Genuine OEM W11511154 Dryer Drive Motor
The W11511154 is a genuine OEM dryer drum drive motor from Whirlpool, with the pulley for the drum belt included. It is the motor that turns the drum through the drive belt and also drives the blower that moves air through the dryer. When it fails or weakens, the dryer may not start, hum without turning, run loudly, stop partway through a cycle, or leave clothes damp because the drum or airflow isn't running properly.
This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the motor match what came with the dryer. It replaces several earlier Whirlpool drive motor numbers, including W11364931 and W11086656, both of which are now replaced by this number.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker, and shut off the gas supply first if it's a gas model. Following your model's service guide, remove the panels needed to reach the motor at the bottom of the cabinet. Take note of the belt routing, then release the drum belt and disconnect the motor's wiring harness. Remove the mounting hardware and take out the old motor. Install the new motor in the same position, make sure the pulley is on the shaft and aligned, and reconnect the wiring. Refit the drum belt following the original routing, replace the panels, and run the dryer to confirm the drum turns smoothly. It's a good time to check the belt and idler pulley for wear, since they affect the new motor's life.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer hums but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
It could be the motor, but a broken drum belt is a more common cause. Open the dryer and check that the belt is intact and the drum turns by hand. If the belt and idler pulley are fine and the motor hums or doesn't run, the drive motor is the likely cause.
Does it include the pulley?
Yes. The motor comes with the pulley for the drum belt.
My old motor is marked W11364931 or W11086656. Will this work?
Yes. Both numbers are on the Replaces list and have been replaced by W11511154.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent.
