The Dryer Drive Motor powers the drum of the appliance during the drying cycle. If your dryer's drum stops turning during operation, won't start at all, or the motor itself is loud, the drive motor may be burned up or damaged and require replacement. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
