Super easy to put on
October 18, 2021|JdubRN, Texarkana, Tx

If your dryer squeaks when it turns it's probably this idler pulley. One spring and bolt to replace. Super easy to do yourself even a caveman can do it.

Just what I needed
April 19, 2021|Robert, Rockville,, Maryland

A difficult part to get to because of its location, but removing the wheel from the bracket meant I only needed to replace the wheel, which was bad, and not the whole bracket, so I did not have to deal with the spring assembly.

they worked
March 14, 2021|bob27, harvard IL

Changed the drum bearings and idler pulley bracket and so far it runs well. Installation was easy as I had taken it apart twice before attempting to fix the problem. I hope I got it this time.
