Description

This 1-speed dryer motor drives the drum and blower to circulate air and tumble clothes for drying. It replaces a failed motor to restore normal drum rotation and airflow in compatible dryers. What it does:

• Spins the drum and powers the blower to move air through the drum and venting.
• Starts and maintains consistent tumble speed for even drying.
• Can resolve symptoms such as no drum rotation, a humming motor, intermittent spinning, or burning/motor smell.
• Works with the dryer's clutch or idler assembly when applicable.

What's included: One 1-speed dryer motor (single unit). Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker or cord before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or back panel and disconnecting wiring harnesses; keep screws and fasteners organized.
• Inspect and replace any worn belt, idler, or clutch parts while the unit is open to prevent repeat failures.
• If you smell burning or see damaged wiring, stop and address electrical concerns before reinstalling the motor.
