Amana Dryer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

This idler assembly is the spring-loaded belt tensioner that keeps the drive belt correctly tightened. Replacing a worn or seized idler restores smooth belt tracking, reduces squeal, and helps prevent slippage or loss of drive.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt for reliable power transfer
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, or the belt coming off the pulleys
• Supports smooth rotation of the driven components
• Failure symptoms can include noise from the belt path, a frayed or derailed belt, or loss of motion

• Disconnect power and allow all moving parts to stop before servicing
• Access the belt path; relieve belt tension and remove the old idler assembly
• Install the new assembly; ensure the pulley spins freely and the belt is centered in the groove
• Manually rotate the system to verify alignment and clearances before restoring power

This dryer drum support roller holds the drum on its axle and lets it rotate smoothly. Replacing a worn or noisy roller restores quiet, even tumbling and helps prevent belt strain and added wear on related parts.

• Supports the dryer drum and allows low-friction rotation on the shaft
• Helps keep the drum aligned and stable during cycles
• Wear can cause squeaking, thumping, rumbling, or grinding noises
• Flat spots, cracks, or excessive wobble indicate replacement

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply for gas models
• Access the roller by removing the front or rear panel/bulkhead per model; relieve belt tension and support the drum
• Install the new roller on the existing shaft, reusing model-specific washers/clips as required
• Inspect remaining rollers, idler pulley, and belt; replace any worn parts together to maintain smooth, quiet operation

This idler pulley shaft serves as the axle the idler pulley rides on, helping maintain proper belt alignment and tension. Replacing a worn shaft can reduce squealing, wobble, and belt wear so the drive system runs smoothly. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot/axle for the idler pulley within the belt-tensioner assembly
• Helps keep the drive belt aligned and properly tensioned
• Wear or scoring can cause pulley wobble, squeaking/squealing, or belt fraying
• Can contribute to belt slippage and intermittent loss of drive

• One idler pulley shaft

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply if applicable
• Relieve belt tension and access the idler assembly
• Note and transfer any spacers, washers, or retainers from the old shaft to the new one
• After reassembly, the pulley spins freely on the shaft and the belt tracks correctly

This drum support roller cushions and guides the dryer drum so it turns smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn roller restores stable drum rotation and reduces noise, vibration, and uneven tumbling. What it does:

• Supports the dryer drum to keep it aligned during rotation
• Reduces scraping, squeaking, or grinding noises caused by worn rollers
• Prevents excessive drum wobble that can lead to belt wear
• Helps maintain even tumbling for consistent drying

• One drum support roller

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before starting any repair
• Access usually requires removing the dryer back panel or cabinet—use basic hand tools
• Inspect drum glides, idler pulley, and belt while the dryer is open; replace other worn parts as needed

This rear support assembly stabilizes the appliance's rear housing and helps keep internal components aligned for smooth operation and reduced vibration. It restores proper rear-end support to prevent rubbing, noise, and uneven motion. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's rear section to maintain alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a loose or worn rear support
• Helps prevent rubbing, scraping, or grinding noises from misaligned components
• Restores proper fit between the rear housing and moving parts to promote smooth operation

• One rear support assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the appliance's rear panel or cabinet; follow OEM service manual steps
• Inspect surrounding mounting hardware and replace any worn fasteners for a secure fit

The Whirlpool Motor Pulley is an OEM part for Whirlpool clothes dryers. It is the component located on the dryer drum motor that transmits power to spin the dryer cylinder and tumble clothes during operation. It allows the belt to grip effectively for transmission of torque from the motor.

Symptoms of a bad Motor Pulley include:

• The dryer drum failing to spin and tumble clothes during cycles
• Abnormal squealing, grinding or belt slipping noises from inside the dryer
• Minimal air flow and prolonged drying times

Causes of failure can include cracks or deterioration of the pulley edge from prolonged use, the belt wearing grooves into the pulley, or loose mounting bolts allowing wobbling.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
