What is the size of a dryer motor?

The size of a dryer motor typically ranges from 1/4 to 1/2 horsepower, depending on the model and design of the dryer. Most residential dryers use motors that are around 5 to 10 amps, which translates to a power range of approximately 600 to 1200 watts. The physical dimensions of these motors can vary, but they are generally compact enough to fit within the dryer housing.
