Product Description

The idler pulley is found in your dryer and provides tension to the belt in order to rotate the drum. If your clothes are taking a long time to dry, the machine is noisy while operating, or the dryer will not start or tumble, there may be an issue with the idler pulley assembly. To replace this part, you will need to lift the top and remove the front panel of the dryer. You will want to take note of how the drum belt is positioned so it can be put back in place once the new idler pulley is in place. While you have the appliance opened up and accessible, you may want to consider replacing the drum belt at this time.

Hello Ed, thank you for reaching out. We recommend checking the belt, part number FIX346995, and the idler pulley assembly, part number FIX11743765, to resolve your problem. If the glides have worn out, the drum can start binding, causing the motor to not work. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Dryer drum would not tumble (rotate)
Take out dryer screen, and remove 2 retaining screws. Use putty knife to push both clips on the front corners of the top of the dryer to lift top off. The front of the dryer only has 2 retaining screws around where the clips are to remove the top. Remove those screws then lift up to disengage the hooks the front is sitting on. The dru m should hang freely. Remove old belt/idler pulley assembly. When the new belt and pulley assembly are installed (slide the new belt around the drum, through the pulley assembly and around the shaft to the motor), rotate the drum a couple times to make sure it is lined up correctly. Then reassemble the dryer.

Dryer was making a squeaking noise, changed idler pulley, but need to replace the rollers which they are no longer available. Looked on amazon and found what I needed.
Unplug dryer, pry up top of dryer, take the two Phillips head screws from the lint screen and lift the top up. Remove two screws from front panel, lift up front panel and remove. Take tension off of pulley and remove belt from pulley and motor wheel. Remove idler pulley and reinstall.

no heat,dryer belt was broken,drum wheels were replaced
Just like you showed in your instructions. But I am going to put the old idler pulley back in cause the new one makes a loud whining noise. Other than that it should be fine. The service I received from you guy's was great.This was a simple repair. Thank's again Bill

Squeeks like crazy while running
I replaced the drum rollers, belt and idler pulley, I had an 80-90% chance that it would fix the issue. The video on the website was spot on in every phase of the repair - just follow it as shown. By spending $45, I bet I'll get many more years out of this machine.
