Description

This dryer blower cover encloses the blower wheel and seals the housing so air moves efficiently from the lint screen to the exhaust. Replacing a cracked or missing cover restores airflow for consistent drying performance and helps keep lint contained.

• Covers the blower wheel and seals the blower housing
• Directs air from the lint screen through the exhaust duct
• Helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance
• Damage or gaps may cause reduced airflow, longer dry times, vibration/noise, or lint leaking inside the cabinet

What's included: 1 blower cover Install notes:

• Unplug dryer and let components cool before servicing
• Access the blower housing; front or rear access varies by model
• Clean lint from housing and ducts; inspect the blower wheel and any gasket/seal
• Seat cover squarely and tighten fasteners evenly; verify the blower turns freely and no air leaks are present
