Product review (4 stars): Works well, not too expensive, wasn't my issue, this motor has a rubbing sound by default
For this product, there's nothing really wrong with it. It works, it wasn't very expensive (compared to a new dryer). However, mine didn't need to be replaced. I thought it did because my dryer was noisy and when I took the drum off and spun the pulley on the motor, it made a wishy-washy rubbing noise that I figured meant the bearings were bad. That's not the case, the new one does that too! That's just what this motor sounds like, so if that's your problem, it may not be it. My problem ended up being the fan/housing that was getting hot and out of round/rubbing. A quick test would be to run the dryer without heat, if it doesn't make noise but then it does after you turn the heat on, it's probably not the motor, it's probably the fan/housing.
