XPARTCO 349241T Dryer Drum Roller Set (2-Pack) The XPARTCO 349241T is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear drum support roller set compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family 29-inch dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef. The drum support rollers are cylindrical rubber-and-metal wheels mounted on shafts at the rear of the dryer cabinet that cradle and support the outer edge of the drum as it rotates. Without the rollers, the drum would drag directly on the cabinet, causing rapid wear and generating the loud thumping or squealing noise that indicates failing rollers. This set includes 2 drum rollers, 4 tri-ring retaining clips, and 2 retaining washers — everything needed for a complete rear roller replacement. Each roller measures 3-1/4"L x 1"W x 3-1/4"H and is constructed from rubber over a metal bearing hub with a plastic axle support. Both rollers must always be replaced at the same time. The set directly replaces 349241, 349241TVP, 8170, 8205, 337089, 340352, 661562, 3389901, 3397588, 3397590, AP3098345, PS347627, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum forward, and set it aside. The rear drum support rollers are mounted on shafts on the rear bulkhead — each roller is secured with a tri-ring clip and a retaining washer. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the old tri-ring clips, then slide the old rollers off the shafts. Install the new rollers, new retaining washers, and new tri-ring clips on the shafts. Reinstall the drum, re-route the belt around the motor and idler pulley, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify quiet, smooth drum operation. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What do the drum support rollers do? The rear drum support rollers are cylindrical wheels mounted on fixed shafts at the back of the dryer cabinet. As the drum rotates, its rear outer rim rests on these rollers, which carry the drum's weight and allow it to spin smoothly and quietly. When the rubber wheels wear down or the bearing hubs corrode, the drum no longer rides smoothly on the rollers — causing thumping, rumbling, or squealing noises that get progressively worse. In severe cases, worn rollers allow the drum to sag and drag against the cabinet rear panel. Why must I replace both rollers at the same time? Both rear drum support rollers carry the same load and experience the same wear through every drying cycle. When one roller fails, the other has been under the same stress for the same number of cycles and is almost certainly near the end of its useful life. Replacing only the failed roller leaves one worn roller supporting the drum unevenly, which puts extra stress on the new roller and causes it to wear out much faster. Replace both rollers at the same time to ensure even drum support and get the full service life from the new parts. Should I also replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time? Yes — this is the ideal time. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access the rear drum rollers, replacing the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) at the same time is strongly recommended. All three parts wear at similar rates, and a worn belt or idler pulley is often what caused the rollers to wear prematurely. Doing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and saves you from repeating the teardown in the near future. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three parts together. What causes dryer drum rollers to wear out? Drum rollers wear naturally over time from the continuous load of supporting the rotating drum. The most common accelerating factors are operating the dryer with a worn or broken belt (which allows the drum to sag and puts extra weight on the rollers), running very large or heavy loads frequently, and allowing lint to accumulate around the roller shafts, which causes the bearings to run dry and wear faster. Regular dryer maintenance — including cleaning lint from around the drum and periodically checking the belt — helps extend roller life. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from rubber, metal, and plastic to match the dimensions and load-bearing performance of the original 349241T drum roller set.

XPARTCO W10849499 Dryer Drum Belt The XPARTCO W10849499 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool's large-capacity dryer platform. The belt wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes around the idler tension pulley, and loops around the drive motor pulley — that belt is the only mechanical connection between the motor and the drum, so when it breaks, the console still lights up, the motor still hums, and the blower still moves air, but the drum sits completely still. Open the door and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance. This belt measures approximately 97.75 inches long. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling, the ribs glaze over and begin slipping under a heavy wet load, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. A worn or seized idler pulley is also a common root cause of premature belt failure, since a pulley that won't turn freely forces the belt to drag continuously against a stationary surface until it shreds. Squealing or chirping at startup, a rhythmic thump timed to drum rotation, fraying at the edges, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs a belt is near the end of its life. As an aftermarket replacement, the W10849499 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It directly replaces AP5989682, 4383705, PS11731121, and W10610882. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W10849499 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Whirlpool large-capacity dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer squeals, chirps, or thumps during operation. Approximately 97.75" long. Replaces AP5989682, 4383705, PS11731121, W10610882. If your belt broke due to a worn idler pulley rather than simple age, replace the pulley (PS334244) at the same time or the new belt will wear out quickly too. