Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Longer drying times for clothes
• Unusual noises during the drying cycle
• Overheating of the dryer
• Poor airflow from the dryer vent

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
