14mm socket required for blower fan nut
The blower fan is secured to the motor shaft with a 14mm nut. A socket set with 6-inch extension is required. Lock the blower wheel with a screwdriver before attempting to remove the nut. A jig tool is also available for disassembling the fan on the back. Having the correct tools prevents damage to the motor shaft.
Blower fan removal requires 14mm socket and lockdown technique
To remove the blower fan from the motor shaft, lock the blower wheel with a screwdriver to prevent rotation, then use a 14mm socket to remove the nut. The fan is on the motor shaft and can be difficult to remove if lint has packed around it. A socket set with 6-inch extension is listed as a required tool.
Cabinet spreading technique for drum removal
When removing the drum, carefully spread the cabinet as needed to get extra clearance for pulling the drum out. However, take care not to deform the cabinet. This technique is necessary because the drum is a tight fit and cannot simply be lifted straight out without some spreading of the side panels.
