The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It helps guide and maintain tension on the dryer drum belt, ensuring the drum rotates smoothly during the drying cycle.
Over time, the idler pulley can wear out due to friction and regular use, or it may become damaged from excessive strain or misalignment. If the idler pulley fails, the dryer drum may not rotate properly, leading to inefficient drying or a complete inability to dry clothes.
Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:
- Squeaking or squealing noises during operation
- The drum not rotating or rotating unevenly
- The belt appearing loose or slipping off the drum
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
