Maytag Motor

This electric drive motor rotates the dryer drum and in many models also powers the blower fan to circulate heated air through the drum. It mounts to the dryer base and connects to the drum via a belt and to the blower via a direct shaft connection. Replace it if the dryer hums but won't turn, makes loud grinding or squealing noises, or fails to start altogether.

Dryer won't start or makes squealing noise? A faulty motor assembly stops operation or causes loud grinding sounds. Moderate DIY repair restores function.

Dryer humming but not starting? This drive motor rotates the drum and blower wheel. Moderately difficult repair requires drum removal. Fix it today.

Freezer not cooling or ice maker stopped working? This evaporator fan motor restores cold air circulation when the original hums, won't spin, or fails.

Dryer won't tumble or makes loud grinding noises? This drive motor restores smooth rotation when the original is worn, seized, or burnt out.

Washer won't spin or agitate? A failed drive motor is often the cause. This motor assembly restores drum rotation and agitation for reliable washing.

Fix a laundry center that won't spin, agitate, or hums without moving. This drive motor replacement requires moderate skill and 2-3 hours to install.

The Motor-Fan is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool kitchen ranges. Located within the back wall of the oven cavity, the motor fan works to circulate air and remove excess moisture and smoke during the cooking process. Proper motor-fan functioning helps ensure efficient oven ventilation and performance.

Symptoms of a bad motor fan include:

• Excessive smoke or moisture left in the oven after cooking  
• Oven taking longer to preheat and cook due to poor air circulation
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises emanating from the fan

Causes of failure are normally wear and tear of motor windings or fan blade bearings from years of continuous use. Overheating can potentially reduce lifespan as well. 

This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Washer won't agitate or spin? This motor stator generates the magnetic field that drives the washer motor. Restores proper agitation and spin cycles.

This evaporator fan motor drives the freezer fan that circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and through the ducts. Replacing a weak or noisy motor restores proper airflow for consistent cooling and defrost performance.

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator through the freezer and fresh food compartments
• Helps maintain even temperatures and quicker recovery after door openings
• Common failure symptoms: warm refrigerator section, little/no airflow from vents, loud humming/squealing or intermittent fan operation, and frost/ice buildup on the freezer's rear panel
• Also known as the freezer fan motor or "Motor-Evap"

• Disconnect power; remove shelves/drawers and the rear interior freezer panel to access the fan
• Note wiring and mounting orientation; unplug connectors and remove the old motor
• Transfer the fan blade and any rubber isolators/mounting hardware from the original motor if needed
• Ensure blade orientation and wire routing clear the blades; test operation before reassembly

Fixes ice dispenser not dispensing or auger not turning. This motor assembly drives the auger shaft that moves ice from bin to chute. Moderate difficulty.

Fix a washer that won't spin or agitate with a new drive motor. Common causes include F7 error codes or whining noises. Moderate DIY repair with video guide.

Fixes poor ventilation and smoke removal issues in downdraft ranges. This blower motor removes heat, smoke, and odors from your kitchen by drawing air.

This is the blower motor used in the downdraft ventilation system of a range. It powers the fan that draws smoke, steam, and cooking odors down and away from the cooktop surface. Replace this motor if the downdraft vent makes unusual noises, vibrates excessively, runs intermittently, or fails to turn on at all.

If your microwave overheats or ventilation has stopped working, the fan motor likely needs replacement. Circulates air to regulate temperature.

Dryer drum not spinning or rotating slowly? This drive motor rotates the belt that spins the drum. Moderate DIY repair restores normal operation.
