Whirlpool WP3394196 Seal, Blower Shaft OEM Part

It took two repair attempts to fix the dryer. At first, I noticed that the rear felt seal was completely worn out, so I thought that extra friction between the tub and the rear panel might be causing the motor to have to work too hard and overheat. I ordered a new seal from appliancepartspros.com, and installed it according to their instructional video, but it did not correct the problem. Then I decided that the motor must be going bad, so I watched the on-line video on how to remove the motor and detached it from the blower fan. Then I removed the motor form our dryer, basically just like the video showed. The video had also mentioned that the old blower fan may be stuck or get damaged and that it may need to be chiseled off, which actually did happen to me. However, the video also showed how to do that, so it wasn't difficult to do. I ordered a new motor and blower fan on a Friday morning and the parts arrived on Tuesday afternoon. The installation went very well and within an hour the dryer was working like new. I also recently had to replace the element in our dishwasher and the main electronics module in our stove and those repairs went just as smooth and easy. I really appreciate the installation and repair videos that are available on appliancepartspros,com, as well as their large selection of part and their extremely reasonable prices, as well as their reasonable shipping fees and their return 365-Day, any part, any reason return policy.

Replaced the motor, blower, rear drum felt seal, and drive belt. Vacuumed up the lint everywhere, cleaned extra lint out of the chute, around the blower, and rear vents.

Took it apart. Replaced various general maintenance parts, rollers, seals, clean out all the lint and replaced motor and put a new blower on it.

After noticing the brown marks on the clothing I proceeded to inspect the dryer. It was easy to see that the felt ring at the back of the drum had deteriorated completely and was letting the drum rub on back of dryer removing the paint. It was also collecting dirt around the same ring. Upon taking apart the dryer, I decided to replace the front plastic bearing rings, the drums felt ring on back, a new belt, rollers, lint chute gasket, blower housing gasket, and also repaint the back of the dryer and the inside of the drum. I easily found and purchased all parts including paint on this site. After sanding, complete dryer cleaning, repainting, and installing all new parts the dryer works good as new with no more marks! Great videos on the site also! Thanks

The dryer was a later model, 1998 ish. I knew the motor was bad because it was locked up. I decided that I would give it a try and searched for the part. I found it at Appliance parts pros and watched a video on replacing the motor. I ran into a little hiccup trying to get the blower wheel to free itself from the shaft. I was into it already, so I ordered the blower wheel as well. Once i had both parts, the rest was simple. The video definitely helps. The parts came quick and the dryer is back up and running.
