Product review (5 stars): Great OEM Whirlpool dryer motor replacement
Perfect OEM replacement motor for my 1997 Whirlpool gas dryer. Easy install - just watch the Youtube videos that are out there. Don't know about the noise that some people complained about with some motors  - this sounds fine - just like the original.
Takes about 15 minutes to get the dryer apart (lots of lint!) - I also replaced the igniter, flame detector, belt, wheels and idler pulley while I had it apart - all very easy and all bought at Amazon. $110 of parts (most of it the motor) vs $600 for a new dryer. Gotta love Amazon
Just be aware of the left-hand thread when taking off the blower wheel from the motor shaft.
