Whirlpool 8547174V Genuine OEM Dryer Idler Pulley

The Dryer Idler Pulley sits between the motor and the drum of the dryer, applying tension to the drive belt. If your idler wheel no longer rotates the drum freely or produces a squeaking sound, replacing this part may resolve the issue. When replacing this component, consider Whirlpool's high-quality and easy-to-install Dryer Idler Pulley. The replacement process will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver and putty knife, some appliance disassembly, and previous repair experience. Before installing this replacement part, remember to unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Important Note: You'll need to reuse the spring from the existing pulley on the new part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend replacing the Drive Belt (item WP8547168) simultaneously during this repair.
