Description

This idler pulley keeps the dryer drive belt tensioned so the drum turns smoothly, restoring normal drum rotation and reducing noise. It's a direct-fit replacement when the pulley is worn or seized. What it does:

• Maintains correct tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum spins without slipping
• Helps eliminate squealing, grinding, or rumbling noises from the dryer
• Prevents belt wear and premature belt failure due to misalignment
• Keeps the drum rotating smoothly for even drying and proper cycling

What's included:

• One idler pulley

Install notes:

• Unplug the appliance and move it to a safe, well-lit area before beginning
• High-level steps: access the dryer cabinet, release belt tension, remove old pulley, install new pulley and re-tension the belt
• Use hand tools and follow OEM torque/placement; avoid forcing parts to prevent damage
