XPARTCO 4561EL3002A Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly The XPARTCO 4561EL3002A is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm, pulley wheel, and spring kit that presses against the drive belt to keep it under constant tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without correct belt tension, the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer tumbles clothes poorly or not at all. A worn idler pulley bearing is also one of the most common causes of squealing, squeaking, and thumping noises in LG dryers. This complete assembly includes the idler arm, pulley wheel, and idler spring. Overall dimensions are 5-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 3-7/8"H with a 2-1/4" diameter pulley wheel.

Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the LG dryer cabinet. Access the idler pulley by removing the back panel of the dryer (on most LG models) or the front panel and top panel. Take a photo of the belt routing around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release belt tension by pressing the idler arm toward the motor and sliding the belt free. Remove the idler spring from its anchor point, then unclip or unscrew the idler arm from its mounting bracket. Install the new 4561EL3002A idler assembly in the same position — hook the spring onto its anchor point first, then mount the arm. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then allow the idler arm to tension the belt. Reassemble panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models), needle-nose pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does the dryer idler pulley do? The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum surface and the motor pulley so the motor's rotation is transmitted to spin the drum. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has seized or worn out — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat without tumbling clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing noise that is the most recognizable symptom of idler pulley failure on LG dryers. What is the difference between 4561EL3002A and 4561EL3002B? These are the same LG dryer idler pulley assembly across two production revisions. The 4561EL3002B was an earlier version and the 4561EL3002A is the current part number. Both are the same functional assembly — if your dryer's parts diagram shows 4561EL3002B, the 4561EL3002A is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing. Should I also replace the drum belt and rollers at the same time? Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum support rollers (4581EL2002A). All three parts form the drum drive system and wear at similar rates. A worn roller or belt is often what caused the idler pulley to wear prematurely. Replacing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a repeat teardown in the near future. Can I just replace the pulley wheel without the arm and spring? Yes — the pulley wheel alone (without the arm and spring) is sold separately as part number APN4560EL3001A. If only the wheel bearing has failed and the arm and spring are in good condition, you can order just the wheel. However, if the arm is cracked, the spring has lost tension, or both the wheel and arm have significant wear, ordering the complete 4561EL3002A assembly is more cost-effective and ensures the entire idler system is renewed in a single repair. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 4561EL3002A idler pulley assembly.

The thermistor location varies by model — it is typically clipped to a bracket on the interior side wall of the fresh food or freezer compartment, or mounted near the evaporator coil. Consult your model's parts diagram or service manual to confirm the exact location before disassembly. Open the sensor cover or unclip the sensor bracket, disconnect the wiring connector, and pull the old thermistor out. Insert the new 2188820 thermistor, reconnect the wiring connector, and snap the cover or bracket back into place. Ensure the sensor head is positioned close to the compartment wall and the wiring is not pinched. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator temperature over the next few hours to confirm stable, accurate cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access on some models); no tools needed for sensor replacement itself. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between 2188820 and WP2188820? These are the same thermistor. WP2188820 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 2188820. The 2213442 is also a cross-reference for the same part. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers. What does an NTC thermistor do and how do I know if mine has failed? An NTC thermistor is a resistor whose resistance decreases as temperature increases. The control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resulting resistance — a lower resistance means warmer temperature, and a higher resistance means cooler temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans. A failed thermistor either reads open circuit (no continuity), short circuit (zero resistance), or provides incorrect readings that cause the refrigerator to run too warm, too cold, or cycle erratically. Test with a multimeter at room temperature — a working 2188820 should read approximately 50K ohms at 25°C (77°F). Significant deviation indicates failure. How do I know if my refrigerator uses the WISE system? The WISE (Whirlpool Intelligent Smart Energy) system was introduced on newer Whirlpool refrigerator models and uses a different thermistor specification that is not interchangeable with the 2188820. Models that use the WISE system are typically marked in the product documentation or on the control board. The easiest way to confirm compatibility is to verify your model number with our support team before ordering, or check whether WP2188820 appears in your model's official parts diagram. If your parts diagram lists WP2188820, this replacement is compatible. Where is the thermistor located in my refrigerator? The thermistor location varies by model and brand. On Whirlpool and KitchenAid models, it is commonly found on the interior side wall of the fresh food compartment clipped to a plastic housing. On some models it is located near the evaporator coil behind the freezer back panel. On Kenmore 106 series models, it may be on the fresh food section wall or inside the back panel. Consult your specific model's parts diagram or search for a model-specific installation video to locate the sensor before disassembling the refrigerator. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured with an NTC thermistor rated to the same 50K ohm specification as the original WP2188820 to match the performance and accuracy of the factory sensor.

