The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, responsible for maintaining the correct tension on the drive belt, allowing it to remain tight and aligned, preventing slipping and contributing to the consistent rotation of the drum during cycles.  

Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:

• Squealing or squeaking noises  
• The dryer drum failing to turn 
• Excessive vibration or unusual sounds 

Causes of failure can range from normal wear and tear, which can lead to the pulley's bearing wearing out, to the accumulation of lint and debris causing the pulley to seize or function improperly. Additionally, a cracked or damaged pulley can lead to belt misalignment and slippage.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Fits all Whirlpool-made dryers (Whirlpool, Kenmore with prefix 110, Roper, KitchenAid, and Estate). Matching belt 341241 and rear support rollers 349241T. Whirlpool dryer repair manual 677818L.

This belt restrainer is the small guide that keeps the dryer's drive belt on the motor pulley. It prevents the belt from walking off during operation, supporting consistent drum rotation and reducing premature belt wear. What it does:

• Guides and retains the drive belt on the motor pulley
• Helps maintain proper belt tracking with the idler assembly
• Can help with symptoms like drum not turning, belt repeatedly slipping off, burning rubber smell, or frayed belt edges

• 1 belt restrainer

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the motor area per your model (remove front or lower access panel)
• Position the restrainer adjacent to the motor pulley with slight clearance to the belt; route the belt correctly around drum, idler, and motor
• Hand-rotate the drum to confirm alignment before reassembly and testing

The Dryer Belt (length 79-1/8 inches) is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This belt wraps around the drum, the motor pulley, and the idler pulley to enable the drum to rotate during the drying cycle. It ensures that clothes are tumbled and dried evenly. Also available in repair kit AP3109603

Over time, the dryer belt can become worn or snap due to the constant tension and friction it endures. When the belt fails, the drum will no longer spin, and the dryer will be unable to dry clothes effectively.

Symptoms of a bad dryer belt include:

• The dryer drum not turning
• A burning smell from the dryer
• Unusual noises during operation
• The dryer running but not tumbling clothes

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

Symptoms of a bad female dryer door catch include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting due to the door not latching properly
• Difficulty in opening or closing the dryer door
• Visible damage to the door catch

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

The Dryer Clip is an OEM component for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. It securely fastens critical ductwork attached to the dryer cabinet. Over extended periods, the constant vibrations produced during tumbling cycles cause microscopic fractures or loosening within the clip material where it grips duct joints. 

Causes relate to ordinary fatigue from long-term resonance vibrations concentrated at anchoring points.

Symptoms involve:

• Loose or detached venting/ductwork affecting airflow
• Noticeable leaks emerging at separation interfaces
• Reduced drying effectiveness due to compromised ventilation

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

• Clips onto thin sheet metal to provide captive threads where a standard nut cannot be used
• Holds screws securely to fasten panels, trim pieces, or mounting brackets
• Addresses issues like loose panels, missing/broken clips, or screws that will not tighten
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from unsecured components

• 1 U-type nut

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Position the U-nut over the panel edge with the threaded side aligned to the hole
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace any damaged or corroded hardware to ensure a secure hold
