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.
