      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.

Maytag Dryer Motor Instructions, No Model# yet

Looks to me like the motor will come with an instruction sheet telling you how to install and how to wire it up.

 

Your old motor most likely will have all 1/4" spade connectors with colored dots on the motor switch to match up to the wiring.  The new motor has the quick disconnect style connector with 1/8" spade connectors which is why it comes with the 3  1/8" connectors.   You must cut the old 1/4" connectors off and replace with the 1/8" ones to fit the terminals on the new motor - the instructions should tell what color wire goes to what number terminal, (the two heater wires will retain there 1/4" connectors and go to the outside terminals).

 

This is not going to be a fun one to replace if the motor pulley is frozen onto the shaft - it might be a good idea to just purchase a new pulley at the same time.

 

Here's a model number that uses this motor if you want to look up and see a parts breakdown - it's a stack unit, (LSE7806ACE).  Most all of this info is on the APP parts page that you linked to.

Thanks!

All I had when I posted this was a motor with no instruction sheet.

I looked up that model number on APP and they had a schematic posted, the same one I ended up  working on. I was able to use that and my meter to figger out the terminals.

That looks like it's for a stack unit, hence the single shaft. That one's a bitch to install the belt on. Just to replace the belt you have to remove the blower housing and wheel.

Here's how I've done the belts; the drum being only about 16" deep makes it very doable:

1. Take the spring off the idler assembly.

2. Wrap the belt all the way around the idler with the grooves facing out; the free ends of the belt both go between the idler wheel and the idler bracket.

3. Tread both the free ends under and to the left of the motor pulley(no need to remove blower).

4. Hang the belt around the rear bulkhead, install the drum, and position the belt around the drum, on the wide part where it was riding before.

5. Install the idler spring.
