140031690047 Genuine Permanent Magnet Motor for Electrolux Group Heat Pump Clothes Dryers

Part 140031690047 is a genuine Electrolux permanent magnet motor for heat pump clothes dryers from the Electrolux group. Permanent magnet motors run from an electronic controller rather than straight off mains power, so the motor and the control electronics have to suit each other. There's no model list on file for this motor, so please check the number against your dryer's parts list using its model and PNC.

Heat pump dryer drum not turning?

In a heat pump dryer the motor turns the drum and, on many designs, the fan that moves air through the heat pump. If the motor fails, the dryer may hum or click without turning, stop after a few minutes, throw a motor error code or run with a grinding noise. Before replacing the motor, check that the drum turns freely by hand, the belt is intact and the lint filters aren't blocked, as these faults put extra load on the motor and can mimic a motor failure.

Fitting the dryer motor

Unplug the dryer at the wall before removing any panels. The motor sits low in the cabinet, so you'll usually need to take off the front or back and release the belt. Photograph the wiring plug and the belt path. Fit the new motor, refit the belt correctly over the pulleys, and run a short program to check the drum turns smoothly and quietly.

Questions about this part

Is a heat pump dryer motor different from a vented dryer motor?

Usually, yes. Heat pump dryers often use permanent magnet motors driven by an electronic controller, while many vented dryers use simpler motors. Always order by part number for your exact model and PNC.
