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. Constructed from plastic and metal in white, black, and gray. It directly replaces 4561EL3002B, DE3002A, 4980EL3004, 1267530, AP4438243, AH3523033, EA3523033, EAP3523033, PD00001729, and PS3523033. Note: the pulley wheel only (without arm and spring) is sold separately as APN4560EL3001A — this listing is for the complete idler assembly. Often replaced together with the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 4561EL3002A Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly fixes LG and Kenmore dryers that are squealing, thumping, or where the drum has stopped spinning because belt tension is lost. Complete assembly — idler arm, pulley wheel, and spring included. 5-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 3-7/8"H overall; 2-1/4" pulley diameter. Replaces 4561EL3002B, DE3002A, 4980EL3004, 1267530, AP4438243, AH3523033, EAP3523033, PS3523033. Often replaced with drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A).

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. 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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen, then 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 at the old idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Remove the old idler arm assembly by unscrewing the mounting screw, then install the new W10837240 idler pulley assembly and secure with the screw. Loop the new WPW10112954 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward, then route it around the new idler pulley and motor pulley. Consult your model's service manual or a model-specific repair video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
The belt and idler pulley wear together — when one fails, the other is usually close behind. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access either part, replacing both in a single repair saves you from having to take the machine apart again soon after. It also protects the new belt from being damaged by a worn pulley, and vice versa.
How does the W10837240 differ from other Whirlpool idler pulleys?
The W10837240 is the updated idler pulley arm and bracket assembly designed for Whirlpool-family dryers that have the lint screen inside the door. It replaces the older W10547287 and W10547290 assemblies. Some older or different Whirlpool models use a different idler pulley style — if you're unsure which one your dryer needs, contact our support team with your model number before ordering.
What is the difference between WPW10112954 and W10112954?
These are the same belt. WPW10112954 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10112954. Both refer to the identical drum belt included in this kit.
Should I also replace the drum rollers at the same time?
It depends on the condition of your rollers. Since the dryer is already fully disassembled, it is a good opportunity to inspect the drum support rollers for flat spots, cracks, or wobbling. If they show any wear, replacing them at the same time is recommended to avoid a third disassembly. Check your model's roller part number before ordering.
Are these OEM or aftermarket parts?
Both parts in this kit are aftermarket replacements built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. They are not genuine Whirlpool OEM parts, but are manufactured to match the dimensions and performance of the original WPW10112954 belt and W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

WPW10547292 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Idler Pulley
The WPW10547292 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM idler pulley assembly for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore dryers. This pulley sits to the left of the motor, just below the drum belt, and its job is to ride against the belt and keep constant tension on it as the motor turns — without that tension, the belt would sag, slip on the motor pulley, and fail to reliably turn the drum. The pulley wheel itself spins freely on a bearing mounted to a bracket, so as the belt moves, the pulley spins along with it under light load.
Over time, the bearing inside the pulley wheel wears out, causing it to spin roughly, seize partially, or bind up entirely instead of turning freely. When that happens, the belt drags against a pulley that should be spinning smoothly with it, generating friction, heat, and noise. A worn idler pulley produces a very recognizable symptom: a persistent squeaking or squealing sound during operation that often gets more noticeable over time, and in more advanced cases, a drum that struggles to spin or doesn't spin at all, or a burning smell as the seized pulley drags against the belt. It directly replaces W10547292, WPW10547292VP, AP6022817, 8547160, PS11756154, and LP16246.
Quick Answer
The WPW10547292 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Idler Pulley fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore dryers with a persistent squeaking or squealing noise during operation, a drum that struggles to spin, or a burning smell from a seized pulley dragging against the belt. Mounts to the left of the motor, below the belt. Replaces W10547292, WPW10547292VP, AP6022817, 8547160, PS11756154, LP16246. Consider replacing the drum belt (8544742/WP8544742) at the same time — a seized idler pulley is a common cause of premature belt wear, and you'll already have the cabinet open.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Persistent squeaking or squealing noise during operation
Noise that gradually gets louder or more frequent over time
Drum that struggles to spin, spins intermittently, or won't spin at all
Burning smell coming from inside the dryer cabinet
Pulley wheel that feels stiff, gritty, or seized when checked by hand
Drive belt showing premature wear or fraying from dragging against a bound-up pulley
Noise that stops and starts depending on drum rotation or load size

