134690800 Frigidaire Blower Wheel and Housing for Dryers

Blower Wheel and Housing for Dryers

The Frigidaire blower wheel and housing assembly is a standard OEM part designed to facilitate the movement of hot air through the dryer's drum. This essential component is usually situated close to the heating element or gas burner within the dryer's structure. It features a fan within the housing that connects to the motor shaft of the dryer. During operation, as the dryer motor runs, the blower wheel spins, pulling air in and pushing it across the heating element or gas burner, where it gets heated.

This particular part is compatible with various brands and models, including Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore products.

Common issues this part addresses include:

- Insufficient heating during the drying cycle
- Longer than normal drying times, often due to inadequate air movement
- Strange or loud sounds during dryer operation
- Uneven drying or clothes remaining damp after the cycle
- Overheating of the dryer, which may sometimes be accompanied by a burning smell
- Physical signs of damage or deterioration on the blower wheel or its housing

Replacing this part can help resolve these problems and improve the efficiency and performance of your dryer.