XPARTCO 279640 Dryer Idler Pulley The XPARTCO 279640 is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley (also called a belt tension pulley wheel) compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral. The idler pulley is spring-tensioned against the drive belt to maintain correct tension as the belt wraps around the drum — allowing the drum to rotate smoothly and quietly. When the idler pulley bearing wears out, the belt loses proper tension and the dryer begins making squealing, squeaking, or clunking noises, and the drum may eventually stop spinning. This pulley is constructed from sturdy plastic with a metal bearing and measures 1-7/8" L x 3/4" W x 1-7/8" H. The kit includes the greased pulley wheel, washer, and tri-ring retaining clip — everything needed for a complete replacement. It mounts directly to the existing idler arm on compatible models. Note: this is the pulley wheel only, not the full idler arm assembly. On some newer Whirlpool models, the complete W10837240 idler pulley arm assembly may be required instead. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279640 Dryer Idler Pulley fixes Whirlpool-family dryers that are squealing, squeaking, clunking, or have a drum that won't spin due to improper belt tension. Plastic body with metal bearing. 1-7/8" L x 3/4" W x 1-7/8" H. Kit includes pulley, washer, and tri-ring clip. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral dryers. Pulley only — not the full arm assembly. Common Problems This Part Fixes Loud squealing or squeaking noise when dryer is running Clunking or thumping sound during the drying cycle Dryer drum not spinning — belt slips or loses tension when pulley bearing fails Belt repeatedly slipping off due to improper tension Dryer drum spinning intermittently and stopping while the motor continues to run Excessive vibration or shaking during the drying cycle Visible wear, cracking, flat spots, or a pulley wheel that no longer spins freely on its shaft Replaces Part Numbers This idler pulley directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 279640, 279640VP, 2958, 3388672, 697692, TJ279640, W10468057, AH334244, EA334244, ER279640, AWP39098, PD00002356, EAP334244, AP3094197, PS334244. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This idler pulley is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers (gas and electric) Kenmore / Sears dryers (select Whirlpool-built models) Maytag dryers (gas and electric) KitchenAid dryers Amana dryers Crosley dryers Inglis dryers Admiral dryers Important: The 279640 is a pulley wheel only — it mounts to the existing idler arm on compatible models. Some newer Whirlpool-family dryers (particularly models with the lint screen inside the door) require the complete W10837240 idler pulley arm and bracket assembly instead. If your model calls for W10837240, order that part rather than the 279640 pulley alone.

Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum and drive components. Release belt tension from the idler pulley, then lift the drum and slide the belt off. Remove the tri-ring retaining clip from the idler arm shaft using needle-nose pliers, then slide the old pulley wheel off the shaft. Slide the new 279640 pulley wheel onto the idler arm shaft, reinstall the washer, and press the new tri-ring clip onto the shaft to secure the pulley. Re-route the drum belt around the new pulley and motor pulley, reinstall the drum, and reassemble the dryer. Run a test cycle to verify quiet operation. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife, small flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the 279640 pulley and the W10837240 idler assembly? The 279640 is just the pulley wheel — it replaces only the wheel on the existing idler arm and is used on older Whirlpool-family dryer models. The W10837240 is a complete idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family models (particularly those with the lint screen inside the door). If your dryer originally used the 279640, order this part. If your parts diagram calls for W10837240, order that assembly instead — the 279640 pulley alone will not fit the newer arm design. What does the idler pulley do? The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on the idler arm inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to keep the correct amount of tension on the belt as it wraps around the drum. Without proper tension, the belt slips, the drum spins unevenly, or the drum stops spinning entirely. A worn pulley bearing also causes squealing, squeaking, or clunking noises during operation. Should I replace the drum belt at the same time? Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, this is the ideal time to inspect and replace the drum belt (341241 or 661570V depending on your model). The belt and idler pulley wear at similar rates, and a worn belt on a new pulley significantly shortens the life of the new part. Replacing both together in a single repair also saves you from having to disassemble the dryer again shortly after. Why is my dryer squealing? A high-pitched squeal when the dryer starts or runs is one of the most common signs of a worn idler pulley bearing. As the bearing wears, it creates friction and noise against the shaft. The squeal typically gets louder over time and may eventually turn into a grinding or clunking sound as the bearing fails further. Replacing the idler pulley is usually the fix in these cases, and is much less expensive than a service call. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic with a metal bearing to match the dimensions and performance of the original 279640 idler pulley.
