Dryer Blower Wheels, Motors & Lint Screens

279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises. This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

This is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog. If your old motor shows a part number not listed here, contact our support team with your dryer model number and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drive motor is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers — electric and gas models across many generations (WED, WGD, LER, LGR, LEQ, LGQ series and many more) Maytag dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (MED, MGD, MEDC, MEDX series) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Jenn-Air dryers (select models) Amana dryers — select models (NED, NGD series) Magic Chef dryers (select models) Admiral dryers (select models) Norge dryers (select models) Roper dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (110-series) Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem? Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out. Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn? A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse. Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor? The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement. Does this motor come with the pulley? Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included. Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor? It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Y303836 Dryer Genuine Blower Wheel The Y303836 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM dryer blower wheel for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Jenn-Air dryers, and also fits select Admiral, Amana, Caloric, Crosley, Estate, Hardwick, and Inglis models. This squirrel-cage fan wheel attaches to the drive motor shaft, blowing air through the drum and out through the exhaust vent to carry moisture out of the dryer during each cycle. Includes a center mounting clamp, measuring approximately 7-1/2" in diameter and 3-3/8" deep. Over time, the wheel's hub can crack from wear where it clamps onto the motor shaft, or the wheel can strip and stop spinning correctly. Symptoms of a failing blower wheel include the dryer taking too long to dry clothes, not tumbling, making unusually loud noises, or not heating properly since restricted airflow affects the whole drying process. It directly replaces Y312913, 1245880, 3-12913, 3-3836, 303836, 312913, AH2200270, EA2200270, EAP2200270, K35-239, AP4294048, AWP50724, PD00002423, PS2200270.

Wear work gloves. Open the dryer door and remove the lint filter. Remove the two screws at the top of the ductwork leading to the blower wheel, then pull off the ductwork and set it aside. Working from inside the dryer, unplug the wiring harness from the fan motor. Unscrew the old blower wheel from the motor shaft with a flathead screwdriver. Before discarding the old wheel, take a moment to inspect its hub for hairline cracks, especially where it clamps onto the motor shaft — this is a common early warning sign of failure even if the wheel still spins. Align the new Y303836 onto the motor shaft and secure it with a flathead screwdriver. Reconnect the wiring harness to the fan motor. Replace the ductwork over the top of the blower wheel and secure the two screws. Reinstall the lint filter and plug the dryer back in. Test the dryer to confirm quiet, smooth airflow and normal drying performance. Tools needed: multi screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer takes too long to dry clothes. Is this the part I need? Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing blower wheel. Since this wheel is what moves air through the drum and out the exhaust vent, a stripped or cracked wheel can no longer move air effectively, leaving moisture trapped in the drum and extending drying times significantly. I'm replacing my dryer motor. Should I check the blower wheel too? Yes, it's worth a close look. One customer replacing a 30-year-old dryer's motor found cracks in the blower wheel hub where it clamps onto the motor shaft, along with rubbing marks in the blower housing — signs the wheel would have failed completely very soon on its own. Since you're already accessing this area for a motor replacement, inspecting the wheel's hub for similar cracking is a quick and worthwhile check. My dryer isn't heating properly. Could the blower wheel be involved? Yes, indirectly. A stripped or malfunctioning blower wheel that isn't spinning correctly can restrict airflow throughout the dryer, which affects the whole drying process, including how effectively heat is distributed and vented, even though the wheel itself isn't a heating component. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original fan design, dimensions, and mounting clamp of the blower wheel originally installed in your dryer.

ADQ56656401 Genuine OEM LG Dryer Lint Screen The ADQ56656401 is a genuine LG OEM lint filter screen for LG and select Kenmore Elite front-load dryers. This is the removable screen that sits in the lint trap opening at the top of the dryer, catching lint and fabric fibers out of the exhaust airflow before they can reach the vent duct. Keeping this screen intact and free of buildup is one of the most important things you can do for your dryer's performance — a torn, missing, or heavily clogged screen doesn't just slow drying, it lets more lint travel downstream into the ducting, which is a well-documented fire risk factor for dryers generally. Built with an ABS plastic frame and a stainless steel mesh screen, this filter measures approximately 11.9" x 10.9". Over time the mesh can tear, the frame can crack, or the screen can simply wear out and stop trapping lint as effectively as it should. A worn or damaged lint screen typically shows up as drying times that have crept longer than they used to, visible lint on clean clothes, or a screen that's visibly torn, bent, or missing sections of mesh. It directly replaces AP4457244, 1462822, AH3531962, EA3531962, and PS3531962.