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — On Gas Models, Shut Off The Gas Supply Too Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas dryer, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves. Remove the lint filter, then remove the screws along the top edge of the front panel and take the panel off. With the front open, locate the belt tensioner pulley — it sits to the left of the motor, just below the belt. Use a socket wrench with an extension to loosen the pulley's mounting bolt, then remove the old pulley assembly, releasing the belt from it as you go. Slide the new WPW10547292 assembly onto the mounting post, making sure the grooves line up correctly so the belt seats snugly against the wheel, then re-tighten the mounting bolt securely. Before closing everything up, spin the new pulley by hand to confirm it turns freely with no grinding or resistance, and inspect the belt for wear, glazing, or fraying — replace it as well if it shows any of these signs, since a worn belt will quickly wear out even a brand-new pulley. Reinstall the front panel and its screws, restore power, and run a short empty cycle listening for the squeak to confirm it's resolved. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 3/8" socket wrench with extension, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeaks constantly. Is this definitely the idler pulley?
It's one of the most common causes of a persistent squeak, especially if the noise is steady and present throughout the cycle rather than only at certain moments. The pulley's internal bearing wears out over years of use, and a worn bearing produces exactly this kind of ongoing squeal as it spins roughly instead of smoothly. If you can access the pulley and spin it by hand, feeling any grinding or stiffness confirms the diagnosis.
Is this a hard repair, or can I do it myself?
It's a moderate repair — you'll need to remove the front panel and access the area behind the motor, which some customers describe as needing to "pull the entire dryer apart" to reach the pulley. It's very doable with basic hand tools and some patience, but budget more time than a simple part swap, and expect to use a socket wrench with an extension to reach the mounting bolt in that tighter space.
Should I replace the belt while I'm already in there?
It's worth strongly considering. A seized or dragging pulley puts extra wear on the belt, so if your pulley failed from being seized rather than just noisy, the belt may already be showing damage. Since you'll already have the cabinet open and the belt exposed, inspecting it — and replacing it if it shows glazing, cracking, or fraying — saves you from repeating this same teardown again soon after.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original bearing design, bracket shape, and mounting configuration of the idler pulley assembly originally installed in your Whirlpool, Maytag, or Kenmore dryer.

Rethread the belt around the pulley and motor pulley (check your model’s belt routing diagram). Reassemble in reverse order. Note: Snap ring pliers are recommended for easy removal and installation. If the idler arm is worn, consider replacing the entire assembly.

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.

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.

EXP694 Dryer Repair Kit Replaces DC97-16782A, 6602-001655, DC93-00634A
The EXP694 Dryer Repair Kit is a complete drum system rebuild solution designed to restore smooth, quiet, and efficient dryer operation. This kit includes the most common wear components found inside your dryer: drum belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers.
Over time, these parts wear down together, causing squeaking, grinding, drum slippage, or complete failure to spin. Replacing all components at once ensures proper alignment, eliminates noise, and prevents repeat breakdowns — making this the most effective long-term repair solution.
Quick Answer
The EXP694 Dryer Repair Kit fixes dryers that won’t spin, make loud squeaking or grinding noises, or stop tumbling. It replaces the belt, rollers, and idler pulley to restore smooth and quiet drum operation.
Note: Includes four rollers (each with shaft and two tri-rings), one idler pulley, and one belt. Replace all four rollers for even wear. Inspect the drum and felt seal (e.g., DC97-07618A) for wear. Clean lint from the drum and cabinet to prevent overheating.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer drum not spinning or slipping
Loud squeaking, grinding, or thumping noises
Uneven or slow drum rotation
