Description
The Motor Pulley is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, connects the dryer motor to the drum belt, enabling the drum to turn and efficiently dry your clothes. This pulley is crucial for the smooth operation of the dryer, ensuring that the belt is tensioned correctly and runs smoothly without slipping or causing wear.
Causes of a bad Motor Pulley include wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of lint and debris that can interfere with its operation, or a malfunctioning dryer motor that puts undue stress on the pulley.
Symptoms of a bad Motor Pulley include:
- Unusual noises coming from the dryer, such as squeaking or grinding
- The dryer drum failing to turn even though the motor is running
- The dryer taking longer than normal to dry clothes, which can occur if the pulley is not providing proper tension to the belt
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
