Jeff July 04, 2014 for Model Number MDG3000AWW I need to replace the belt tensioner assembly as the bushing/bearing has gone bad and ruined the pulley and spindle. It does not look like the spindle is replaceable as it is press fit onto the bracket. Is the bracket and idler available as an assembly or does one need to order the parts individually? Also, should all the wheels/pulley be lightly greased or run dry?
1 Answer Jeff, The idler pulley arm comes as the arm and shaft. The pulley would need to be ordered separately. Read More...
Leon May 18, 2012 for Model Number MDG9206AWW I need to replace the idler arm and bearing idler assembly. I cannot tell from your picture if the shaft for the idler bearing pulley/wheel is mounted as ours is ....on a riveted in pulley shaft on the short portion on the idler arm = the end opposite the one with the hook. Everything else seems appropriate but the diagram seems to show the bearing idler assembly on the hook end of the idler arm - - - not on the shorter opposite end as ours is configured. Thanks for your help with this mystery. I want to order the correct parts but cannot see the cross view of the idler arm to determine if there is a riveted on shaft for the idler bearing assembly.
1 Answer Hello Leon. Based on the information WP6-3705180 is the correct idler pulley arm. Read More...
