Dryer Object Stack Blower Wheel Parts
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W11497304
The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is essential for circulating air through the dryer's drum, helping to efficiently and evenly dry clothes by moving heated air past the tumbling laundry. This component is crucial for maintaining the performance and energy efficiency of your dryer.
Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:
- Unusual noises, such as rattling or thumping, indicating a loose or damaged wheel.
- Reduced airflow, leading to longer drying times or clothes not drying completely.
- Excessive vibrations during operation, which can also affect other components.
Causes of a bad blower wheel can include physical damage from foreign objects hitting the wheel, wear and tear from regular use, or accumulation of lint and debris that unbalances the wheel.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Blower wheel had broken at the shaft William K. • Apopka , FL • April 04, 2014
I removed the front panel of the dryer and the metal cover over the blower wheel. Removed the lock ring and clamp. Removed the old wheel and placed the new wheel on the shaft. I thoroughly cleaned all the lint around the area and inside the front cover. I resealed the metal cover over the blower and reinstalled the front cover. Dryer works great. Easy fix, I spent more time thoroughly cleaning all the lint.

Drum stopped turning loud 60 hz hum from motor James S. • Winchester , TN • November 03, 2018
The very easy diagnosis was motor seizure. Because the machine is about a decade old, I decided to renovate most of the guts. My DIY project included replacing the motor, blower, drum bearing, belt, and door hinge. The end result is a functional dryer with no left-over parts.
Lack of parts and hardware challenged the effort. For example, the blower assembly did not have the slide capture for the motor. I had to use the old one which is showing its age. With the exception of the drum...

Clothes dryer had developed a loud squealing noise the problem turned out to be the idler pulley wheel Don F. • Bakersfield , CA • September 19, 2020
I removed the front panel of the dryer by removing 2 screws and lifting it up and out. Then I removed 4 screws from the bracket holding the tub in place.

I removed the 2 rear drum support rollers and decided to order 2 of...

Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:
- Unusual noises during operation
- Extended drying times
- The dryer overheating
- Reduced air circulation
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Squeaking dryer Robert B. • San Diego , CA • March 11, 2015
Replaced the tension pulley assembly, drum rollers, drum roller axles, belt, and drum glides while I had the dryer disassembled. It turned out that the cause of the squeak was the tension pulley assembly, however it was easy and economical enough to replace anything that could have been the cause of the squeaking while I had the dryer apart. The parts were ordered on Thursday afternoon and delivered on Friday. I had the dryer repaired and running like new in no time. For about $100, it was...
