The blower motor completely stopped spinning on our appliance ended up being caused by a failing part. Needed basic hand tools only and the replacement solved it.

After dealing with a situation where the dryer started making loud squealing noise, we installed this replacement part. Appliance has been running normally since then. Repair turned out easier than expected honestly.

Wasnt completely sure this would match at first since the blower motor completely stopped spinning. Thankfully installation wasnt too difficult overall and everything is working again.

Access was a little tight behind the panel while replacing the old component because the dryer started making loud squealing noise. Cooling performance seems stable again.
