The Idler Arm Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, maintains tension in the dryer's belt system. This spring is crucial for the proper operation of the dryer, as it helps to keep the belt tight around the drum and motor pulley, enabling the drum to rotate smoothly during cycles.  

Causes of a bad Idler Arm Spring can include stretching or weakening over time due to constant tension, or breakage from wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad Idler Arm Spring include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or squealing 
• The dryer drum may not rotate smoothly or may stop turning altogether  
• Clothes take longer to dry, or you may notice uneven drying 
• The dryer might not start if the belt is disengaged due to insufficient tension.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This is a simple extension spring with an outside diameter of 0.38 and a slack length of 2.5. It is primarily used as an extension spring for snowblowers, but may be compatible with other lawn equipment. It’s designed to apply tension as the throttle is applied. The more gas there is, the more resistance will be present. Under most circumstances, replacement is easy. When the spring breaks or gets rusty, look at both points of attachment. Memorize where it’s attached, or take a picture, and remove the old spring using a pair of pliers if necessary. Install the new spring and the tool is ready to use. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold individually. It’s black in color and was initially designed for Troy-Bilt lawnmowers.
