Dryer Fans and Blowers

This blower wheel comes with a metallic hub clamp to hold it firmly in place.

The blower wheel is a squirrel cage type wheel whose purpose is to move the air through the room or appliance. The blower wheel spins on the motor shaft to blow air through the dryer drum and out through the exhaust.

The blower wheel pulls air over the heat source, through the clothes drum, and past the thermostats, then pushes it out the exhaust duct. The blower wheel, which is usually plastic, may wear out over time. But if it's noisy, it may simply be clogged with lint. Clean the blower and test to see if the dryer is still noisy. If it is, you probably need to replace it.

This blower wheel does not come with a spring clamp, but it does have twenty fins and it is designed to fit a 3/8 of an inch motor shaft.

This wheel has a deep D-shaped shaft receptacle. The spring clamp is not included with this part.

Part may differ in appearance, but functions same as original part.

This blower wheel is a genuine OEM replacement part for your dryer. The wheel can become damaged through use of the dryer, especially if the drive motor shaft, which it is attached to, becomes damaged. This repair will require some disassembly of the dryer. Make sure to disconnect the power source and wear appropriate work gloves while conducting this repair.