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open Loud squealing, chirping, or scraping noise from inside the dryer Rhythmic thumping or slapping noise timed to drum rotation — cracked or split belt Drum turns slowly, intermittently, or stalls under a heavy wet load — glazed belt slipping Clothes not drying completely, or drying taking longer than it used to Broken belt pieces or fragments found inside the drum Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This dryer drum belt directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: W10849499, W10610882, AP5989682, 4383705, AWP42591, EAP11731121, OEM17969055, PD00046442, PS11731121 W10610882 was the immediately preceding number for this same belt. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This drum belt is compatible with select large-capacity Whirlpool-built dryers across the Whirlpool family of brands, including: Whirlpool large-capacity electric and gas dryers Maytag dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana dryers (select models) Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Inglis dryers (select models) Select Kenmore and Ikea dryers built on the Whirlpool platform Verified model numbers include: YWED8500DC, YWED8000DW, YWED8500DW, 7MWGD8000E, and 7MWGD8500E. Note: Whirlpool uses several different drum belt lengths across its dryer lineup, and this one is approximately 97.75" long — different from the shorter belts used on other Whirlpool-built platforms. Belts of a similar rib profile but a different length are not interchangeable; a belt that's too long or short for your drum will slip, walk off the pulley, or fail to seat properly. Verify your model number, or measure your old belt end to end, before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool's large-capacity dryer platform Approximately 97.75" in length Wraps around the drum, idler tension pulley, and drive motor pulley to transfer motor rotation to the drum Resolves "motor runs but drum won't turn," "squealing or chirping," and "drum spins freely by hand" symptoms Direct drop-in replacement — no cutting, splicing, or modification required Replaces W10610882, AP5989682, 4383705, and PS11731121 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore large-capacity dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number W10849499 OEM Part Number W10849499 (formerly W10610882) Part Type Dryer Drum Drive Belt Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Whirlpool Large-Capacity Dryers Length Approx. 97.75 in. Routing Around drum → idler tension pulley → drive motor pulley Fuel Type Electric and gas dryers Companion Part Idler pulley PS334244 (check/replace if belt failed prematurely) Quantity 1 belt Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — A Second Person Helps Support The Drum Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. On many large-capacity models, both the front and rear panels need to come off to fully access the belt and drum, so budget extra time compared to a simpler platform. Photograph how the old belt routes around the drum, the idler pulley, and the motor pulley before removing anything. Loosen and remove the motor mount or bracket as needed to slip the old belt free, and check the idler pulley by spinning it with your fingers — if it's stiff, gritty, or doesn't spin freely, replace it at the same time, since a worn pulley is a common cause of premature belt failure and will shorten the life of the new belt. With the front panel off, the drum may need to be supported by hand as it comes free — having a second person hold the drum steady makes this significantly easier and reduces the risk of scratching the drum or dropping it. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open. Place the new belt around the drum, seat it in the polished wear track left by the old belt, then route it around the idler pulley and around the motor pulley. Reinstall the motor mount, rotate the drum by hand to confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered, then reassemble the front and rear panels. Restore power and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before loading it. Tools needed: nut driver or bit driver, open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves, and ideally a second person to support the drum. Frequently Asked Questions How do I confirm the belt is broken and not the motor? With the dryer unplugged, open the door and try to spin the drum by hand. An intact belt gives firm resistance, because you're turning the motor and idler through the belt. If the drum coasts freely like a bicycle wheel, the belt is broken or has jumped off its pulleys. Sound is the other tell: with a broken belt the motor hums and the blower whooshes normally, so the dryer sounds like it's running perfectly while the drum sits still. My belt broke and I noticed the idler pulley felt stiff. Do I need to replace that too? Yes, strongly consider it. A worn or seized idler pulley is a well-documented cause of belt failure — if the pulley can't spin freely, it drags against the belt continuously instead of rolling with it, which wears through even a brand-new belt quickly. If your old belt broke and the pulley feels stiff, gritty, or doesn't spin smoothly when you turn it by hand, replace the idler pulley (part PS334244) along with the belt to avoid repeating this repair soon. Is this the same length as your other Whirlpool dryer belt listings? Not necessarily — Whirlpool uses different belt lengths across different dryer platforms even when the rib profile looks similar. This belt is approximately 97.75" long, which is specific to the large-capacity platform it's designed for. Always check your model number or measure your old belt's total length before ordering, since a belt of the wrong length will not seat and tension correctly. Why does replacing this belt need two people? On this large-capacity platform, accessing the belt often means removing the front panel and freeing the drum, which is heavy and can be awkward to support single-handedly while also working with your other hand. A second person holding the drum steady while you route the new belt reduces the risk of the drum shifting, scratching the finish, or being dropped. It's not strictly required, but it makes the job considerably easier. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the approximately 97.75" length and rib profile of the original W10849499 / W10610882 belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and related large-capacity dryers.

