Description

This idler spring secures and tensions the dryer drum/idler assembly to maintain proper belt alignment and drum rotation. Replacing a worn or broken idler spring restores correct tension for smooth, consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Applies tension to the idler pulley to keep the drive belt tight and aligned.
• Helps prevent the belt from slipping, dragging, or coming off the drum.
• Reduces unusual squeaks, rubbing noises, and irregular drum movement caused by a failed spring.
• Works as part of the idler/drive assembly that ensures even drum rotation.

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

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Inspect the idler pulley, belt, and mounting hardware while replacing the spring; replace any visibly damaged parts.
• Use caution when releasing or installing tensioned components to avoid pinch injuries.
