Genuine Electrolux group fan blade 8581328191003 is listed under the WDG60 reference, and it also carries the Australian Electrolux number 4055691580. The reference and its number family point to Electrolux laundry machines with a drying function, where a fan moves warm air through the drum. Compatible models haven't been recorded, so check the number on the old blade, or the parts list for your machine, before ordering.

Washer dryer not drying properly? Check the fan blade

In a combination washer dryer, the drying stage relies on a fan to push air across a heater and through the clothes. If the blade cracks, loses a vane or slips on the motor shaft, airflow drops even though the motor still runs. You'll notice clothes coming out damp after a full drying program, longer drying times, a rattle or scraping noise from the top or back of the machine, or the heater cutting out on its overheat protection. Lint build-up can also throw a blade off balance and wear it out early.

Fitting a new fan blade

Unplug the machine and turn off the taps. Reaching the drying fan usually means removing the top panel and the fan housing cover, so take photos as you dismantle. Clean out any lint in the housing and duct while it's open. Fit the blade firmly onto the shaft, secure it the way the old one was held, and spin it by hand to check it doesn't rub before reassembling.
