XPARTCO 691366 Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly Replaces WP691366
The XPARTCO 691366 is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers — particularly models with the lint filter on top — including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Norge. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm and wheel that presses against the drum drive belt to maintain correct belt tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips off the motor pulley, causing the drum to stop spinning. A worn idler pulley bearing also causes squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during operation.
This is a complete idler arm and pulley assembly — it includes both the spring arm and the wheel, and mounts directly to the existing bracket in the dryer. Overall dimensions are 6"L x 1-5/8"W x 3-7/8"H with a 1-7/8" diameter pulley wheel. It replaces older Teflon friction-style idler pulleys and provides a smoother, longer-lasting ball-bearing wheel. It directly replaces WP691366, 691366, 239477, 337116, 337407, 3394332, 347034, 347226, 4319391, 688166, W10612905, AP6010582, PS11743765, and over 20 additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) as the 4392065 maintenance kit. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to fully access the drum drive components. Release belt tension by pushing the idler pulley arm toward the motor and sliding the belt off. Note how the belt is routed before removing — take a photo. Unclip or unscrew the old idler pulley assembly from its mounting bracket. Install the new 691366 idler pulley in the same position. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then release the idler arm to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and drum support rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 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 and the motor pulley without slipping as the motor spins. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has failed — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat but does not tumble clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing sound that is the most common sign of idler pulley failure.
What is the difference between 691366 and WP691366?
These are the same idler pulley assembly. WP691366 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 691366. The W10612905 is also a cross-reference for the same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What is the difference between 691366 and W10837240?
Both are Whirlpool dryer idler pulley assemblies, but for different dryer generations. The 691366 (WP691366) is used on older Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint filter on top of the dryer. The W10837240 is a larger, redesigned idler arm and bracket assembly used on newer Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint screen inside the door. They are not interchangeable. Always verify your model number to confirm which idler pulley is correct for your dryer.
Should I also replace the belt and drum 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 (341241) and rear drum support rollers (349241T). All three parts are part of the same drum drive system and wear at similar rates. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three together and is the recommended approach for a complete drum drive repair — one teardown covers everything.
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 and metal with a ball-bearing pulley wheel to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP691366 idler pulley assembly.

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

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power outlet (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. 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.

XPARTCO 4392065 Dryer Maintenance Kit Replaces 349241T, 341241, WP691366
The XPARTCO 4392065 is an aftermarket dryer maintenance and repair kit containing the three most commonly replaced drum drive components for Whirlpool-family 29-inch dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The kit includes the drum belt (341241), idler pulley (691366), and rear drum support roller kit (349241T) — the three parts that work together to drive and support the dryer drum, and that most frequently cause squealing, thumping, no heat, and drum-not-spinning issues when worn.
Replacing all three parts together in a single repair is the recommended approach — since these components wear at similar rates and the dryer must be fully disassembled to access any one of them, doing all three at once saves significant time and cost compared to replacing them individually. The kit contains everything needed: 1 drum belt, 1 idler pulley, 2 drum support rollers, 4 tri-rings, and 2 retaining washers. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 4392065 Dryer Maintenance Kit fixes squealing, thumping, no heat, and drum-not-spinning issues in Whirlpool-family 29" dryers in a single repair. Includes 1x 341241 drum belt (92-1/4" x 1/4", 4 ribs), 1x 691366 idler pulley, 2x 349241T drum rollers, 4x tri-rings, and 2x retaining washers. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef dryers.

Dryer drum not spinning — motor runs but belt has broken

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. 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. Release belt tension at the idler pulley, then lift the drum out. Remove the old belt, idler pulley, and drum rollers. Install the 2 new 349241T rollers onto the rear bulkhead shafts, pressing the new tri-rings and washers into place. Install the new 691366 idler pulley onto the idler arm. Loop the new 341241 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward, then route it around the idler pulley and motor pulley. Reinstall the drum, reassemble the front and top panels, and restore power. Run a test cycle to confirm quiet operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers, flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I replace all three parts at the same time?
The drum belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers all work together as a system and wear at similar rates under the same conditions. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access any one of these parts, replacing all three in a single repair is far more cost-effective than replacing them one at a time — which would require three separate teardowns. This is the same reason the 4392065 maintenance kit was designed: one repair, all three parts, done.
What does each part in this kit do?
The 341241 drum belt wraps around the outside of the drum and connects to the idler pulley and motor pulley — the motor drives the belt, which spins the drum. The 691366 idler pulley maintains tension on the belt so it grips the drum and motor pulley properly. The 349241T drum rollers are support wheels mounted on the rear of the dryer that cradle and support the back edge of the drum as it rotates. All three are essential to smooth, quiet drum operation.
How is this kit different from the 4392067 repair kit?
The 4392065 and 4392067 kits are designed for different Whirlpool-family dryer generations. The 4392065 uses the 341241 belt (92-1/4" x 1/4", 4 ribs) and the 691366 idler pulley, and is for older 29-inch Whirlpool-family dryers. The 4392067 uses the 661570V belt (93-1/2" x 1/4", 4 ribs) and the W10837240 idler arm assembly, and is for newer Whirlpool-family dryers (those with the lint screen inside the door). Use your model number to confirm which kit fits your specific dryer before ordering.
Do I need to lubricate the drum rollers after installing?
No — the 349241T drum rollers include self-lubricating bearings and do not require any additional grease or oil after installation. Applying grease to self-lubricating rollers is not recommended and can actually attract lint and debris, causing the rollers to wear faster.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket kit?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM kit, but all three included components are manufactured from premium neoprene rubber, durable plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 4392065 kit parts.

If the idler arm is worn, consider replacing the entire assembly.
