Dryer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

This replacement pulley guides the drive belt so the drum or tub turns smoothly and reliably. A worn pulley can squeal, shred belts, or stop the load from tumbling or spinning.

• Guides the drive belt and helps transfer motor power to the drum/tub
• A seized or damaged pulley can cause the drum/tub not to turn or to stall
• Inspect for cracks, wobble, or rough bearings during diagnosis

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working on a gas dryer, also shut off the gas supply. For washers, turn off water.
• Access the belt path; release belt tension and remove the old pulley.
• Install the new pulley and route the belt correctly; rotate by hand to confirm smooth tracking.
• Inspect and replace a worn drive belt or related belt-drive components while open.

Replacement roller that helps a dishwasher rack glide smoothly along its track, restoring proper rack alignment and quieter operation. Fits where a worn or damaged wheel causes the rack to stick, wobble, or derail. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or broken rack wheel so the rack rolls smoothly on its track.
• Stops rubbing, grinding noise, and uneven movement caused by a damaged roller.
• Prevents the rack from coming off the track or tilting when loaded.
• Helps restore proper rack alignment for easier loading and unloading.

• Disconnect power and water to the appliance before starting work.
• Inspect the rack track and mounting clip; replace clips or retainers if damaged.
• Typically installs with basic hand tools (screwdriver/pliers) — match orientation to the original wheel.
• Test rack travel after installation to ensure proper seating and smooth operation.

This idler pulley shaft serves as the axle the idler pulley rides on, helping maintain proper belt alignment and tension. Replacing a worn shaft can reduce squealing, wobble, and belt wear so the drive system runs smoothly. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot/axle for the idler pulley within the belt-tensioner assembly
• Helps keep the drive belt aligned and properly tensioned
• Wear or scoring can cause pulley wobble, squeaking/squealing, or belt fraying
• Can contribute to belt slippage and intermittent loss of drive

• One idler pulley shaft

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply if applicable
• Relieve belt tension and access the idler assembly
• Note and transfer any spacers, washers, or retainers from the old shaft to the new one
• After reassembly, the pulley spins freely on the shaft and the belt tracks correctly

This drum support roller cushions and guides the dryer drum so it turns smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn roller restores stable drum rotation and reduces noise, vibration, and uneven tumbling. What it does:

• Supports the dryer drum to keep it aligned during rotation
• Reduces scraping, squeaking, or grinding noises caused by worn rollers
• Prevents excessive drum wobble that can lead to belt wear
• Helps maintain even tumbling for consistent drying

• One drum support roller

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before starting any repair
• Access usually requires removing the dryer back panel or cabinet—use basic hand tools
• Inspect drum glides, idler pulley, and belt while the dryer is open; replace other worn parts as needed

This roller support holds the dryer drum roller in place to help the drum turn smoothly and stay aligned. Replacing a worn support can reduce noise and wobble and help protect the belt and drum from uneven wear. What it does:

• Holds and positions the drum roller so the drum rotates with minimal friction
• Keeps drum alignment and belt tracking stable during operation
• Helps prevent drum wobble and uneven wear that can lead to rubbing or thumping noises
• Common symptoms: loud squealing or grinding, thumping during rotation, visible drum wobble

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or rear panel; follow the model's service manual
• Inspect the roller, axle, and adjacent support components; replace any worn parts to prevent repeat failure
• Use proper tools and secure fasteners to factory torque

This drum wheel supports the dryer drum and helps it spin smoothly so clothes tumble evenly. Replacing a worn wheel restores stable drum rotation and reduces rubbing noises or scraping. What it does:

• Supports the drum at the rear/front and allows it to roll on the axle or shaft.
• Reduces friction and prevents metal-on-metal contact that can cause squealing or grinding.
• Helps keep the drum aligned to avoid uneven wear and noisy operation.
• Common symptom fix: noisy or hard-to-turn drum, scraping or wobbling during rotation.

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before starting any repair.
• Support the drum while removing panels and the belt to avoid dropping or bending the drum.
• Inspect other rollers, bearings, and the belt for wear while replacing the wheel; replace any worn parts to prevent repeat failure.

The Tension Roller is an OEM part for Bosch dryers. This part maintains the correct tension on the drive belt to ensure smooth and efficient operation. The tension roller ensures that the belt is tightly secured around the drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly and evenly during cycles.

The need for replacement can stem from normal wear and tear over time, as the roller can become worn or damaged, affecting its ability to maintain proper tension on the belt. 

Symptoms of a failing Tension Roller include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, coming from the dryer when it is running. 
• The dryer drum not spinning correctly or at all, which can occur if the tension roller is not providing the necessary support and tension for the belt.
• Excessive vibration during operation, suggesting that the drive belt is not tensioned properly

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.

This motor drive pulley transfers power from the dryer motor to the drum belt so the drum spins smoothly. Replacing a worn pulley restores proper belt tracking and reduces noise for reliable drying performance. What it does:

• Guides and supports the drive belt so the drum turns freely
• Maintains correct belt alignment to prevent slipping or fraying
• Replaces noisy, cracked, or worn pulley surfaces that cause squealing
• Helps restore normal drum rotation when the belt skips or the drum won't turn

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid injury
• Inspect the drive belt and idler for wear; replace if damaged
• Use basic hand tools; support the drum and follow the dryer's service manual

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

This idler pulley guides and maintains tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum spins smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn pulley restores proper belt tracking and helps prevent belt wear or breakage. What it does:

• Inspect the belt and drum support for wear and replace if needed while servicing.
• Use basic hand tools.

This base shaft is the support shaft that helps the washer's tub or drum stay aligned and rotate smoothly. Replacing a worn shaft restores proper drum support and reduces noise, wobble, and uneven operation. What it does:

• Provides a stable pivot and support for the tub/drum during operation
• Transfers rotational force from the drive components to the drum assembly
• Prevents excessive wobble, vibration, and metal-on-metal contact when intact
