Description

A small retaining nut that secures a dryer pulley in place to keep the idler or drum pulley mounted and stable. Replacing a worn or missing nut restores proper pulley alignment and helps the dryer run quietly and reliably. What it does:

• Secures the pulley to its shaft so the belt tracks correctly
• Prevents pulley wobble that can cause rubbing, squeaks or belt mis-tracking
• Helps stop excessive vibration during tumbling
• Supports normal drum rotation for even drying

What's included: One pulley retaining nut Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Requires basic hand tools (socket or nut driver) and access to the dryer cabinet
• Hold the pulley/shaft steady while tightening; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads
• Replace those parts as well for reliable operation
