Is the air blowing from the exhaust in the back of the dryer and are clothes drying?
if the motor turned the other way, you would have no air flow. The dryer is working as designed. Also, if the drum turned clockwise, the idler pulley would not keep the belt tight. Some dryers turn clockwise, some counterclockwise.
Depends on what type of fan you have some do get stuck and feel like they are going to break but you can try this trick. As you are turning the globe counter clockwise pess the globe upward and if tht does not work try spraying some magical WD 40 (very little) and see if that works.
From inside dryer hold blower wheel with wrench that fits the squre part of blower wheel turn motor shaft clockwise should loosen the blower wheel............
Don't run the dryer until it is repaired iot will damage a lot of other things if you do. depending on the make and model . most are repaired through the front of the dryer the top comes up and front panel pulls off the blower is screwed onto the motoir shaft some are clockwise and some counterclock wise most are counter. always unplug before working on
The spindle screw is
reverse tread and you need to turn it clockwise to loosen and counter clockwise
to tighten the screw. You can usually hold the spindle with your hand then turn
the screw clockwise to loosen the screw. Worst case scenario, carefully turn the machine upside down.
Place it on a clean supporting surface. Use a flat-head screwdriver or similar
device to remove the plastic gear cover to gain access to socket-head screw. Carefully
place the machine on its side. Attach
the spindle adapter to the motor shaft turning
the spindle adapter counter-clockwise on the shaft. NOTE: Motor shaft has a left-hand thread. Place a 7/16" open-end wrench on the flats of spindle adapter.
Insert a 3/16" hex wrench into the socket-head screw
located where the plastic gear cover was removed. Hold the hex wrench to prevent the motor shaft from turning. Turn the
wrench counter -clock wise to fasten the spindle adapter on the motor shaft. Reinstall the plastic gear cover that was removed above.
The condensor fan should be sucking air from the top and blowing it through the coils, probably a counter clockwise direction. The buzzing/humming sound is confusing to me. A humming sound sounds like a motor that can not turn over to start. A starting capacity would be needed. Just because you changed it out last year does not mean it is good. A buzzing sound sounds like a contactor problem. Contactors buzz and after a while, they will fail. In any case, you can "stick start" the condensor fan PROVIDED you are sure the ac compressor is working (this is for a short and temporary use). Also, you may have a high load duty capacitor that assists in the unit running. This will affect your condensor fan operation if it is not good. Unless you know all the components and operations of ac electrical, I would highly recommend calling out a professional.
Checked all the IR compressors in stock and all turn counter-clockwise facing pulley, however you could check the pump for fan angle on pulley. The fan on the compressor pulley blows air towards the pump. Generally, pumps turn CC because that would allow for the use of gasoline engines which all turn CC. Please email you questions, and Good Luck.
you can but now you have to turn the motor shaft at the belt end..i believe you can put your adjustable behind the plastic square blower wheel shaft..on the motor shaft and try turning with your hand its hard to turn because the drum when turning turns the oppsite way,,im,,here onthejob..use gloves
