Whirlpool manufactures appliances under various brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Before changing the motor 279787, verify if the thermal fuse is blown on electric dryers or if the door switch is malfunctioning on both gas and electric dryers.<br /><br />Imagine your dryer drum slowly spinning like it should � tumbling clothes, whisking away moisture, drying evenly. But when that electric motor inside doesn’t do its job, the belt slips, drums stall, and drying becomes a chore you start dreading. The Whirlpool 279787 Dryer Drive Motor comes in to save the day. With a threaded shaft and pulley included, this motor takes on the heavy lifting: turning the dryer belt, which in turn rotates the drum.<br><br> Whether your dryer is gas or electric, this part is essential for restoring its movement and getting it back to doing what it does best - drying efficiently. Before you swap it in, though, it’s smart to check a few things, verify that thermal fuses haven’t blown (in electric dryers) or that the door switch works properly (whether gas or electric), because sometimes the motor isn’t even the main issue. <br><br>This is a durable OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part made by Whirlpool, which means it fits machines under multiple brand names made by Whirlpool (like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, etc.). And yes � installing this motor will mean less waiting for dry clothes and fewer frustrating load-after-load failures.
