Whirlpool WP56461 Idler Pulley Shaft OEM Part

The cylinder roller that supports the dryer drum was worn and needed to be replaced. I ordered the idler pulley shaft and associated parts as well since I wasn't sure if these were worn too. Watching the video on the web site gave me a good idea what was involved and where to look. It wasn't my exact model and make but provided sufficient information on what to look for. The parts were exact fits which was a great relief abd the dryer is running like new again!

Dis-assembled the frame starting with the front panel below the door, two screws. From there you remove the front door panel and finally the top of the box, 2 screws. Work the belt off of the basin and found two rollers were out of balance. Ordered the parts online at 4:55pm(5:00pm cutoff) and selected next day shipping. Email confirmation came a few moments later and parts were here the following day by 5:00pm. Installed the rollers and attached the belt back of the basin. Total repair time approximately 90 minutes. All screws are 5/16.

Replaced cylinder rollers and just one of the shafts for said roller

I bought 5 parts and it's working great! Hubby fix it.

Replaced all the parts the were moving parts (rollers, idler pulley shafts, tension pulley assembly and drum glides. After it was replaced everything was a quite as a church mouse...just like a new dryer.
