The motor drive is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for powering the tumble and agitation motions inside the dryer drum. The motor drive uses electric current to precisely spin the drum at different speeds, drying wet clothes without damaging delicate fabrics. 

Symptoms of a bad motor drive include: 

• The dryer not spinning or tumbling at all
• The drum spinning unevenly or making grinding noises  
• The dryer failing to progress through cycling programs
• Clothes taking an abnormally long time to dry

Over time, motor-drives can experience wear and tear from continuous use. Electrical failures or physical damage are also potential causes of malfunction.
