Symptoms of a bad idler arm assembly in a dryer include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer
• Difficulty in starting or maintaining the drum's rotation
• Potential damage to other components due to misalignment

Causes of a bad idler arm assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage from foreign objects entering the drum, or issues with the bearings or pulley components. A faulty idler arm assembly can lead to improper drum alignment, increased friction, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Drum Belt is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It plays a pivotal role in the mechanism of the dryer, connecting the motor to the drum to enable its rotation. Without a functioning belt, the dryer's drum will not turn, preventing clothes from drying properly.
