Description

This idler pulley assembly maintains proper tension on the dryer's drive belt so the drum turns smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn pulley restores reliable tumbling and helps eliminate squealing or belt slippage.

• Maintains drive belt tension between the motor and drum for consistent rotation
• Reduces friction at the belt contact point to minimize noise
• Helps prevent the belt from slipping off, overheating, or fraying
• Typical symptoms of failure: squeaking/squealing, burning-rubber smell, drum won't turn, or belt repeatedly comes off

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

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler by removing the appropriate front or rear panel per your model's service information
• Release belt tension, replace the assembly, and route the belt correctly around the motor and idler
• While open, inspect the drive belt and drum rollers and replace any worn components
