Description

This idler pivot screw secures the dryer idler assembly so the belt stays properly tensioned for smooth drum rotation. It's a small but critical mounting fastener for the idler/pulley system. What it does:

• Secures the idler/pulley pivot to the dryer chassis so the tensioner can hold the drive belt.
• Restores proper belt alignment and tension when the original pivot screw is missing or worn.
• Helps stop belt slippage and related noise when the idler assembly is loose.
• Works with the idler/pulley components to allow even, stable drum rotation.

What's included:

• One idler pivot screw

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before accessing internal dryer parts.
• Basic hand tools required; retain small fasteners to avoid loss during reassembly.
• If the idler or pulley shows wear, inspect and replace the entire idler assembly rather than only the screw.
