The Blower Wheel is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is crucial for circulating air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust vent, ensuring efficient drying of clothes. The blower wheel spins to create airflow, removing moisture and heat from the dryer drum.
Causes of a bad blower wheel can include accumulation of lint or debris, regular wear and tear from continuous use, or damage from foreign objects that might get caught in the wheel.
Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:
- The dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes

- Unusual noises such as thumping or rattling during operation
- The dryer overheating or shutting off unexpectedly
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
