Jersey February 16, 2022 for Model Number 1106907610 The left rear corner gets really hot can not touch. Is this ware blower is? Is there a motor on the blower How do I get to it?
1 Answer Jersey, Thanks for the question!!! The rear left would be the gas burner and duct. The rear panel comes off the back of the dryers so you can look to see what is going on. Read More...
David T February 03, 2022 for Model Number kgys777eq0 Does the blower wheel come with the threaded brass insert. I do not see a part number listed for it on the exploded views, thanks
Bill Fort February 10, 2018 for Model Number 11078432700 blower will not come off per video Its starting to strip What can do to save the wheel repaceing moter
1 Answer Bill, This blower wheel will have a reverse threading and will need to make sure that you are turning it correctly. Also try to use some penetrating oil on it to loosen it. Read More...
Tom September 05, 2017 for Model Number WED6600VW0 My dryer (Whirlpool Cabrio Steam WED6600VW0) is leaving clothes damp, and is putting up an "AF" code. To fix the airflow, I have cleaned the lint trap, replaced the duct hose from the dryer exhaust, and cleaned the house flue with an extendible brush. When I remove the duct hose while the dryer is running, I feel airflow coming out of the hose, but fairly weak. I have taken the back off the dryer and removed the blower housing. The foam seal around the housing has been worn away, and needs to be replaced. The blower wheel seems fine, and turning it turns the dryer drum as well. Since this model has the drum and the blower wheel on the same shaft, I *think* that the motor is OK. Could there still be a problem with the blower wheel, and if so, how do I check for one? Thanks!
1 Answer Tom, You will want to remove the lint filter duct and check to make sure that it is not clogged up which would cause this issue. Read More...
Tom September 04, 2017 for Model Number WED6600VW0 My Whirlpool Cabrio Steam Dryer (model WED6600VW0) has airflow problems. I have cleaned the dryer vent, replaced the hose connecting the dryer vent to the house vent, and cleaned the house vent with a vent brush. Taking off the vent hose, I felt hot air coming out, but at a very low rate, and there was also condensated water in the vent. Taking apart the dryer, the blower housing foam seal is breaking apart, but the blower wheel seems OK - turning it also makes the drum turn. I want to replace the foam seal for sure, but should I replace the blower wheel as well? I'm not sure what else can be causing bad airflow - the dryer is heating, but it is very humid inside while drying. Is there anything else that can be causing this? Thanks!
1 Answer Tom, You will want to pull the duct venting where the lint filter is and make sure that it does not have heavy lint build up in there as it sounds like it may clogged. Read More...
Kenneth July 12, 2017 for Model Number WED4800XQ4 Thermal fuse has blown 5 times. Appliance servicemen just replace it and leave. Fuse blows on startup. House vent is clean. Last time it stopped running just a little while after starting and inside was hot as hell. Is it possible blower is not coming on? If so, what starts it. I would appreciate in remedies.
1 Answer Hello Kenneth. Make sure the inside of the dryer vent is clean around the blower wheel. Also check for a grounded element causing it to stay on. Read More...
Diane June 12, 2017 for Model Number 86670100 Clothes in dryer got too hot now dryer won't come on. Can heat timer and push to start makes the buzz sound but dryer still won't come on
1 Answer Diane, You will want to test the thermal fuse on the blower housing to make sure that the fuse has continuity. If it is blown then you will want to check the venting of the unit and make sure that it is clean from the lint filter duct to the outside of your home. Read More...
Rich March 22, 2017 for Model Number 87082110 Apparently, my blower wheel is stripped, as it will spin when the motor shaft is held tightly. I can’t pull it off from the back. Do I need to break up the wheel then cut the remaining piece off the shaft when I get the motor out?
1 Answer Hello Rich. Just bust off the plastic and then you should be able to access the coupling part that screws onto the motor shaft and unscrew the coupling off the motor shaft. Read More...
Chuck October 09, 2016 for Model Number mgdc300xw1 Hello ..my dryer still makes noise. I replaced the pulleys, idler and the belt. I was wondering if it is the blower fan? It still drys very good and there is alot of airflow coming from the the vent. My older dryer by maytag had fan Y303836 that would constantly round out the inner nub, causing this type of noise (it would also take long time to dry items). However, my current dryer MGDC300XW1 has a threaded on fan(no longer a d shaft), but the noise sounds the same(like a warbling fan). I am having hard time believing it is the fan given this new design and it still drys good ....but not sure what else it could be.
1 Answer Chuck, It still could be a cracked blower wheel or something wrapped around the blower or motor shaft and "tapping" the blower housing. If there is a cracked or broken blower vane or rail the wheel will go out of round and tap, it could also be a build up of lint on a couple of vanes causing the wheel to "wobble" like an out of balanced wheel.
