Dryer Blower Wheel

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is essential for circulating air through the dryer's drum, helping to efficiently and evenly dry clothes by moving heated air past the tumbling laundry. This component is crucial for maintaining the performance and energy efficiency of your dryer. Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include: Unusual noises, such as rattling or thumping, indicating a loose or damaged wheel. Reduced airflow, leading to longer drying times or clothes not drying completely.  Excessive vibrations during operation, which can also affect other components. Causes of a bad blower wheel can include physical damage from foreign objects hitting the wheel, wear and tear from regular use, or accumulation of lint and debris that unbalances the wheel.
