ABSTRACT:
An electric fan motor of a domestic clothes dryer is directly secured to an associated plastic blower housing by a locking member which is snap-fit to the blower housing. The blower housing includes an arcuate support member which supports a hub of the motor. The locking member includes an arcuate securing portion which overlies the hub and cooperates with the support member to define a socket which secures the hub to the blower housing. The blower housing has an open side which is covered by a metal blower cover. The blower cover is snap-fit to the blower housing, and has a thermostat mounted thereto. The thermostat is electrically connected to ground via the blower cover and a fastener inserted into a base of the clothes dryer cabinet.
