FAQs

Common signs include a squealing, thumping, or grinding noise while the dryer is running, or the drum failing to rotate entirely. If you hear a loud screeching sound, the idler pulley bearing is likely seizing up. If the dryer runs but the drum does not turn, the belt has likely snapped, often due to the pulley failing to maintain proper tension.
This kit is compatible with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, and Roper. It is suitable for models such as WED9200SQ0, WED5600XW0, and GEW9250PW1, among many others that utilize the standard idler assembly configuration.
This kit replaces several OEM part numbers, including 661570V, 661570, 279640, and W10837240. It also cross-references with 3387372, 3388674, W10118754, W10118756, W10547287, W10547290, and W10837240VP.
Installation is a moderate repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver and a putty knife to release the clips on the front panel. It is recommended to vacuum out the interior of the dryer cabinet while you have it open, as lint buildup can contribute to premature pulley and belt wear.
While you have the dryer disassembled, it is a good practice to inspect the drum support rollers and the blower wheel. If the drum rollers are worn or the blower wheel has cracks, replacing them at the same time can save you from having to open the cabinet again in the near future.
