WP697772 - Whirlpool Dryer Blower Wheel

This Whirlpool Dryer Blower Wheel (WP697772) is a genuine part for Whirlpool dryers. Also known as "front load dryer blower wheel", it attaches to the drive motor shaft, pulling air over the heat source, through the clothes drum, and past the thermostats, before pushing it out the exhaust duct. The wheel, typically made from plastic, plays a critical role in your dryer's operation by ensuring proper airflow. Symptoms indicating the blower wheel may need replacement include unusual noise during operation or signs that the dryer is not drying clothes as efficiently as before. In some cases, the noise may be attributed to lint buildup, and a simple cleaning might solve the problem. However, if after cleaning the device is still noisy, a replacement is likely in order. Before starting the installation of the new blower wheel, ensure to disconnect the power supply and wear work gloves for protection. For seamless integration into your appliance, confirm that your dryer's model number matches WP697772.
