Considerable disassembly is required to access the motor.

Remove the lid. Carefully pry out the rubber lid bumpers at front corners of the top deck. Remove the screws. Raise the top deck.

Remove the screws at the top front corners that anchor the front panel. Slightly spread the sides of the front panel so the tabs on it clear the door grabber mechanism. Pull the front forward then lift it up off the base tabs. Careful of the green ground wire that's clipped to lower edge of the front panel. Pull the wire clip off the panel, set the panel aside.

Roll the drum forward to close the drum door panel. Trace the wires from the door grabber mechanism to the sensor module at the left of the cabinet. Disconnect the wires. Release the anchor tabs that attach the door grabber to the sides of the cabinet, lift the door grabber mechanism up and off.

Open the cover on the motor control module (mounted at the left side under the drum). Find the ground wires that lead from it and disconnect them from the cabinet base. Unplug the motor harness from the module, and unplug the 6-wire communication harness from the module.

Lay a protective blanket or mat on the floor in front of the dryer.

Pull the inner drum chassis forward to pivot the entire mechanism forward out of the outer cabinet. Beware sharp of sharp sheet metal -- wearing protective gloves is recommended.

The motor is mounted at the right rear of the chassis.
