Parts for Maytag JED3536WS01: 02 - Blower Unit Parts

This plenum air piece channels and directs airflow inside the appliance to help maintain proper ventilation and heating performance. It replaces a damaged or cracked plenum to restore correct air routing and reduce airflow restriction. What it does:

• Directs and channels airflow between components to support proper heating and exhaust
• Helps prevent hotspots and uneven heating by keeping airflow pathways intact
• Restores normal venting when a cracked or broken plenum causes air leaks
• Reduces unusual air noises or vibrations caused by a damaged plenum

• One plenum-air

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any service
• Remove exterior panels carefully; watch for sharp sheet-metal edges
• Verify correct orientation and fit before securing; use original fasteners where provided
• If any seals, gaskets, or mounting clips are damaged, replace them to ensure a proper seal

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 grease filter traps airborne grease and cooking residue from the vent airstream. Replacing a worn or clogged filter helps restore airflow, protects the blower and ducting, and reduces greasy buildup on surrounding surfaces.

• Captures grease particles before they reach the fan and ductwork
• Helps maintain proper ventilation performance
• Common symptoms of a bad filter: lingering odors, poor venting, visible saturation or damage, rattling or loose fit
• Regular replacement supports cleaner operation and effective exhaust

• Disconnect power to the hood or microwave before servicing
• Access the filter from the underside; release the latch or fastener and remove the old filter
• Install the new filter in the same orientation as the original; ensure it is fully seated and secured
• Do not operate the vent without a grease filter in place
