I am about to replace my motor how do I get the squirrel cage blower off the motor shaft? I see its threaded but I don't want to turn it the wrong way. What is the proper procedure to change out the motor on this unit

Hi Bob,

Here's the parts diagram for your model:
FSG447GHS0
Diagram#5 Part location#28 is your motor.

Its been awhile since I changed a motor on this Frigidaire dryer, but I believe its reverse-threaded. Just hold the motor shaft on the belt pulley side with a crescent wrench, then turn the blower wheel clock-wise.

Thanks for the info everything went well. While I was in there I cleaned and shopvaced everything. I teach a building trades program with high school students where we build a new home every year. If the dryer was made out of wood it would have been no sweat. If I can ever help you with a construction question fell free to contact me.
Thanks again !!!
Have a safe and prosperous 2008

Good job fixing it Nailbender.

I think that building trades program for the high school students is really good to teach the high school students, they learn alot and teaches good self-esteem skills and the feeling of self-satisfaction of accomplishment in building a house, just like fixing appliances.
