Hotpoint 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.

The Blower Wheel is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. It is responsible for circulating air during the drying cycle, directing airflow through lint and clothes to remove moisture. The plastic blades of the blower wheel push air through the dryer and out the vent when the motor is running. 

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Slow or inefficient drying times even on low moisture loads    
• Strange noises from inside the dryer cabinet      
• Excessive vibrations felt through the dryer door or cabinet
• Bent or cracked blower wheel blades

Causes can include normal wear and tear over time, accidents that damage the blades, or failures in the secure mounting of the blower wheel.

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