Description

This blower circulates air through the dryer drum and exhaust system so clothes dry efficiently and heat is vented properly. It replaces a worn or damaged blower to restore proper air flow and reduce overheating or drying issues. What it does:

• Moves heated air from the heater assembly into the drum and out the exhaust.
• Helps maintain correct airflow so loads dry evenly and cycle times stay consistent.
• A failing blower can cause poor drying, longer cycles, overheating, or unusual noise.
• Designed to work with the dryer's motor and housing to route air through the lint screen and vent.

What's included:

• One blower (single replacement unit)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid injury.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or lower access panel; support panels while removing fasteners.
• Inspect and clean lint buildup, vent hose, and housing when replacing the blower to restore airflow.
