279787 Dryer Drive Motor Replacement
Motor works but has different wiring vs. factory original. Re-wiring diagram not clear, but instructions were accurate. Save yourself some time and order the blower fan wheel at the same time, it will probably break when removing the old motor.
I would buy again, adequate for my use, and much less expensive from Speedy. -
Worked well
It took me a little bit to figure out the wiring for the belt break switch but the diagram included with the motor was very helpful. My dryer is back to working order.
