Description

This idler assembly keeps the dryer drum belt tensioned so the drum turns smoothly for efficient drying. Replaces a worn or noisy idler to restore proper belt tracking and reduce squeaks or grinding. What it does:

• Provides tension and routing for the dryer drive belt so the drum rotates correctly
• Helps prevent belt slippage, uneven tumbling, and poor drying performance
• Stops noise caused by a worn or seized idler pulley (squealing, grinding)
• Supports consistent drum alignment to reduce wear on the belt and motor

What's included: One idler assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the dryer before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools required; access typically through front or lower access panel
• Inspect the dryer belt and replace if cracked or frayed while idler is changed
