Description

This motor and centrifugal switch assembly powers drum rotation and controls run/stop functions, restoring normal tumble in electric dryers. Replacing a failed unit returns reliable drum movement and helps clear symptoms of motor-related stoppages. What it does:

• Spins the dryer drum and drives the blower for proper airflow
• Uses an integrated centrifugal switch to engage and disengage motor circuits
• Commonly replaced when the dryer won't tumble, motor hums without turning, or intermittent run/stop behavior occurs
• Also used when motor overheats, trips thermal limits, or shows visible damage or burning

What's included:

• One motor and centrifugal switch assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting; this part requires working near electrical connections
• Handle the motor carefully — it may be heavy and has exposed terminals
• Inspect related components (belt, idler, blower) for wear while unit is open
