• Spins air through the appliance housing to maintain airflow for cooling or venting
• Helps prevent overheating by moving heat away from components
• Commonly linked to reduced airflow, longer cycle times, and poor temperature control when failing
• Can cause unusual noise or vibration if blades are cracked or unbalanced

• One centrifugal fan/blower wheel

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Inspect mounting hardware and seals; replace any damaged fasteners or gaskets for proper fit
• Handle the fan blades carefully to avoid bending; ensure the fan is seated and secured to the motor shaft per the OEM layout
• If noise or vibration persists after installation, re-check alignment and motor shaft for wear
