Loads of squealing for last 2 weeks and now stopped altogether. pulled dryer out and a lot of black carbon like dust under where the motor would have been. are the motor bearings done or maybe the capacitor or is the motor just shot and needs a new one. How do I get access to it to replace it?

Black Carbon is Not Good! This could be related to the Brushes on the motor and unless you are good at repairing a motor; I would advise getting a replacement. Write down the Make, Mod. and other details from the Motor label and look on line for a low cost replacement. To open the Dryer, just unscrew the back panel and look for the motor housing. In some cases, you may have to remove the Drum, pulley and/or drive belt. Be careful because the Metal Is Sharp and it can Cut your hands or Arms. The motor when exposed can be removed from the dryer housing by removing the screws/bolts and attached wire connections. Remember the order in witch you took it apart because that is way you put it back together. Remember the exact attachment of the electric wires prior to pulling them off of the motor (Red and Black/or White wires). These wires Must be reattached the exact way they were affixed at the factory. When done, replace the back panel and your done. I do hope you DISCONNECTED the Power Plug "FIRST"...Dah?
