LG Dryer Blower Impeller (Blower Wheel) MER48344501

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Weak exhaust airflow
• Clothes taking longer to dry
• Rattling, scraping, or unusual blower noise
• Blower-wheel vibration or wobble
• Possible dryer overheating when airflow is restricted

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the blower wheel.
• With the dryer vent safely disconnected, compare the exhaust airflow during operation only if this can be done without contacting moving or energized components.
• Inspect the blower-wheel area for lint, socks, or other foreign material after power is disconnected.
• Rotate the impeller by hand with power disconnected and check for excessive wobble or looseness.
• If airflow is weak, also check the vent path for restriction before concluding that the impeller is defective.
