The WW02A00226 is the complete OEM dryer motor kit for GE top-load and stackable dryers, replacing the discontinued 234D2700G002 and WW02F00521. The kit includes the motor, pulley, and mounting bracket as a matched assembly — the correct solution when the motor has seized, failed to start, or is causing excessive noise that cannot be resolved by replacing the blower wheel or belt alone. This is a direct OEM replacement for a precise fit with no modifications required.

✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages

The motor kit includes the motor body, drive pulley, and mounting bracket as a matched set. When the motor fails — whether from bearing wear, winding failure, or thermal cutout trips — replacing the complete kit ensures all components are matched and properly balanced. Inspect the blower wheel and drive belt at the same time; a seized blower wheel is a common cause of motor overload and premature failure.

• Dryer drum not turning or turning intermittently

✓ Installation Tips

• Disconnect power before beginning any disassembly.
• Remove the rear panel and top panel to access the motor assembly.
• Photograph all wire harness connections before disconnecting.
• Disconnect the blower wheel from the motor shaft before removing the motor — inspect the blower wheel hub for wear and replace if needed (see WW02F00900).
• Remove the drive belt from the motor pulley before lifting the motor out.
• Install the new motor kit and reconnect the belt, blower wheel, and all wire harnesses.
• Verify the pulley is properly seated and the belt tension is correct before reassembly.
• Run a full test cycle after installation to confirm drum rotation and airflow are restored.
