I am replacing the motor in my dryer and I'm not sure where to start.
Anyone out there that can lend a hand?
Thanks!!

Unplug it?

Where are you?
Can't imagine it could be anything more than taking the old one out and
putting in a new one.

I'm in Virginia and I'm thinking that there is probably a little more
to it than unplugging it :-)

check out
http://www.repairclinic.com/
hvave your model number & serial number available
I have found this website to be very useful for parts & info, I've
bought dozens of aplliance parts, they all have been the correct part,
came in a few days. They a very efffective "part finder" system if you
don't have the exact P/N.
I've been a DIY for over 40 years (replaced my first dryer heater
element when I was 11)
If you are at all mechanically inclined & have a reasonable set of
tools, a DIY dryer motor will be a snap. If the dryer location is
"close quarters" that will be the most trouble.
Dryers are pretty simple beasts.
last dryer repair I did, I got a generalized repair manual just as
"insurance" ~$15
here's an example
p/n 753981
Dryer repair manual for
Whirlpool - Sears - Kenmore - Kitchen Aid - Roper -
Estate large capacity dryers. Gas or electric. Revision H (copyright

cheers
