For Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor (Part Number: OEM9282744)

1 Answer

Lynne, thanks for the question. It could be any of the following: the timer, the thermal fuse, the door switch, the belt switch, the push-to-start switch, or the motor. You will need to test each component to determine which may be bad.

Tae for Model Number 11060832900

After testing everything for continuity and replacing anything bad, filing all connections to clean, I’m now at the motor I have cleaned the motor with electrical spray even took apart the motor switch and cleaned those connections …still having the same issue dryer works for about 5 minutes shuts off so I know it’s a problem with the motor, I ordered one that said it was for my dryer it wasn’t …now I’m noticing that none of the motors that show compatible to my dryer have the same color wiring as the one that’s in my dryer so I wan to send pictures of my motor reference to see if maybe the issue is the wiring on the motor that was placed in it before purchasing a new one

Hello Tae, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com This motor 279827 is a redesigned replacement component for your model, the new motor will need to be wired up, the instruction sheet for that motor lists the connections as follows: Disconnect and remove the blue jumper wire that runs from the motor switch to the overload and discard that jumper. Connect the Blue wire to the overload protector that you took that jumper wire off of. Connect the Red wire to the 1/4 inch terminal marked 2 on the motor switch. Replace the 1/4 inch connectors on the Black and White wires with the 1/8 inch connectors supplied with the motor. (Don't worry if you don't seem to have a Black wire here, some models don't.) Connect the White wire to the 1/6 inch terminal marked 5 on the motor switch. Connect the Black wire, if you have one, to the 1/8 inch terminal marked 6 on the motor switch. Reconnect the ground wire and the motor should be wired up. If the wiring you have is different from that described above, please contact us at 1-877-477-7278 via call or text, or using the Chat feature on our page.

Hello Jason, if there is nothing blocking the blower wheel and the drum rollers and idler pulley turn freely, then this is considered a faulty motor and needs to be replaced.
