The function of the blower wheel is to circulate
incoming dry air through the heating system of
the dryer and into the drum. The warm moist air
is then blown outside through the vent duct.
The blower wheel is attached to the shaft of the
drive motor with a 1/2-inch hex-nut.
Blower Wheel Removal
1. Remove the two 1/4-inch hex-head screws
securing the inlet ring to the blower housing.
2. Once the inlet ring is removed, use an
adjustable wrench to stabilize the shaft of the
motor. Then remove the 1/2-inch Belleville
nut securing the blower wheel to the shaft of
the motor.
