Easy replacement - 1997 Kenmore 80 Series
Dropped in and worked. Quality looks fine. Hopefully it will last 25 years like the original did. The install videos on the Sears website are very helpful. The hardest part is getting the spring clips back on.

drop-in replacement.
this wasn't a easy install but it wasn't overly difficult. Access to several YouTube videos provided suggestions on how to remove the parts successfully.

Pretty easy repair of Whirlpool Dryer
The new motor installed very easily. The tricky part was getting the blower fan off the old motor. Found a video where someone used a set of channel locks and a pry bar to break the fan loose. Other than that it was very easy.

Easy to install
It Was easy to install but you do need to take the drum out so you can take off the blower fan from the back of the motor
