Title
Whirlpool WED87HED Dryer Motor Testing and Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to test and replace the motor in your Whirlpool Duet WED87HED Dryer.
The motor turns the drum to tumble the laundry and drives the blower wheel to circulate air through your dryer.
If the motor fails, the dryer will not operate. Sometimes, the motor may hum but be unable to start. Since the motor is an expensive part, testing is recommended first.
This guide is rated as difficult not so much for the skill required as for the length of the guide and a few challenging steps, such as the lower front bulkhead.