To access the drum belt, remove the top panel and front panel of the dryer. Lift the drum out of the cabinet, remove the old belt, and loop the new 6602-001655 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward. Route the belt slack around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path around the pulleys. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, this is an ideal time to also inspect and replace the idler pulley and drum support rollers if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool. Frequently Asked Questions Will the 6602-001655 fit my Samsung or Kenmore dryer? This belt is compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. Use the model search above to verify your model number, or contact our support team before ordering. What does the dryer drum belt do? The drum belt wraps around the outside of the dryer drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley. As the motor spins, it drives the belt which causes the drum to rotate, tumbling your clothes through the heated air to dry them. A broken or worn belt means the drum cannot spin. How do I know if my drum belt is broken? The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor runs and you can hear it humming, but the drum does not spin. You may also hear a thumping or slapping sound if the belt is slipping or partially broken. Opening the dryer cabinet and visually inspecting the belt will confirm if it is broken, frayed, or stretched. Should I replace the idler pulley and drum rollers at the same time? Yes — since you need to disassemble the dryer to replace the belt anyway, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the idler pulley (DC93-00634A) and drum support rollers (DC97-16782A) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is made from premium neoprene rubber with polyester cord reinforcement to match the dimensions and performance of the original belt.

XPARTCO DC97-16782A Dryer Drum Roller The XPARTCO DC97-16782A is an aftermarket replacement drum support roller compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. The drum roller is a rear support wheel that cradles the dryer drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during every drying cycle. Over time, the rollers wear down, causing the drum to wobble, squeak, or thump during operation — replacing them restores quiet, stable drum rotation. This roller features a self-lubricating bushing and includes the roller shaft and mounting tri-ring clips for a complete, ready-to-install assembly. It measures approximately 3-1/4 inches in diameter and directly replaces OEM part numbers DC97-16782A, DC97-07523A, and DC97-07523B. Sold individually — most Samsung dryers use two rear drum rollers, so we recommend replacing both at the same time. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DC97-16782A Dryer Drum Roller fixes squeaking, thumping, or rumbling noises coming from Samsung and Kenmore dryers during operation. The drum roller supports the rear of the dryer drum — when worn, it causes noise and uneven drum rotation. Includes roller shaft and mounting clips. Approximately 3-1/4" diameter. Compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. Common Problems This Part Fixes Loud squeaking, thumping, or rumbling noise during dryer operation Drum wobbling or vibrating excessively during the drying cycle Grinding or scraping sound as the drum rotates Dryer making noise that gets worse over time Visible flat spots, cracks, or worn surfaces on existing drum rollers Drum not rotating smoothly or spinning unevenly Replaces Part Numbers This drum roller directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: DC97-16782A, DC97-16782C, DC97-16782D, 2027851, DC97-07523A, DC97-07523B, PD00002021, EAP4221885, AP5325135, PS4221885, WPW10177428, AP6016361, W10177428, 35001136, DC97-07523A, ASM930889, PD00003650, EAP11749648, AP6016361, PS11749648.

To access the drum rollers, remove the top panel and front panel of the dryer, then release the drum belt tension at the idler pulley and lift the drum out of the cabinet. The two rear drum rollers are located on the rear bulkhead. Remove the mounting clip, slide the old roller off the shaft, and install the new DC97-16782A roller — the shaft thread is clockwise. Reinstall the mounting clip to secure the roller. Replace both rear rollers at the same time even if only one appears worn. Reassemble the dryer, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the drum belt (6602-001655) and idler pulley (DC93-00634A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool. Frequently Asked Questions How many drum rollers does my Samsung dryer need? Most Samsung dryers have two rear drum support rollers. This listing is for a single roller. We strongly recommend replacing both rollers at the same time — even if only one appears damaged — since they wear at the same rate and replacing both prevents the need to disassemble the dryer again soon after. What does the drum roller do? The drum rollers are support wheels mounted on the rear bulkhead of the dryer. They cradle the back edge of the dryer drum and allow it to spin smoothly during operation. When the rollers wear down or develop flat spots, the drum wobbles and creates loud squeaking, thumping, or grinding noises. Does DC97-16782A replace DC97-07523A and DC97-07523B? Yes. The DC97-16782A is the updated part number that directly supersedes both DC97-07523A and DC97-07523B. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the DC97-16782A is the correct current replacement. Should I also replace the drum belt and idler pulley at the same time? Yes — since the dryer is already fully disassembled to replace the rollers, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (6602-001655) and idler pulley (DC93-00634A) at the same time. These three parts wear together and are commonly sold as a dryer repair kit, saving you from having to take the dryer apart again in the near future. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is made from durable rubber, plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original DC97-16782A roller.

Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 661570 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward toward the drum. Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific repair video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum rollers (WPW10314173) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between 661570 and 661570V? These are the same belt. 661570V is the updated OEM part number (the "V" denotes the current version) that superseded the original 661570. Both numbers refer to the identical drum belt — this aftermarket replacement is compatible with both. How does the 661570 differ from the 341241 and W10205415 belts? All three are Whirlpool-family dryer drum belts, but they differ in length, width, and rib count. The 661570 is 93-1/2" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The 341241 is 92-1/4" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 92" long x 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. They are not interchangeable — always use the part number specific to your dryer model. How do I know if my drum belt is broken? The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound, a burning rubber smell, or damp clothes after a full drying cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched out of shape. Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers? Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum support rollers (WPW10314173) at the same time. All three parts wear together and are sold together in the 4392067 dryer repair kit. Replacing all three prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is made from high-strength rubber to match the dimensions and performance of the original 661570V belt.

WP694089 Dryer Genuine OEM Blower Wheel The WP694089 is a Genuine OEM replacement dryer blower wheel compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Caloric, Hardwick, and Glenwood 29-inch dryers with a lint filter on top. The blower wheel works together with the drive motor to create the airflow that makes drying possible — it draws heated air through the heating element, pushes it into and through the drum to evaporate moisture from your clothes, and exhausts it out through the vent system. Without a properly functioning blower wheel, airflow drops, drying times increase dramatically, and the dryer may overheat. Measures 8-5/8" in diameter. Mounts on the motor's blower shaft with left-hand threads — to remove the old blower wheel, turn it clockwise (the reverse of standard threading). This blower wheel fits dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet, not the front. Common causes of failure: the internal sleeve wears out over time, allowing the wheel to wobble on the motor shaft; lint, socks, or small clothing articles escape past the lint filter and jam the wheel; or the plastic fins crack and break from age or debris impact. It directly replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785, AH383953, EA383953, and PS383953. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The WP694089 Dryer Blower Wheel fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, and Admiral 29" dryers that take too long to dry, make loud thumping/rattling/scraping noises, have weak airflow, or won't tumble. 8-5/8" diameter. Left-hand threads (turn clockwise to remove). Fits rear-mounted motor dryers with lint filter on top.

Check for trapped lint, socks, or debris before replacing — a jammed wheel may not be broken. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer takes too long to dry clothes — reduced airflow from a worn or damaged blower wheel Loud thumping, rattling, or scraping noise during operation — debris caught in the wheel or broken fins Weak or no airflow from the exhaust vent — wheel wobbling or not spinning properly Clothes still damp at the end of the cycle — inadequate air circulation Dryer overheating — restricted airflow causing heat buildup Blower wheel wobbling on the motor shaft — worn internal sleeve Sock, small garment, or lint clump jammed in the blower wheel Blower wheel fins cracked or broken from debris impact or age Dryer running but drum not turning — severely damaged wheel preventing motor from spinning Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Note: some Whirlpool dryers use a different blower wheel (such as the 697772) — verify your original part number or model number before ordering. Compatibility This blower wheel is compatible with select 29-inch dryers with a lint filter on top from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers — 29" models with lint filter on top and rear-mounted motor (WED, LER, LEQ, LE series and related) Kenmore / Sears dryers — select Whirlpool-built models (110-series) Maytag dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Jenn-Air dryers (select models) Amana dryers (select models) Magic Chef dryers (select models) Admiral dryers (select models) Roper dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Crosley, Inglis, Caloric, Hardwick, Glenwood dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) Note: This blower wheel fits dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet (not the front). If your dryer has the motor in the front, this is not the correct blower wheel. Confirm your dryer model number before ordering. Also: before replacing the blower wheel due to noise, check for trapped lint, socks, or small garments caught in the wheel — clearing the debris may resolve the noise without needing a new part. Key Features Dryer blower wheel — draws heated air through the heating element, circulates it through the drum, and exhausts it through the vent system Resolves "takes too long to dry," "loud noise," "weak airflow," "overheating," and "clothes still damp" symptoms when caused by a worn or damaged blower wheel 8-5/8" diameter — matches the original OEM dimensions Left-hand threads — mounts on the motor's blower shaft (turn clockwise to remove, counterclockwise to install) Designed for 29" Whirlpool-built dryers with lint filter on top and rear-mounted motor Replaces WP694089, WP694089VP, AP6010602, 279500, 279711, 299678, 338840, 343939, 343941, 686172, 695499, DE601, PS11743785, AH383953, EA383953, and PS383953 Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and more Genuine OEM replacement part.

