Parts for Kitchenaid KECD807XS00: 02 - Blower Unit Parts

This blower wheel mounts on the drive motor and pushes air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust. Replacing a worn wheel restores proper airflow for consistent drying and helps prevent overheating and nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Moves air across the heater, through the drum, and out the vent to remove moisture
• Helps maintain proper airflow and temperature inside the dryer
• Common failure symptoms: reduced or no airflow at the exterior vent, longer dry times, unusual scraping/thumping or vibration from the blower area, or overheating/shutoff
• Cracked fins or a stripped hub can cause the wheel to slip on the motor shaft

• 1 blower wheel

• Disconnect power and turn off gas supply before servicing
• Access the blower housing per your model's service instructions; remove the retaining hardware and replace the wheel in the same orientation
• Clean lint from the blower housing and vent path; inspect the motor shaft and blower seal for wear
• Reassemble and verify the wheel spins freely without rubbing; check airflow at the exterior vent

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged

Size: 1 inch.
