Mend White Knight Fan Tumble Dryer

Remove Fan to remove back plate on White Knight tumble dryer?

My tumble dryer not working at all. Had stopped, pushed restart button and it began but with a grinding noise. Then it just stopped. Any ideas? Been told might be belt broken but need to remove back to get to belt and can't get fan off to remove back plate.

Nettie is wrong, turn it anticlockwise to unscrew it. put a piece of tape over the top of the fan otherwise the spring type washer will ping off & you may lose it. You can poke a large flat head screw driver down to hold the motor but be carefull not to damage the windings. once it is free it will turn off easily. Then screw back on & replace the spring type clip with the flat head screw driver.

Don't turn it anti-clockwise, turn it clockwise - the screw-thread is left-handed!

To remove the fan hold the spindle of the motor with grips
and turn the fan anti clockwise it should unscrew quite easerly

hope this helps
