Default Dryer motor stuck to blower wheel
Brand: General Electric

I am going crazy trying to disconnect my faulty motor from the blower wheel. It seems to be in so tight (thanks to the GE Tech) that I can't get it off!

What should I do?!

some blower wheels are attached opposite the norm. instead of Righty tighty - Lefty Loosey, they are opposite. Also be sure you have the shaft secure so it wont rotate

If all else fails, get a big hammer, and break it off. Tom ApplianceEducator.com Tom
