Customer Questions and Answers for Blower Wheel Assembly by Whirlpool

Joe

Answer Yes, it is possible your blower wheel is causing the noise. Part number Y303836 is supposed to have a flat side. Sometimes they will wear out in the center and the sloppy fit causes it to wobble making a noise. Sounds like you're on the right track. Thanks!
