This idler pulley assembly is sourced from the original manufacturer for use in dryers. The assembly includes the pulley wheel and bracket.

Over time, the pulley wheel and its bearings can wear out leading to squ...Read moreeaking 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.

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.

I had already ordered my sensors so I just put them in. I took my time and cleaned good and it was about an hour. It could be done in 15-30 minutes easily.
