Description

This idler spring provides tension for the dryer belt so the drum turns smoothly and evenly. Replacing a worn spring restores proper belt tracking and reduces slipping or noisy operation. What it does:

• Maintains proper tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum rotates correctly
• Keeps the belt aligned on the idler/tensioner pulley and motor pulley
• Prevents belt slippage that can cause the drum to stop or turn intermittently
• Helps reduce squealing, grinding, or rubbing noises from the drive assembly

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

• Disconnect power to the dryer (unplug or shut off circuit) before starting work.
• Access usually requires removing the dryer front or top panel—refer to your model's service instructions.
• Inspect the belt and idler pulley for wear and replace if damaged while the unit is open.
• Use care when releasing or installing the spring—it is under tension; wear eye protection and gloves.
