Whirlpool Dryer Motor

The Dryer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This motor is the heart of the dryer, responsible for turning the drum and enabling the air to circulate properly throughout the machine.  

Over time, dryer motors can suffer from wear and tear due to continuous use, accumulation of lint and debris, or overload from heavy laundry loads. These factors can lead to the motor overheating, losing power, or failing to start altogether.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drive Motor include:

• The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly during cycles
• A burning smell coming from the dryer

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Dryer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This motor is responsible for turning the drum and the blower wheel, which allows for effective drying and air circulation within the dryer.

Over time, the drive motor can wear out or fail due to mechanical stress, electrical issues, or general wear from regular use. Causes of a bad drive motor include motor burnout, worn bearings, or issues with the electrical connections.

Symptoms of a bad dryer drive motor include:

• The dryer drum not spinning
• The dryer making unusual noises such as humming, buzzing, or grinding
• The dryer starting but then stopping shortly after
• A burning smell coming from the dryer

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This drive motor powers the appliance's main drive system, converting electrical energy into steady rotation under load. Replacing a weak, noisy, or seized motor restores proper movement and dependable operation. What it does

• Provides the mechanical torque that turns the appliance's drive system
• Resolves symptoms like no movement, humming/buzzing without turning, or stalling under load
• Helps eliminate intermittent starting and overheating shutdowns
• Reduces grinding/squealing motor noises caused by worn bearings or a failing armature

• One drive motor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off gas supply
• Take photos/label wires, then transfer connectors and any mounting parts from the old motor
• Ensure the motor spins freely and the belt/pulley alignment is correct before reassembly
• After installation, perform a brief test run while observing for smooth, quiet operation

This is the stirrer motor assembly that drives the metal stirrer in the microwave's waveguide. A working stirrer helps distribute microwave energy more evenly, reducing hot and cold spots for consistent heating.

• Rotates the mode stirrer to spread RF energy inside the cavity
• Symptoms of a failing motor can include uneven heating, cold spots, buzzing or grinding from the waveguide area, or the stirrer not turning
• May restore even cooking performance when the original motor is worn or seized

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; high-voltage components in microwaves can retain a dangerous charge
• Remove the grill/cover and access panel to reach the stirrer motor location
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the original part if not supplied
• Ensure the stirrer blade or coupler is correctly seated and turns freely before reassembly

This is the drive motor for a dryer. This part rotates the drum belt, which turns the drum. The drive motor also turns the blower wheel to create airflow throughout the dryer drum.A common sign that the drive motor has gone bad is that the dryer makes a humming noise. If this part is faulty, the dryer drum will not turn. Before replacing this part, check to see if there is a blown thermal fuse or if there is a faulty door switch on electric dryers. On gas dryers, check to see if there is a failed door switch. Be sure to unplug the dryer from its power source before attempting to replace this part. The drive motor is sold individually. This particular part is compatible with dryers that are manufactured by Whirlpool and Maytag. It is a genuine OEM part that is sourced from the manufacturer.

This drive motor has been manufactured by Whirlpool and is intended to replace a worn or faulty part in dryers.The drive motor enables the dryer to work as intended because it rotates the drive belt, which in turn spins the drum. Without a working motor, the drum won't rotate efficiently or at all and the materials and clothes will not be dried properly. Thus, a broken drive motor should be immediately replaced. To ensure safety when working on this appliance, make sure it has been entirely disconnected from the power source and work gloves are worn to prevent injuries from occurring.This is a genuine OEM part sourced from the manufacturer and is compatible with various dryers that have been made by Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and other brands. This part has been manufactured from high-quality, durable, non-corrosive materials to ensure the best possible quality and is only sold individually.

This split-phase motor assembly powers a dryer's drum and blower on qualifying 29" export 50Hz models, restoring rotation and airflow for normal drying performance. Designed as a direct-replacement motor assembly. What it does:

• Drives the dryer drum and blower fan to circulate air through the drum.
• Helps re-establish regular tumbling and airflow when the motor has failed.
• Commonly replaces motors that hum, do not start, or stop suddenly during cycles.

• Disconnect power before attempting service to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the motor and wiring harness carefully to avoid pinched wires or damaged terminals.

The Drive Motor is an OEM component for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. It powers the rotating drum and tumbling of clothes during drying cycles.

The drive motor may fail due to wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or damage to the motor's internal components. Regular use, exposure to lint and dust, and overheating can contribute to motor failure.

Symptoms of a bad drive motor include:

• The dryer drum not spinning
• Unusual noises such as humming or buzzing
• The dryer not starting
• The motor overheating or shutting off

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This axial motor assembly drives a cooling fan to move air through the appliance, helping protect internal components from heat. Replacing a worn or noisy unit restores ventilation and reduces heat-related shutdowns or performance issues.

• Circulates air across heat-generating parts to dissipate heat
• Helps maintain stable operating temperature and protect electronics
• Failure signs can include the fan not running, intermittent operation, loud or grinding noise, overheating, or a burning smell
• Inadequate airflow may trigger thermal cutoffs or nuisance shutdowns

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access the motor location and note wire positions; take photos for reference
• Transfer any brackets or grommets from the old unit if required; keep wiring clear of the fan path
• After mounting, hand-spin the fan to ensure free movement before restoring power and checking airflow
