Dryer Idler Pulley and Belt Tensioner Parts
A dryer idler pulley maintains tension on the drum belt as it travels around the motor and drum. This category includes wheel-only replacements, idler arms, bracketed pulley assemblies and model-specific dryer belt tensioner parts.
Use the dryer model and original part number, then compare the wheel diameter, groove, shaft or bearing design, arm shape and mounting bracket. A complete dryer idler pulley assembly may include parts that are not supplied with a wheel-only listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
The pulley is part of the tensioning system; some listings include the complete arm and bracket assembly.
Not always. Check whether the listing is wheel-only or a complete assembly.
No, dryer idler pulleys are not universal. Wheel, shaft, groove and arm geometry vary by dryer model.
Replace only the worn parts, but inspect the belt and rollers because they operate together.
