Parts for Maytag JED8430BDB18: 02 - Blower Unit Parts

This 10-32 terminal block nut fastens wire lugs to the appliance's terminal studs. Replacing a missing, stripped, or corroded nut restores a tight, reliable connection and helps prevent heat damage or intermittent power at the connection.

• Secures wire lugs to a 10-32 terminal stud for a solid electrical connection
• Restores proper clamping force when the original nut is stripped, corroded, or missing
• Helps address loose/burned terminal connections, heat discoloration, or intermittent power at the block
• Suitable for terminal block and similar 10-32 stud applications on compatible appliances

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Inspect the terminal block, studs, and wiring for heat damage; replace any damaged components
• Clean threads and start the nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten firmly without overtightening
• If the stud turns while tightening, hold it with an appropriate tool to protect the block

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 motor isolator is a vibration-damping grommet that cushions the motor mount to reduce noise and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Replacing worn isolators helps keep the motor seated correctly and the appliance running quieter and smoother.

• Cushions the motor to minimize vibration transfer to the chassis
• Helps reduce rattling or buzzing noises during fan/blower operation
• Supports proper motor alignment and mounting stability
• A common maintenance item when rubber mounts become cracked, hardened, or missing

• Disconnect power and allow hot components to cool before service
• Access the motor mounting points; replace isolators in matched locations
• Inspect adjacent mounts and hardware; replace additional isolators as needed
• Do not overtighten fasteners—compress the grommet evenly without deforming it

This band motor is the motor assembly that powers the appliance's moving band or drive link, restoring the mechanism that enables normal rotating or indexing motion. Use it to replace a worn or failed motor for smoother operation. What it does:

• Drives the appliance's band/drive link so the linked components can rotate or index as designed
• Restores motion when the original motor is noisy, weak, or no longer turns
• Helps stop skipping or intermittent movement caused by a failed motor
• Works as the direct replacement motor when the OEM part is specified

• One band motor assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Installation may require removing panels and fastening the motor to the band/drive; keep hardware for reassembly
• Verify alignment and secure belt or band tension per the appliance's service instructions
