After the drum on the dryer stopped turning (motor seemed fine), I assumed the belt broke. After taking apart the dryer, the old belt was not broken, but kind of strenched and worn. I replaced the belt, but it slips off the tension wheel as soon as I start the dryer. The wheel is wobbly, loose on its axle. Is this normal or did I put the new belt on wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
David for Model Number MDET236AYW Maytag dryer
ANSWER Hello David,
If the wheel is loose on its' axle, the idler pulley assembly 37001287 is in need of replacement.
