General Electric Dryer Blower Wheel Or Fan Blade

The Blower Wheel is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It has a role in the air circulation within the dryer, aiding in the even and efficient drying of clothes. The blower wheel, connected to the motor, helps in expelling the moist air out of the dryer through the exhaust vent during the drying cycle.

Causes of a malfunctioning blower wheel are typically wear and tear from regular use, the accumulation of lint or debris, or damage to the wheel’s fins or central hub, which can impact its rotation and air circulation capability.

Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:

• Unusual noises during operation
• Extended drying times
• The dryer overheating
• Reduced air circulation

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This replacement blower wheel for a dryer mounts to the drive motor and pulls air through the drum, lint filter, and exhaust, restoring proper airflow so loads dry efficiently and the appliance runs as intended. What it does:

• Spins with the motor to move air through the drum, lint screen, and exhaust duct
• Maintains airflow needed for even drying and temperature control
• Wear, cracks, or a stripped hub can cause long dry times and weak vent airflow
• Damage or imbalance may produce rattling, scraping, or vibration noises from the blower area

• 1 blower wheel

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply for gas models before servicing
• Access the blower housing and remove the old wheel from the motor shaft per your model's design
• Clean lint and debris from the blower housing and exhaust duct while open
• Seat the new wheel fully and verify free rotation without rubbing before reassembly
