FAQ

This pulley is compatible with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Amana. It fits numerous models, including common series such as MED6300TQ0, WED6200SW1, and WED6600VW0.
This part replaces OEM number 8547174. It also cross-references with 8547174V, 8547174VP, 1201316, AH1487714, EA1487714, PS1487714, AP3890848, AP5983811, and PS11722120.
You likely need to replace the idler pulley if your dryer is making a loud squealing, thumping, or grinding noise during operation. Other signs include the drum failing to rotate, the dryer stopping mid-cycle, or a burning smell caused by the belt slipping against a seized pulley wheel.
Replacing the idler pulley is a moderate repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need a putty knife to release the top panel clips, a screwdriver (usually Phillips or Torx, depending on your specific model), and a pair of pliers to manage the belt tension spring. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged before beginning.
Yes, it is highly recommended to inspect your drive belt and drum rollers while the dryer is disassembled. Since you are already accessing the internal components, replacing a worn belt or noisy rollers at the same time can save you from having to open the unit again in the near future.
