4055984886 Genuine Dryer Motor Kit for Electrolux Clothes Dryer EDV6552, Electrolux Kit A12345501K Drum Drive Motor

For the Electrolux EDV6552 clothes dryer, 4055984886 is the genuine motor kit, also known by the Electrolux kit number A12345501K. The motor drives the drum by belt and, in most dryers, spins the fan as well. If you own a different model, read the number off your existing motor, or pass on the details from the dryer's rating plate so we can check it first. What's included in the kit beyond the motor isn't listed on our records.

Electrolux EDV6552 dryer not tumbling?

When the drum stops turning, the motor is one of the first things a technician checks. A failing motor may hum and not start, start and then cut out after a few minutes as it overheats, run with a loud squeal or grinding from dry bearings, or give off a burning smell. With the fan driven from the same motor, poor airflow and clothes that stay damp can follow. Rule out a snapped belt, a seized idler pulley and a faulty door switch before ordering.
