Description
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
What's included: One axial motor assembly Install notes:
- 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
