Description

The Dryer Idler Pulley Kit sits between the motor and the drum of the dryer, applying tension to the drive belt. If the idler wheel no longer spins inside your appliance, replacing this part may resolve the issue. When replacing this component, consider using Whirlpool's high-quality dryer idler pulley replacement kit. This easy-to-install kit comes with a tri-ring and washer. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the dryer, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Recommended Part: When performing this repair, you may also want to consider replacing the Drive Belt (item #661570V). The drive belt is a very long, slender belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, goes around a tension pulley, and then loops around the drive motor pulley.
