Magic Chef Dryer Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

The Drum Support Roller is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a critical role in supporting and stabilizing the dryer drum as it rotates, allowing clothes to tumble evenly and dry efficiently. This support roller ensures smooth, quiet operation and helps prevent unnecessary strain on the motor and other components.

Causes of a bad Drum Support Roller can include continuous wear from regular use, overloading the dryer, which puts extra strain on the rollers, and lack of maintenance, such as not cleaning the lint and debris that can accumulate on the rollers.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Roller include:

• A thumping or rumbling noise during operation
• The dryer drum not turning smoothly or at all
• Excessive vibration of the dryer unit

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Dryer Belt Tension Pulley Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the dryer by maintaining tension on the drive belt. This tension ensures that the belt remains tight around the drum and motor pulley, allowing for smooth and effective operation of the dryer. The assembly includes a pulley wheel and the hardware necessary for installation.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Belt Tension Pulley Assembly include:

• A squeaking or screeching noise during dryer operation, which can indicate the pulley is worn or malfunctioning.
• The dryer drum failing to rotate despite the motor running, suggesting the belt may have slipped off due to insufficient tension.
• Excessive wear or damage to the dryer belt, often accelerated by a faulty pulley.

Causes of a bad tension pulley can include wear and tear from regular use, accumulation of lint and debris which can impede the pulley's movement, or a malfunctioning bearing within the pulley itself.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Drum Roller Axle is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is the component that attaches to the rear panel and supports the dryer drum rollers.

Causes of a bad drum roller axle can include wear from years of operation, potentially leading to bending or wobbling that disturbs smooth drum spinning. Bearing seals may also deteriorate through continuous motion and heat exposure.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Roller Axle include:

• Vibrations or imbalanced drum rotations sensed during drying
• Premature failure of other drum or suspension components
• Reduced efficiency as uneven tumbling hinders fabric agitation
• Noises and rattling sounds from within the dryer cylinder area

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and select Kenmore models

This replacement idler pulley keeps the drive belt tight and tracking correctly so the drum can rotate smoothly. It restores quiet, consistent operation when the original pulley is worn or seized and causing belt slippage or noise.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt to enable smooth drum rotation
• Provides a low-friction surface for the belt to ride on and stay aligned
• Common symptoms of failure: squealing/chirping, belt fraying or coming off, burning rubber smell, or a drum that won't turn
• Replace if the pulley wobbles, binds, or the rim/bearing is worn

• Disconnect power; if gas, shut off the gas supply
• Note belt routing, relieve tension from the idler arm, and remove the belt from the motor pulley
• Remove the retaining hardware from the old pulley, install the new pulley on the idler arm shaft, and re-tension the belt
• Manually rotate the drum to verify smooth belt tracking before reassembly and test run

This idler assembly is the spring-loaded belt tensioner that keeps the drive belt correctly tightened. Replacing a worn or seized idler restores smooth belt tracking, reduces squeal, and helps prevent slippage or loss of drive.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt for reliable power transfer
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, or the belt coming off the pulleys
• Supports smooth rotation of the driven components
• Failure symptoms can include noise from the belt path, a frayed or derailed belt, or loss of motion

• Disconnect power and allow all moving parts to stop before servicing
• Access the belt path; relieve belt tension and remove the old idler assembly
• Install the new assembly; ensure the pulley spins freely and the belt is centered in the groove
• Manually rotate the system to verify alignment and clearances before restoring power

This rear support assembly stabilizes the appliance's rear housing and helps keep internal components aligned for smooth operation and reduced vibration. It restores proper rear-end support to prevent rubbing, noise, and uneven motion. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's rear section to maintain alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a loose or worn rear support
• Helps prevent rubbing, scraping, or grinding noises from misaligned components
• Restores proper fit between the rear housing and moving parts to promote smooth operation

• One rear support assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the appliance's rear panel or cabinet; follow OEM service manual steps
• Inspect surrounding mounting hardware and replace any worn fasteners for a secure fit
