The Dryer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This motor is the heart of the dryer, responsible for turning the drum and enabling the air to circulate properly throughout the machine.
Over time, dryer motors can suffer from wear and tear due to continuous use, accumulation of lint and debris, or overload from heavy laundry loads. These factors can lead to the motor overheating, losing power, or failing to start altogether.
Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drive Motor include:
- The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
- Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing
- The dryer stopping unexpectedly during cycles
- A burning smell coming from the dryer
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
This part fixes the following symptoms- Will not tumble
- Noisy
- Shuts off too soon
