Description
The Y303836 is a genuine Whirlpool/Maytag OEM dryer blower wheel that mounts to the motor shaft and pushes air through the drum and out the exhaust vent. It commonly fixes long dry times, poor airflow, and loud rumbling or scraping noises.
The Whirlpool Y303836 Dryer Blower Wheel is a factory‑engineered replacement part used in Whirlpool, Maytag, JennAir, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and many Kenmore dryers. The blower wheel is responsible for moving air through the drum and pushing it out through the exhaust system. When the wheel becomes cracked, stripped, or loose on the motor shaft, the dryer may take too long to dry, produce weak airflow, or make loud thumping, rattling, or scraping noises.
According to OEM product listings, the Y303836 blower wheel measures 7.5 inches in diameter by 3‑3/8 inches wide and includes a metal hub clamp to secure it firmly to the motor shaft. It replaces multiple part numbers including 1245880, 3‑12913, 3‑3836, 303836, 312913, Y312913, K35‑239, PS2200270, and others.
This blower wheel is accessible by removing the dryer’s front panel and is considered a moderate DIY repair. It is a common fix for dryers that are noisy, overheating, or failing to move air efficiently.
