Introduction |
| Use this guide to test and replace the motor in your Whirlpool 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. | | | ***This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers.*** This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same. |
