Alliance Dryer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

This idler wheel and bearing assembly maintains proper tension on the drive belt so your machine runs smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn idler can eliminate squealing and help restore consistent drum or tub rotation. What it does:

• Keeps the drive belt properly tensioned for reliable operation
• Low-friction bearing supports smooth, quiet belt tracking
• Helps prevent belt slippage and premature belt wear
• Addresses symptoms such as squealing/chirping, burning rubber odor, belt coming off or fraying, or a drum/tub that won't spin or starts then stops

• Idler wheel with installed bearing

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply before servicing
• Access the belt path and tensioner; relieve belt tension to remove the old idler
• Install the new wheel/bearing assembly and ensure free rotation
• Route the belt per the model's diagram, rotate by hand to check tracking, then reassemble and test

The Idler Lever Assembly with Bearing and Wheel is an OEM replacement part for Speed Queen dryers. This assembly maintains tension on the dryer belt, ensuring it rotates the drum effectively during operation. It includes the idler lever, bearings, and wheel, which work together to support smooth and efficient drum movement.

Over time, the idler assembly can wear out due to friction, heavy use, or lack of lubrication. Bearings may seize, or the wheel can become damaged, leading to reduced tension and compromised dryer performance.

Symptoms of a bad idler lever assembly include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• Drum not turning or turning inconsistently
• Dryer belt slipping or breaking prematurely
• Increased drying times or inefficient operation

This OEM Speed Queen part is designed to restore reliable performance in compatible dryer models.

The Roller Cylinder is an OEM replacement part for Speed Queen dryers. This component supports the dryer drum and enables smooth rotation during operation, reducing friction and ensuring consistent performance. Proper functioning of the roller cylinder is essential for maintaining the balance and efficiency of the dryer drum.

Causes of a bad Roller Cylinder can include natural wear over time, exposure to heavy loads that strain the rollers, or debris accumulation that affects smooth movement. Misalignment of the drum or poor maintenance practices can also contribute to roller failure.

Symptoms of a bad Roller Cylinder include:

• A thumping or rumbling noise during operation
• The drum wobbling or not spinning smoothly
• Visible wear or damage to the roller upon inspection

This OEM Speed Queen part is also compatible with Alliance laundry equipment.

Dryers, washers, and washer dryer combos are made with an idler pulley shaft. It works in combination with the rest of the equipment in multiple ways. It switches the direction in which the output shaft is rotating. The idler pulley shaft also works to change gears and maintain the space between shafts. With time, because of excessive force, or as a result of misuse, the idler pulley shaft can wear out, break, or get damaged otherwise. When the part isn't working correctly, it has to be replaced to continue using the machine.The primary indication that there is something wrong with the idler pulley shaft is a machine that's producing excessive noises. Replacement of the idler pulley shaft is a straightforward process. It can be done in a few minutes with a nut driver and screwdrivers. Unplug the appliance before starting the disassembly.This idler pulley shaft is a genuine OEM replacement part. It is sold as an individual unit. It is made of durable metal materials. The idler pulley shaft is sourced from the manufacturer. It can be installed in various machines made by Speed Queen, Amana, and Magic Chef.
