Description

This motor tension spring secures and maintains proper tension on the dryer motor or idler assembly so the drive belt runs smoothly, helping the drum turn reliably during operation. What it does:

• Keeps correct belt tension to prevent slipping or intermittent drum rotation
• Stabilizes the motor/drive assembly to reduce excess movement and noise
• Helps maintain alignment between motor, idler and drum for consistent performance
• Commonly replaced when the belt slips, the drum hesitates to turn, or you hear unusual squeaks from the motor area

What's included:

• One motor tension spring

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Access the motor/idler area per your model's service manual; some panels or the front may need removal
• Handle springs carefully — they can be under tension; wear eye protection and gloves