With the dryer unplugged or off, locate the lint trap opening at the top of the dryer and pull the old lint screen straight up and out. Line up the new ADQ56656401 screen with the same opening and slide it back down into place until it seats fully and sits flush. There's no need to disconnect power for this repair, but it's good practice to do so if you're also cleaning out the trap housing itself. While the screen is out, take a moment to wipe down the inside of the lint trap housing to clear any accumulated lint before reinserting the new screen. Tools needed: none. Frequently Asked Questions My drying times have gotten longer. Is a worn lint screen really the cause? It's one of the most common and easiest-to-fix causes. A torn or heavily worn screen lets lint pass through into the ducting instead of being caught, which restricts airflow further downstream and makes the dryer work harder to move air. Combined with regularly cleaning the screen after every load, a fresh screen in good condition helps restore normal drying times. Is it actually important to replace a torn lint screen, or is it just cosmetic? It's worth replacing rather than continuing to use a damaged screen. A torn or heavily worn lint filter lets more lint travel past it into the dryer's internal ducting and exhaust path, and lint buildup in that ducting is a well-documented dryer fire risk factor. Combined with never running the dryer without a lint filter in place at all, keeping the screen in good condition is a simple, inexpensive way to reduce that risk. Do I need any tools to replace this? No. The lint screen simply lifts straight out of its slot and the new one slides straight back in — no tools, no disassembly required. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original frame dimensions, mesh material, and fit of the lint screen originally installed in your LG or Kenmore Elite dryer.

5231EL1001C Genuine OEM LG Dryer Lint Filter Screen The 5231EL1001C is a genuine LG OEM lint filter screen for LG and select Kenmore dryers, including True Steam models. Positioned inside the dryer drum, this filter captures loose lint and debris from the exhaust air as clothes tumble and dry, which is essential both for maintaining strong airflow and drying efficiency and for reducing the fire risk that comes with lint buildup inside the dryer. Constructed with a white plastic frame, a fine mesh screen, and a felt rim seal, this filter is sold individually. Over time, the screen can tear, crack, or become permanently clogged despite regular cleaning, and it can also be lost or damaged during cleaning attempts. A worn or damaged filter typically shows up as drying taking longer than it used to, clothes not drying properly, unusual smells during the cycle, or lint escaping past the screen into the vent system.

Locate the lint filter slot inside the dryer drum. Remove the old lint filter by pulling it up and out of its designated slot. Insert the new 5231EL1001C into the same slot, seating it fully so it sits flush and secure. No tools are required for this replacement. While the dryer is open, it's a good opportunity to vacuum out any accumulated lint from inside the filter housing using a vacuum hose extension, since buildup here can accumulate over the life of the dryer even with regular filter cleaning. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm normal airflow and drying performance. Frequently Asked Questions My lint filter is cracked. Do I really need to replace it right away? Yes, promptly. Not replacing a torn or damaged lint filter can allow lint to bypass the screen and build up further downstream in the dryer or venting system, which can lead to dryer damage and increases the risk of overheating or fire. This is a low-cost, simple part to replace, so it's not worth delaying once damage is noticed. How often should I clean or replace this filter? Clean the filter after every load for best performance. As a general guideline, replacing the filter every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if it becomes damaged, helps maintain proper airflow and reduces fire risk from lint buildup, even with regular cleaning between replacements. Do I need any tools to replace this filter? No. This lint filter simply lifts out of its slot and the new one presses back into place — no tools or disassembly required beyond disconnecting power to the dryer first. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original frame design, mesh screen, and seal of the lint filter originally installed in your dryer.
