Kurt for Model Number Kenmore 700 series electric dryer I have replaced the plastic idler pulley in my dryer two times. And now for a third time, the belt has worn right through the plastic of the idler pulley again. I don't understand why it is doing that. The last time I replaced it, I also replaced the other rollers as well as the belt. I wish I could get a metal pulley but there doesn't seem to be one available. Do you have any idea why the belt eats through the plastic pulley after only 10 months?
Answer Hello Kurt. Something has to be causing the pulley to drag or the belt is not being installed properly. Make sure the unit is venting good and not filling with lint also. Try replacing the post the pulley rides on and see if it is causing the pulley to drag. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, July 14, 2015
