How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit. Allow time for internal components to cool.
- Listen for blower operation: Start a dry cycle and listen for the blower motor. If there is no airflow sound, proceed with inspection (after disconnecting power).
- Access blower assembly: Remove the rear or lower front panel to reach the blower housing and motor.
- Check for obstructions: Remove lint and foreign objects from the blower wheel and housing. Ensure the wheel spins freely and is firmly attached to the motor shaft.
- Inspect wiring: Verify that the blower motor connector is secure and wires are not damaged.
- Test motor: Use a multimeter to check motor winding continuity. If open or if the motor overheats and trips repeatedly, replace the dryer blower motor assembly.
