This micro switch is a compact, snap-action electrical switch that sends an on/off signal when a lever, latch, or paddle is moved. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable detection and control response for the affected function.

• Converts mechanical movement into an electrical open/close signal to the control
• Commonly used for lever/paddle actuators, latches, or interlock detection within the appliance
• Safe symptom clues: no response when actuated, intermittent operation, or a function stuck on/off
• Physical clues: weak or absent "click" when pressed, heat discoloration or damage at terminals

• Disconnect power before servicing; if the product is connected to a water line, close the supply valve
• Note wire positions and terminal labels (COM/NO/NC); transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Match the actuator orientation and mounting position to the original for proper operation
• After installation, verify continuity with a multimeter and test function before reassembly

The Idler Pulley Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It plays a critical role in the dryer's drum belt tension system, helping to maintain proper tension on the belt so the drum can rotate smoothly during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad idler pulley assembly can include wear and tear over time, buildup of lint or debris, or damage from an overloaded dryer. A malfunctioning idler pulley can lead to inefficient drying and potential damage to other dryer components.

Symptoms of a bad idler pulley assembly include:

• Squeaking or squealing noises during operation
• The drum not rotating properly or at all
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle
• The belt slipping or breaking

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Dryer Idler Pulley is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers. It is a critical component that helps guide and maintain proper tension on the dryer belt, ensuring efficient transfer of rotational force from the motor to the dryer drum.

Symptoms of a faulty dryer idler pulley include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises coming from the pulley area
• Visible wear, cracks, or damage to the pulley surface
• Slipping or irregular rotation of the dryer drum

Causes of a bad idler pulley can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures or lint buildup, misalignment or improper tracking, or physical damage from impact or foreign objects.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore dryer models.