For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Access the blower wheel by removing the dryer's back panel — remove the screws securing the rear panel and set it aside. Locate the blower housing at the bottom rear of the dryer, connected to the motor. The blower wheel is inside this housing, mounted on the motor's blower shaft. Remove the blower housing cover or clamp to expose the wheel. Important: the blower wheel has left-hand threads. To remove the old blower wheel, turn it clockwise (the opposite of standard threading). If the wheel is stuck on the shaft, hold the motor pulley on the other end of the shaft to prevent it from turning while you unscrew the wheel. If the old wheel's plastic hub has seized on the shaft from age, you may need to use a flat-blade screwdriver to gently pry it — some customers report the old wheel breaks apart during removal, which is fine since you're replacing it. Before installing the new wheel, clean out any lint, debris, socks, or clothing articles from the blower housing. Thread the new 694089 blower wheel onto the motor shaft counterclockwise (remember: left-hand threads — counterclockwise tightens). Tighten firmly by hand. Reassemble the blower housing, reinstall the rear panel, push the dryer back into place, and restore power. Run a test cycle and check airflow at the exhaust vent. Tools needed: Nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer is making a loud thumping or rattling noise — is the blower wheel the cause? It's one of the most common causes of dryer noise, yes. There are two main ways the blower wheel causes noise: first, lint, socks, or small clothing articles can escape past the lint filter and get caught in the wheel, where they hit the housing with each rotation — producing a rhythmic thumping or scraping sound. Second, the wheel's internal sleeve can wear out over time, allowing the wheel to wobble loosely on the motor shaft, which creates a rattling or vibrating noise. Before ordering a new wheel, check for trapped debris first — pull the back panel and inspect the blower housing. Clearing a stuck sock may solve the problem immediately. If the wheel wobbles freely on the shaft or has cracked/broken fins, it needs replacement. Why does the blower wheel have left-hand threads? The left-hand (reverse) threading is by design. The motor shaft spins in a direction that would naturally loosen a standard right-hand threaded wheel over time. By using left-hand threads, the motor's rotation actually tightens the wheel onto the shaft during operation, preventing it from working loose while the dryer runs. This means: turn clockwise to remove the old wheel (opposite of what you'd expect), and turn counterclockwise to tighten the new wheel onto the shaft. Many customers get stuck at this step because they instinctively turn counterclockwise to loosen — so if the wheel seems stuck, try turning it the other way first. My dryer takes forever to dry — is the blower wheel the issue? It can be, but check the easier things first. Long drying times are usually caused by restricted airflow, and the most common culprit is a clogged or kinked exhaust vent hose — clean the entire vent path from the dryer to the outside wall first. Also clean the lint filter and check the lint trap housing for buildup. If the vent system is clear and drying times are still long, the blower wheel is a strong candidate: a worn sleeve that lets the wheel wobble reduces its ability to move air efficiently, and cracked fins reduce airflow even if the wheel still spins. You can test by running the dryer and checking the airflow at the outside exhaust vent — weak or no airflow with a clear vent path points to the blower wheel. Does this fit dryers with the motor in the front? No — the 694089 blower wheel is designed for 29" Whirlpool-platform dryers where the motor is mounted in the rear of the cabinet. If your dryer has the motor in the front, it uses a different blower wheel. The easiest way to confirm: look at the back of the dryer — if you can see the motor and blower housing when the rear panel is removed, the motor is in the rear and this wheel fits (verify your model number too). If the motor is accessible from the front, this is not the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm. The old blower wheel is stuck on the shaft — how do I get it off? First, make sure you're turning it the right direction — this has left-hand threads, so turn clockwise to loosen (the opposite of normal). If it's truly stuck from age or corrosion: hold the motor pulley on the other end of the shaft with one hand (or use pliers wrapped in a cloth) to keep the shaft from spinning, then turn the blower wheel clockwise with the other hand. If the plastic hub has seized, a flat-blade screwdriver can help gently pry it. In many cases, an old seized blower wheel will crack and break apart during removal — that's perfectly fine since you're replacing it anyway. Just make sure all the old pieces are cleared from the blower housing before installing the new wheel. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM replacement part. It is a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, this original WP694089 blower wheel used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and related 29" dryers.
