Y303836 Whirlpool Dryer Blower Wheel

Dryer Blower Wheel.

The Blower Wheel Assembly is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool dryers, and it plays a crucial role in air circulation within the drum, facilitating the exit of air through the vent. This component is essential for moving warm air through the garments, aiding in moisture evaporation and ensuring that clothes dry efficiently and uniformly.

Whirlpool manufactures this part not only for its own appliances but also for brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, as well as for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products.

Common issues with a malfunctioning Blower Wheel Assembly may arise from debris accumulation that causes wear on the fins or a damaged hub that may detach the wheel from the motor shaft.

Signs that the Blower Wheel Assembly may be failing include:

- Noticeable noises during operation.
- Extended drying times or clothes remaining damp.
- The dryer becoming excessively hot, indicating airflow restriction.
- Reduced exhaust effectiveness.

Replacing a defective Blower Wheel Assembly is critical as it not only prevents overheating issues—which could pose fire risks—but also restores the dryer's efficiency, reducing drying times for your laundry. This replacement part is compatible with various appliance brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
