• Excessive heat or a burning smell, which can occur if the pulley is seizing up and causing friction.
• Visible wear or damage to the pulley itself.

Causes of a bad idler pulley can include worn bearings, accumulation of lint and debris that impedes rotation, or material fatigue after prolonged use.
