Question about Whirlpool LEW0050P Electric Dryer

Blower motor does not work

On the LEW0050P, the blower motor is not working and the capacitor has melted. I'm wondering if i replace the capacitor will this resolve the situation or is there more components to investiage?

Anonymous May 08, 2008

Blower motor does not work - the dryer is only 2 1/2 years old. Don't want to spend $300+ to fix it, if it's going to happen again (and there may be more wrong than just the blower motor)!

Most likely the capacitor is all you will need to replace. However, it is impossible to be sure the motor was not damaged until after you have the capacitor replaced. Dead capacitors usually result in a lack of power, not a surge of power, so it is unusual for a dead capacitor to damage other components.

Fan not working

If you have replaced the blower motor and the blower resistor, you must have a failed blower switch. Also look for indications of overheated connectors/terminals. Blower motors draw high amperage when operation on high speed, many times melting the plastic connectors housing the spade terminals carrying the heavy current load.

The blower is not coming on?

Sounds like the blower motor needs replaced...... Although if its a matter of no heat then you can change the heating element inside the dryer fairly easily

The first thing to do is determine if the engine is reaching proper operating temperature. If the engine thermostat is defective the heater will not work at cruise speeds but will warm up at idle after a moment.

Dryer blower motor runs slow and makes loud humming noise.

It will almost certainly be the capacitor. Instead of buying the $60 part thru parts suppliers, I went to a local engine repair shop and bought one for $8.50 and installed it. It worked fine.

You can order the part from Beidlers motor repair, just as I did. Their number is (304) 263-9995
