Description

This blower housing assembly directs airflow from the dryer's drum to the exhaust, helping the appliance vent properly for efficient drying. It replaces a damaged or cracked housing to restore correct air path and reduce airflow loss. What it does:

• Guides air from the drum to the blower wheel and exhaust vent for proper drying performance
• Supports and locates the blower wheel and related seals to maintain airflow integrity
• Can reduce or stop airflow issues like poor drying or extended cycle times when cracked or broken
• May resolve abnormal noise caused by a loose or damaged housing contacting the blower wheel

What's included:

• One blower housing assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before servicing
• Access typically requires removing the dryer cabinet or back panel; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect the blower wheel and motor while replacing the housing; replace any worn components
• After installation, check for proper wheel clearance and exhaust airflow and quiet operation
