FAQ

This blower wheel replaces several OEM part numbers, including 697772, WP697772, WP697772VP, W10211915, WPW10211915, W10874014, 687613, AH384381, EA384381, and PS11743811.
If your dryer is making a loud squealing, thumping, or grinding noise, or if the dryer is running but not heating properly due to restricted airflow, the blower wheel may be damaged or loose. You should also inspect the wheel if you notice excessive vibration or if the dryer is taking significantly longer than usual to dry clothes.
This blower wheel is compatible with dryers and washer-dryer combos manufactured by Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, and KitchenAid.
To replace the blower wheel, you will typically need a multi-bit screwdriver for the cabinet panels and a 1/2-inch ratchet with an extension to remove the mounting bolt. In some cases, if the old wheel is seized onto the motor shaft, a small rotary tool may be necessary to carefully cut the hub for removal.
Blower wheels are often threaded onto the motor shaft and can become seized over time due to heat and lint buildup. Remember that many of these are reverse-threaded, meaning you must turn them clockwise to loosen them. If it is stuck, apply a penetrating oil to the shaft and allow it to sit before attempting to turn it again. If it remains seized, you may need to carefully cut the plastic hub to remove it from the shaft.
Since you have the dryer open, it is the perfect time to vacuum out any accumulated lint from the blower housing and the internal cabinet. You should also inspect the dryer belt for signs of wear or cracking and check the idler pulley to ensure it still spins freely without noise.
