.
