Whirlpool Dryer Blower Wheel Or Fan Blade

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is crucial for the proper circulation of hot air within the dryer drum, ensuring efficient drying of clothes by directing airflow through the drum and out the exhaust.

Common causes of a bad blower wheel include accumulated lint and debris obstructing the wheel, physical damage from foreign objects, or general wear from prolonged use. A faulty blower wheel can significantly reduce drying efficiency and may cause the dryer to overheat.

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.

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is essential in the dryer's air system, as it is responsible for moving air through the drum and out the vent. The blower wheel works by pulling air over the heating element, circulating it through the clothes, and expelling the moist air outside, which assists in the efficient drying of laundry.

Symptoms of a failing Blower Wheel include:

• Reduced airflow, resulting in clothes not drying properly or increased drying times
• Unusual noises like rattling or thumping, suggesting the wheel may be loose or damaged
• Excessive vibration of the dryer, especially if the blower wheel is unbalanced
• The dryer overheating due to restricted airflow if the wheel is clogged or malfunctioning

Causes of a bad blower wheel typically involve objects getting caught in the wheel, lint build-up that unbalances the wheel, or wear and tear that leads to the wheel's fins breaking or deforming.

This small wheel mounts to the dishwasher rack and lets it roll smoothly along the rails. Replacing a worn or broken wheel restores easy rack movement and helps prevent jams, derailments, and track damage. What it does:

• Provides rolling support so the rack glides in and out on the rails
• Helps keep the rack level and properly aligned
• Replace if the wheel is cracked, flattened, loose, or missing
• Common symptoms: rack binds or falls off track, wobbles, or makes scraping/grinding noises

• 1 wheel

• Disconnect power and water if working inside the tub; for rack-only service, remove the rack and work on a stable surface
• Remove end caps/stops and slide the rack out
• Release the old wheel from its clip/axle and install the new wheel securely
• Reinstall rack and end caps; verify smooth travel on both rails

This dryer blower wheel assembly mounts on the drive motor and spins to move air through the drum, lint filter, and exhaust. Replacing a cracked, warped, or stripped wheel restores airflow, reduces noise, and helps prevent overheating or shutdowns. What it does:

• Attaches to the motor shaft to draw and push air through the drum and exhaust duct
• Maintains proper airflow across thermostats/heater for stable temperature control
• Helps resolve weak vent airflow and extended cycle times
• Common symptoms include rattling/scraping from the blower area and motor running with little or no airflow

• 1 blower wheel assembly

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the blower housing, remove the retainer (clip/nut) as designed for your model, and extract the old wheel
• Clean lint and debris from the housing and duct before reassembly
• Seat the new wheel fully on the motor shaft and verify it spins freely with proper clearance

This replacement blower wheel restores proper airflow by moving air through the appliance's blower housing and out the exhaust. A worn or stripped wheel can cause weak ventilation, vibration, and noisy operation.

• Attaches to the motor shaft and spins to move air through the blower housing and ducting
• Maintains steady airflow for efficient appliance performance and ventilation
• Typical failure signs: reduced airflow at the exhaust, rattling/scraping noises, wobble on the shaft, or cracked/missing fins
• Helps resolve vibration from an out-of-balance or damaged wheel

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply before servicing
• Access the blower housing; remove debris and inspect seals before installation
• Transfer any reusable retainer, nut, clip, or set screw from the old wheel as required by your model
• Seat the wheel fully and secure per your model design (e.g., reverse-thread, retainer, or set screw); verify free rotation and clearance before reassembly

This blower wheel assembly moves air through the dryer to support heating and proper exhaust flow. Replacing a worn or damaged wheel restores airflow for more efficient drying and helps prevent overheating. What it does

• Spins with the motor to pull air through the drum and vent system.
• Restores restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or poor drying performance.
• Reduces unusual noise from a cracked, bent, or loose wheel.
• Helps prevent lint buildup and overheating caused by inadequate ventilation.

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning work.
• Inspect surrounding components (motor shaft, mounting, ductwork) for damage or lint buildup.
• May require removal of the front or rear access panel; keep track of fasteners and orientation.
• Use caution handling sharp sheet metal edges and dispose of lint and debris safely.

This genuine replacement wheel helps support and guide the dryer drum so it spins smoothly and quietly. Restores stable drum rotation to reduce rubbing, wobble, and noise from worn or damaged support hardware. What it does:

• Supports the dryer drum at the rear or front bearing to maintain proper alignment
• Helps the drum rotate smoothly to prevent scraping and uneven wear
• Reduces vibration and squealing caused by a worn or broken wheel
• Works with the dryer's axle/shaft and housing to stabilize drum movement

• One wheel as shown

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Remove the dryer front or rear panel per the service manual to access the wheel
• Inspect related parts (axle, bearing, clips) and replace if damaged for best results
• Use hand tools and avoid forcing parts; follow the manufacturer's instructions

This blower housing assembly replaces the blower chamber that supports the blower wheel and routes air through the dryer for proper tumbling and drying. Restores correct airflow and helps reduce overheating or poor drying performance. What it does:

• Houses and supports the blower wheel to direct airflow from the drum to the exhaust.
• Ensures proper airflow for consistent drying and venting.
• Can address symptoms like weak airflow, long dry times, or unusual blower noise when damaged or cracked.
• Works with the blower wheel and motor to maintain lint passage and exhaust flow.

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the blower housing; follow manufacturer safety procedures.
• Access may require removing the dryer front or rear panel depending on model.
• Inspect the blower wheel and motor for damage or obstructions while replacing the housing.

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is responsible for circulating air through the dryer drum and the exhaust vent, ensuring efficient drying of clothes. It helps to maintain the proper airflow, which is crucial for the drying performance and the prevention of overheating.

Over time, the blower wheel can become damaged due to debris, lint buildup, or regular wear and tear. If the blower wheel becomes obstructed or misaligned, it can significantly impact the dryer's efficiency and safety.

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Longer drying times
• Unusual noises such as thumping or rattling
• Poor airflow from the dryer vent
• The dryer overheating or shutting down unexpectedly
