WPW10398274 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Down Draft Vent Drive Motor

Product Description

The WPW10398274 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Down Draft Vent Drive Motor is a high-quality replacement component designed to restore proper ventilation performance in select Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and JennAir downdraft ventilation systems. As an essential part of the downdraft vent assembly, this OEM drive motor powers the internal fan mechanism that pulls smoke, odors, grease, and steam away from your cooktop for cleaner, safer kitchen air. When your downdraft vent fails to raise, lower, or operate correctly, replacing the drive motor is often the key to restoring full functionality.

This genuine Whirlpool drive motor is manufactured to meet strict engineering and durability standards, ensuring smooth, consistent, and reliable operation. Whether your vent system is struggling to lift, producing unusual noises, or failing to activate altogether, the WPW10398274 drive motor provides the dependable performance needed to keep your ventilation system working efficiently.

Function & Importance

The drive motor is responsible for powering the blower and mechanical components that open, close, and operate the downdraft vent system. Without a properly functioning motor, the ventilation system may fail to activate, provide insufficient airflow, or stop mid-cycle—leading to poor air quality and reduced cooking comfort.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement

You may need a new downdraft vent drive motor if you experience:

• Downdraft vent not raising or lowering

• Fan failing to activate or running intermittently

• Weak or inconsistent airflow

• Loud humming, grinding, or rattling noises

• Vent getting stuck halfway during operation

• Burning smell coming from the vent motor housing

When these symptoms occur, replacing the drive motor helps restore safe, consistent, and efficient ventilation.
