Description

This dryer drive motor assembly powers the drum and blower to rotate and move air through the dryer. Replacing a failed motor restores drum rotation so loads tumble and dry properly. What it does:

• Turns the dryer drum so clothes tumble during the cycle
• Drives the blower to circulate air through the drum and vent
• Stops operation when internal thermal overload trips to protect the motor
• Common symptoms: drum won't turn, motor hums but won't start, or dryer stops mid-cycle

What's included:

• One dryer motor assembly as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electric shock
• Access and removal typically require panel or bulkhead disassembly; follow OEM instructions
• Inspect and realign the drive belt and blower wheel when installing the motor
• Check and clear any ventilation or lint buildup before reassembly
