This blower moves air through your appliance to maintain proper cooling and ventilation. Replacing a worn or noisy blower restores airflow and helps protect internal components so the unit operates as designed. What it does

• Drives airflow through ducts or cooling channels to manage heat inside the appliance
• Helps expel heat and moisture or circulate cooling air, depending on the design
• Common symptoms of failure: fan won't run, weak/no airflow, loud rattling or squealing, burning smell, overheating or shutdown, or cooling/vent-related error messages

• Includes 1 blower

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot surfaces to cool
• Metal edges can be sharp—wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Note wire connections and mounting orientation; transfer any brackets or seals from the original unit if required
• After installation, confirm unobstructed airflow and correct blower orientation before fully reassembly and testing

This foam seal fits between mating parts to create a tight barrier that helps prevent leaks and rattling. Replacing a worn or missing seal restores proper sealing and helps keep your appliance running quietly. What it does:

• Creates a compliant gasket between components to limit air or moisture passage
• Helps dampen vibration and reduce rattling/buzzing where parts meet
• Helps maintain proper airflow or fluid routing as designed
• Typical symptoms include leaks, condensation/frost near a joint, or new vibration noises

• One foam seal

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply before service
• Note the original seal's routing/orientation before removal
• Clean and dry all mating surfaces; remove old foam and residue
• Install without stretching or over-compressing; ensure even contact with no gaps

• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration or rattling noises
• Replaces missing, rusted, or stripped screws discovered during service
• Matches the OEM spec for locations where this part is called out on your model's diagram
