Crosley Dryer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

The Idler Arm Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire clothes dryers. It is a pulley assembly that helps to guide the dryer belt and keep it aligned. The idler arm assembly is typically located on the front of the dryer, near the dryer drum.

Causes for replacement include worn bushings or broken linkage from constant mechanical movement over several years.

Symptoms of a faulty idler arm assembly are:

• Dryer drum failure to rotate or revolve during the cycle
• Unusual vibrations, clunks, or knocks from within the dryer
• door during operation
• Slipping or shredding belts from lack of pulley engagement

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

The Idler Pulley Arm is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. As a connecting part, it works to route the drive belt and suspend the idler pulley. Mounted on a pivoting bracket, the durable arm positions the idler pulley to maintain proper belt tension over the lifter roll and drum.

Causes of a bad idler pulley arm can include fatigue from extended use, damage from overtightened belts, or broken welds impairing motion.

Symptoms of a bad idler pulley arm include:

• Slipping or prematurely worn drive belts
• Reduced or inconsistent drum rotation
• Grating noises or abnormal vibrations during use

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

The Roller Assembly is an OEM replacement part specific to Frigidaire-brand clothes dryers. It contains multiple smooth-rolling cylinders that guide the dryer drum assembly as it turns. 

Symptoms of a faulty dryer roller assembly include: 

• Noisy or rumbling sounds from the dryer cabinet during cycles 
• Vibrating of the dryer body instead of steady drum rotation
• Physical signs like cracked rollers or worn tracks that hold them  

Causes can be seized or corroded rollers failing to spin freely. Dented tracks prevent proper alignment. Over decades, components have worn down from continuous operation.

The part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Drum Roller Axle is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is the component that attaches to the rear panel and supports the dryer drum rollers.

Causes of a bad drum roller axle can include wear from years of operation, potentially leading to bending or wobbling that disturbs smooth drum spinning. Bearing seals may also deteriorate through continuous motion and heat exposure.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Roller Axle include:

• Vibrations or imbalanced drum rotations sensed during drying
• Premature failure of other drum or suspension components
• Reduced efficiency as uneven tumbling hinders fabric agitation
• Noises and rattling sounds from within the dryer cylinder area

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and select Kenmore models

This replacement idler pulley keeps the drive belt tight and tracking correctly so the drum can rotate smoothly. It restores quiet, consistent operation when the original pulley is worn or seized and causing belt slippage or noise.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt to enable smooth drum rotation
• Provides a low-friction surface for the belt to ride on and stay aligned
• Common symptoms of failure: squealing/chirping, belt fraying or coming off, burning rubber smell, or a drum that won't turn
• Replace if the pulley wobbles, binds, or the rim/bearing is worn

• Disconnect power; if gas, shut off the gas supply
• Note belt routing, relieve tension from the idler arm, and remove the belt from the motor pulley
• Remove the retaining hardware from the old pulley, install the new pulley on the idler arm shaft, and re-tension the belt
• Manually rotate the drum to verify smooth belt tracking before reassembly and test run

This idler assembly is the spring-loaded belt tensioner that keeps the drive belt correctly tightened. Replacing a worn or seized idler restores smooth belt tracking, reduces squeal, and helps prevent slippage or loss of drive.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt for reliable power transfer
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, or the belt coming off the pulleys
• Supports smooth rotation of the driven components
• Failure symptoms can include noise from the belt path, a frayed or derailed belt, or loss of motion

• Disconnect power and allow all moving parts to stop before servicing
• Access the belt path; relieve belt tension and remove the old idler assembly
• Install the new assembly; ensure the pulley spins freely and the belt is centered in the groove
• Manually rotate the system to verify alignment and clearances before restoring power

This rear support assembly stabilizes the appliance's rear housing and helps keep internal components aligned for smooth operation and reduced vibration. It restores proper rear-end support to prevent rubbing, noise, and uneven motion. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's rear section to maintain alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a loose or worn rear support
• Helps prevent rubbing, scraping, or grinding noises from misaligned components
• Restores proper fit between the rear housing and moving parts to promote smooth operation

• One rear support assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the appliance's rear panel or cabinet; follow OEM service manual steps
• Inspect surrounding mounting hardware and replace any worn fasteners for a secure fit

The Dryer Drum Roller Axle is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a role in the dryer's operation by offering support and an axis for the drum roller to spin smoothly. This guarantees effective and balanced tumbling of clothes throughout the drying cycle. 

Causes of a bad Dryer Drum Roller Axle can include prolonged use leading to wear and tear, accumulation of lint and debris causing additional friction, or improper loading of the dryer drum which can bend or strain the axle.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drum Roller Axle include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, during the operation
• The dryer drum struggling to turn or not turning at all
• Increased vibration or shaking of the dryer unit
• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying evenly

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