Dryer Not Drying? Blower Fan 2957310200 – Fix No-Airflow & Overheating Fast
If your Blomberg dryer is taking too long to dry, overheating, or shutting off on thermal overload, a failed blower fan is the most common cause. In Blomberg dryers, the blower fan draws heated air through the drum and exhausts moisture — when the fan blade cracks, seizes, or detaches from the motor shaft, airflow collapses and drying performance fails completely. ⚡ Common failure point in Blomberg-built dryers. Part 2957310200 is the genuine OEM blower fan that restores full airflow and drying performance in a direct-fit swap.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dryer powers on and drum rotates normally
- ✔ Heating element and thermal fuse test OK
- ✔ Exhaust duct is clear and unobstructed
- ✔ Drive motor runs but airflow at the exhaust vent is weak or absent
- ✔ ONLY problem is poor drying, overheating, or thermal cutout tripping

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Dryer takes multiple cycles to dry a normal load — most common complaint
- Dryer overheats and shuts off mid-cycle on thermal overload
- Weak or no airflow at the exhaust vent with drum spinning
- Burning smell from lint or debris accumulating due to no airflow
- Dryer runs but clothes remain damp after full cycle
- Rattling or grinding noise from the blower housing area
✔ If these symptoms match, the blower fan is the most likely failed component in the airflow system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the blower fan restores full drying performance immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: 2957310200
- SKU: 55763641
- Type: OEM Dryer Blower Fan Assembly — drum exhaust airflow impeller
- Replaces: OEM direct-fit blower fan — no modification required
- Brands: Blomberg
While the blower housing is open, inspect the blower housing gasket and exhaust duct connection for cracks or air leaks — a compromised seal reduces airflow even with a new fan. Clear any lint accumulation from the housing before reassembly to prevent an immediate repeat failure.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–50 minutes. Disconnect power before beginning. Access the blower fan by removing the rear or front panel depending on your model configuration; disconnect the fan from the motor shaft (typically a retaining clip or nut) and swap the fan blade assembly. Confirm the fan spins freely without wobble before reassembly and verify airflow at the exhaust vent after powering on.
💡 Pro Tip
If the blower fan spins freely by hand but airflow is still weak, the issue may be the motor shaft coupler or a worn motor rather than the fan blade itself. Confirm the fan is firmly seated and locked on the shaft before replacing — a loose fan will exhibit identical symptoms to a cracked one.
