Locate the screws that cover the back panel at the back of the dryer drum. Remove the screws to gain access to the blower motor. Once located, remove the mounting brackets that attach the motor to the back of the dryer. Replace the old blower motor with the new, and reinstall the panels.This replacement part is sold individually by the manufacturer and is compatible with General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA, and Sears/Kenmore brand appliances.

Questions & Answers

For Ge Blower Motor Assembly (Part Number: OEM11374461)

1 Answer

Hello Bobby. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.

Corine L for Model Number whirlpool cabrio gray bought in 2009 steam dryer

My dryer started making a loud noise like a rubbing sound and kinda like bearing. Then the noise stopped after a few weeks . Dryer seemed to work as new, then one day we put a load in and tried to turn it on it just beeped and the time decreases but the drum doesn't turn. There is no noise. So we pulled it apart and replaced the belt and belt tensioner pulley because the bracket broke and the round part was not completely round. It appeared to be worn and the bearings were froze. I put it back together and now the drum still won't turn and no sound but the initial beep and it will heat though the door switch works.

Corine, You will want to check the drum rollers to ensure that they are not seized up. Seized drum rollers will cause the drum not to turn and will allow the motor and pulley to turn and cut into the belt.
