Description

This idler pulley assembly keeps the drive belt properly tensioned and aligned so your appliance runs smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn or seized idler restores reliable belt drive and helps prevent slippage, noise, and no-drive issues.

• Maintains spring-loaded tension on the drive belt
• Spins freely to reduce friction and belt wear
• Helps route and align the belt between the motor and drum/basket
• Typical symptoms of a failing idler: squealing/chirping, belt fraying or coming off, intermittent or no tumble/spin, burning rubber smell

What's included: One idler pulley assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power; for gas units, also shut off the gas supply.
• Relieve belt tension, swap the assembly, and route the belt per your unit's diagram.
• Rotate the drum/basket by hand to check alignment.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and use caution around sharp edges and spring tension.
