White Westinghouse Dryer Spring Parts
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 131601000
This idler spring attaches to the idler arm to keep the drive belt properly tensioned, preventing slip and chatter. Replacing a weak or broken spring restores steady rotation and helps reduce noise and belt wear.
- Maintains correct belt tension by pulling the idler arm into position
- Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing/chirping, and premature belt wear
- A failed spring can cause no or intermittent rotation and the belt coming off
- Typical signs include a loose belt, off-track belt, or rhythmic squeak from the base
What's included: One idler spring. Installation notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; if working on a gas appliance, shut off the gas supply
- Access the idler assembly; note belt routing before removal
- Relieve belt tension, then move the idler arm to remove and replace the spring on the same mounting holes
- After reassembly, rotate by hand to verify smooth belt tracking before test
