Samsung 6009-001342 Dryer Idler Arm Mounting Screw OEM Part

I was able to find a video on U-Tube that walked me thru the disassembly and reassembly of the dryer. The whole process only took an hour and at the same time I was able to vacuum out the inside of the unit . The part delivery was unbelievable fast which made the down time minimal

Internet search said common issue was the idle pulley bearing failure. I ordered parts blind so got a belt tension spring and the pulley. I did use the video to take it apart. My model was slightly different but as I am a mechanic by trade I figured it out. The internet was correct the idler pulley was the issue but the shaft was also damaged a little from pulley bearing not working. I was able to clean up shaft and I applied an axle grease when reassembling. I plan on ordering a new belt and idler bracket so if it does go out again parts are on hand. As a note the idler pulley is held on by a plastic triangle clip which is reusable but would order an extra if only doing the pulley. It took longer to get the dryer off the stand and put it back on stand than to do repair, 1 hour total.

Replaced drum support rollers, idler pulley assembly and belt

Had to drill out broken screw. Removed old pieces with center punch. Ran tap thru threads. installed new screw.

Pulley had damage to it. I watched the repair video and showed me exactly how my exact model is disassembled. I use a magnet for all those screws. I'd recommend having extra around. I used the time my part (original OEM parts) took to thoroughly clean the dryer. The Mounting screw is tight and easy to strip. Plyers got it easily. You need 2 people for a few minutes to help put your drum and belt back on. Other than that its a matter of minutes before you are back in the saddle again. Take pictures and video of everything and you got it made.
