Parts for Maytag JGD8348CDP16: 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 spark module routes high-voltage pulses to a gas cooktop or range to ignite burner electrodes, restoring reliable ignition so burners light quickly and consistently. Fits as the direct replacement spark control module. What it does:

• Generates timed high-voltage sparks to burner electrodes for ignition.
• Controls spark sequencing so each burner ignites in the correct order.
• Common symptom: burners click but fail to light or spark intermittently.
• Can resolve ignition failure when electrodes and gas supply are known-good.

• One spark ignition module (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work; verify power is off.
• Handle wiring harness and connectors carefully; match connector positions during reassembly.
• Keep module and connectors dry; avoid contact with moisture or cleaning solvents.
• After installation, test each burner for proper spark and ignition; stop if gas odor is present.
