Yeah-- I was thinking that 8 years isn't even broken-in. My old Sears dryer was 27 when I had to replace a pulley and a thermal fuse. It ran just like it was new after that. I left it with that house but, hopefully, it's still running today.

Sears (Kenmore) appliances from that era are manufactured by Whirlpool in the US.

The motor died on mine and they "didn't make it any more".

I tried to find something close and make custom gearing but it ended up being cheaper to get a new dryer.
