Hi. I have a Kenmore 80 Series dryer (model 110.66812694) with a broken Blower Wheel (part number 694089). I have tried to remove the wheel, but it won't come off. Any advice on how to remove (and replace) the blower wheel? Do I need to remove the drum and motor?

Thanks in advance for your help!

To remove blower wheel its easier to get at with drum removed & working in front of motor side. One important thing to remember is the blower wheel has reverse threads so turn it off motor shaft the opposite way you would normally think it should come off. There should be a flat spot on the motor shaft around the pulley to hold shaft with a wrench while you turn off the blower wheel with another wrench. Remove old wheel from back & screw on new one.
