Hi Everyone,
Does any literature exist or does anyone know what the fan set up in an airflow (not the more common filtrator) Frigidaire dryer looks like? Is it a blade fan or a cage fan? This is the fan shroud, and unfortunately this dryer was moror-less upon arrival, but this is the motor and fan I found. If this is the correct fan, I will just have to modify the propeller shaft length, but if this had a cage fan, I’ll have to find one that fits AND modify the propeller shaft!!! Old machines are never easy! | ||

"radial" fan That housing would use a radial flow,"centrifugal" type impeller-but not "squirrel cage"-that style will plug with lint.Original fan was probably bakelite with slightly curved radial blades.A GE fan might work-fits a 1/2" shaft-but not sure if GE is correct rotation. | ||

the one I'm thinking of was used in GE dryers ~1960s-mid 90s era,some of the modern replacements of this are yellowish nylon instead of black bakelite.Looks like GE fan is correct rotation for the Frigidaire.I'll look in my spares stash to see if I have one handy to measure up. | ||

I pulled that out of a basement a few years ago. Glad it’s going to a good home! | ||
