Bee April 11, 2023 for Model Number Kenmore 110.68732700 My dryer just started making a horrific shrieking noise, and I think we need to replace the idler pulley. I can get it to quietly replicate the sound occasionally if i'm pushing down and rotating the wheel at the same time. My Question is: Do I need to replace the whole assembly or just the wheel?
