Whirlpool Motor Coupler

Whirlpool washer (model#LSR6232JQ0): After it fills with water, you can hear the motor run, but no agitation, then when you put it in the spin cycle, it drains the water, but doesn't spin and the motor is running. Found the motor coupler worn and broken, installed a new one.

Amana Dryer Blower Wheel

Amana dryer(model#ALE331RAW/PALE331RAW): The motor would just hum and not turn on. I found some clogged lint and a torn wash cloth stuck in the blower wheel & housing assembly. The blower wheel wasn't damaged, but I have seen some that have been damaged like this.

Here is the blower wheel for this model:
