How to replace Dryer Belt Tension Pulley Assembly. I looked at what other people where saying with similar problems and decided to change the belt, tensioner pulley, felt pads, and drum glides. They all needed changed. The belt tension pulley roller didn't turn easily as it should, the belt was starting to form cracks, etc. After repair, no more noise, I'm sure the motor didn't have to work near as hard, and clothes dried much quicker.
