Description
The FAN is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It is responsible for circulating air throughout the washer drum during the drying cycle.
Proper air circulation is necessary to remove moisture from clothes and towels, enhancing the effectiveness of the dryer. The fan works simultaneously with the heating element to dry clothes through convection.
Symptoms of a bad fan can include:
- Clothes taking an abnormally long time to dry or remaining damp after a cycle
- Odd noises or vibrations coming from the back of the washer
- The drying cycle not activating or an "unbalanced load" error message appears
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
