There is usually no obvious logic in spare parts logistics (on the
manufacturer's side). I don't know about dryers but it certainly applies
in other domains.

You could do some troubleshooting by checking how many wires go to the
motor. Typically 'many'. If only a few (2 3 or 4) you have a pretty good
chance to locate the problem yourself imho. Try to find out how many
wires. Typically appliance motors with low rpm use a capacitor connected
all the time (run capacitor as opposed to start capacitor). Does the motor
reverse ? Can you start it backwards (be careful!) ?

The $100 spare part is only half the story, you need to invest the time to
change it, assuming you have the right diagnostic.
