FAQ

This kit is compatible with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Amana. It is designed to fit numerous models, including common series such as MED6300TQ0, WED6200SW1, and WED6600VW0.
The idler pulley replaces OEM numbers 8547174, 1201316, AH1487714, EA1487714, PS1487714, 8547174VP, and AP3890848. The drive belt replaces OEM numbers 8547168, WP8547168, WP8547168VP, AP6013154, PS11746376, 1180091, and LB7168.
If your dryer is running but the drum is not turning, the drive belt has likely snapped. If you hear a loud squealing, thumping, or grinding noise while the dryer is in operation, the idler pulley bearing is likely failing and needs to be replaced to prevent further damage to the motor or belt.
Replacing these parts is a moderate repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will need basic hand tools, such as a screwdriver and a putty knife to release the front panel clips. Because the belt must be threaded around the drum, tension pulley, and motor pulley, having an extra set of hands can make the process significantly easier.
Since you already have the dryer opened, it is a good practice to inspect the drum support rollers and the blower wheel for signs of wear or debris buildup. Cleaning out the internal lint trap and checking the exhaust vent for blockages will also help improve the efficiency and longevity of your new belt and pulley.
