Idler Pulley Assembly
★★★★★
★★★★★
(31)
Part #DC93-00634A
This idler pulley assembly is sourced from the original manufacturer for use in dryers. The assembly includes the pulley wheel and bracket. It is found near the motor where it provides tension to the dryer belt, allowing it to rotate the drum during the drying cycle. Over time, the pulley wheel and its bearings can wear out leading to squeaking and grinding noises when the drum rotates. The bracket or pulley wheel can also fall out of alignment which can damage the belt and cause it to slip off. Eventually, a faulty idler pulley assembly will prevent the drum from rotating altogether. Depending on your dryer model, you may need to disassemble the dryer to access the pulley assembly. Remove the dryer belt from the idler pulley wheel and detach the assembly from the dryer frame. Position the new assembly in its place and secure it in position. Thread the belt over the pulley and around the dryer drum, ensuring that the grooved side lays flat against the drum. Manually spin the drum to check that the belt is properly tensioned and reassemble your appliance.

Debra - For model number DV331AER
November 15, 2022
replaced heating element 2 weeks ago, now will not heat again. did fine until yesterday afternoon. why has the heating element stopped working?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Debra, thank you for asking! The element usually burns out due to wear and tear and a failure to keep the ventilation clear, which puts pressure on the heating element assembly, part number PS4220205. We would recommend cleaning the vents and making sure that the blower fan, part number PS4212790, is working. Also, test the thermostat, part number PS11741821, and the high-limit thermostat, part number PS4205217, for continuity using a multimeter because they are the parts that protect the heater from damage due to overheating. Customer service is always available to help you place an order if you are having trouble doing so. Good luck with your repair.

Well it went really well until the dryer was put back together as it still didn’t heat. The dryer was taken apart again. This time the thermistors &fuse was tested. Alas, the new fuse was faulty. After putting the car lid fuse back on n, the dryer worked again

Watched a video on utube, how to repair my 16 month old steam dryer. The hardest part was laying on my belly holding the spring loaded tensioner and slipping the belt on around the blower housing. Only cost me $23. Winning!
