Possible Causes
Failed blower fan motor, Obstructed blower wheel, Loose or broken blower belt (if belt-driven), Wiring fault to fan motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the blower or fan assembly.
- Listen for fan operation: During a dry cycle, you should hear the blower running. If there is no airflow at the vent (vented models), suspect the fan.
- Access blower housing: Remove the rear panel and locate the blower housing connected to the exhaust duct. Remove screws to open the housing.
- Inspect blower wheel: Check for lint buildup, socks, or other obstructions. Ensure the wheel is firmly attached to the motor shaft and spins freely.
- Check motor wiring: Verify the blower motor connector is secure and wires are intact.
- When to replace parts: If the blower motor does not run when energized or is noisy and seized, replace the blower fan motor assembly. Replace a cracked or stripped blower wheel as needed.
