Parts for Speed Queen SSE517QF: Motor Assy Parts

This blower housing encloses the dryer's blower wheel and routes air from the drum through the lint system to the exhaust. Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper airflow, reduces vibration, and helps resolve extended dry times.

• Encloses and supports the blower wheel while channeling intake and exhaust airflow
• Helps maintain consistent drying performance and temperature regulation
• Typical failure symptoms: longer cycles, weak vent airflow, excess lint inside the cabinet, scraping or rattling near the blower
• Visual clues: cracks, broken mounting tabs, or housing out-of-round causing wheel contact

• Disconnect power; for gas units, also shut off the gas supply
• Access from the front: remove front panel and lint duct to reach the blower assembly
• Transfer the blower wheel, gasket/seals, and mounting hardware from the original housing as needed
• Seat the housing squarely; the blower wheel spins freely and clear lint buildup before reassembly
