Judy for Model Number DDE7500VEL Three questions. My dryer is very old and is not showing up on your site. It has an idler pulley with a built in spacer (one side is longer than the other), which is nessesary to pull it over to line the belt up. The insides of it are worn out. I can't find the right replacement. Also I got a rear bearing kit, WE25M40, which seems to fit, but is different. The old one had a clip to hold it in the back. Will it be okay? The belt was very shredded and broken as well. What is the belt part number?
Answer Judy, The parts to repair your machine will look different than the original parts, but they are the "factory direct replacement parts" recommended by the manufacturer, and will work in your older machine. The WE25M40 / WE25M40 Drum Bearing Kit, Will fit and operate properly in your machine, the retainer e clip was eliminated many years ago and isn't needed. The correct belt to order is WE12X10014 / WE12X10014 Belt. The WE12X81 / WE12X81 Idler Pulley, Is definitely different than the original idler pulley, but it will install and work on your dryer. It may take a little manipulation, but it will align and work. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, October 23, 2017
