This idler arm, also called a belt tensioner arm, supports the idler pulley that keeps the dryer's drive belt tight so the drum rotates smoothly. Replacing a worn arm helps eliminate noise and belt tracking issues.

• Maintains proper belt tension by positioning the idler pulley against the drive belt
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, and premature belt wear
• Supports smooth, consistent drum rotation during cycles
• Typical failure symptoms include squeaking/chirping, burning rubber smell, belt coming off, or the drum not turning

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly by removing the front or lower access panel
• Release belt tension and note the belt routing; reinstall pulley and spring as removed, then re-tension the belt
• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and testing

The Idler Pulley is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. As part of the drum assembly, the idler pulley helps drive the rotation of the drying drum. It works closely with the belt and motor pulley to spin the drum and tumble clothes during the drying cycle.
