Whirlpool 279811 Dryer Motor Drive

The Whirlpool 279811 is a genuine drive motor that was designed specifically for Whirlpool dryers. It is an essential component that drives the drum and blower wheel in the dryer. This rotation ensures efficient tumbling of the clothes and adequate airflow throughout the drying process. The motor has two shafts: one for the drive belt, which spins the drum, and another for the blower wheel, which generates airflow to remove moisture from clothes. 1When the dryer is turned on, the motor receives electrical signals and begins to rotate, transferring power to the drum and blower wheel through the belts. This combined action efficiently tumbles and dries your clothes. A defective drive motor can address various dryer malfunctions, such as the machine not starting, not tumbling, drying unevenly.
