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 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 the drive belt tension by pushing the idler arm, then slide the belt off the idler pulley. Remove the mounting screw securing the old idler arm assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10837240 idler assembly, secure with the mounting screw, then re-route the drive belt around the new pulley and motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the dryer is open, inspect the drum belt (WPW10112954) and drum support rollers for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-tensioned wheel mounted on an arm and bracket inside the dryer. It presses against the drive belt to maintain the correct tension needed to keep the belt gripping the drum and motor pulley. Without proper tension, the belt slips, loses contact, or causes the drum to stop spinning. A worn or seized idler pulley is one of the most common causes of dryer squeaking and drum spin failure.
Does W10837240 replace W10547287 and W10547290?
Yes. The W10837240 is the updated part number that directly supersedes both the W10547287 and W10547290 idler pulley assemblies. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the W10837240 is the correct current replacement.
How do I know if my lint screen is inside the door?
Open the dryer door and look for a slot or housing just inside the door opening — typically at the top or bottom of the door opening — where you pull out the lint filter. If the filter pulls out from inside the door frame, the W10837240 is designed for your dryer style. If the lint screen pulls out from the top of the dryer cabinet, contact our support team with your model number to identify the correct idler pulley for your machine.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled to replace the idler pulley, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (WPW10112954) at the same time. The belt and idler pulley wear together, and a worn belt on a new pulley — or vice versa — significantly shortens the life of the new part.
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 to match the dimensions and performance of the original W10837240 idler pulley assembly.

279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor
The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises.
This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem?
Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out.
Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn?
A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse.
Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor?
The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement.
Does this motor come with the pulley?
Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included.
Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor?
It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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.

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

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.

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 134719300 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO 134719300 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum drive belt compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers. The drum belt is a critical component that connects the motor pulley to the drum, enabling the drum to rotate during drying cycles. The belt wraps around the drum circumference, passes over an idler pulley (which maintains tension), and connects to the drive motor pulley. When the motor runs, it drives the belt, which rotates the drum to tumble clothes for even drying. Over time, drive belts fail due to normal wear from friction and heat, cracking or fraying from age and repeated flexing, stretching that reduces tension and causes slipping, contamination from lint buildup, or sudden breakage from overloading or mechanical stress.
Constructed from durable black rubber with reinforced fabric or cord embedded inside for strength and flexibility, designed to withstand thousands of hours of operation under high temperatures and constant friction. Dimensions: 90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. It directly replaces 134719300, 137315300, 7134719300, LB5300, 1482960, AP4368788, EAP2349294, PD00000843, and PS2349294. Important: install the belt with the grooves facing DOWN, against the drum. Often replaced together with the idler pulley (134793500/134793511, sold separately) as a paired repair since both wear together. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Remove the top and/or front panels of the dryer to access the drum — the specific procedure varies by model, but typically involves removing 2–4 screws under the top edge or lint trap area, then lifting or tilting the top panel forward. Once the top is off, disconnect the door switch wire harness and lift the front panel free. This exposes the drum, motor, and idler pulley. Photograph the belt routing before disassembly if any belt fragments remain — you'll need to match the routing pattern with the new belt. Remove any pieces of the old broken belt from around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley. Support the drum from underneath (a wooden block or two can help hold it in position). Route the new 134719300 belt around the drum in the same position as the old belt — approximately 4-6 inches from the front lip of the drum. Install with the grooves facing DOWN, against the drum surface — this is essential for proper engagement with the motor pulley. From under the drum, route the belt over the idler pulley and around the drive motor pulley in a Z-shape. Rotate the drum by hand a few full turns to confirm the belt seats correctly and rides smoothly. Verify the drum rotates freely without binding — if it doesn't, the belt is twisted, kinked, or misrouted; fix it before reassembling. Reinstall the front and top panels, reconnect the door switch, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, wooden block, side cutters (for removing broken belt fragments), flathead screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn — is the belt the problem?
Almost certainly, yes. When the motor runs (you hear the humming/whirring) but the drum stays still, the belt has almost always snapped or is slipping badly. To confirm without opening the dryer: reach in through the door and try turning the drum by hand. If it spins freely with no resistance whatsoever, the belt is broken. If it turns but feels notchy or resistant, the belt may still be intact but the drum bearings or rollers could be the issue. In either case, opening the dryer to inspect the belt visually is the definitive check — a snapped belt will be lying in the bottom of the cabinet.
Why do I have to install the belt with grooves facing down?
The dryer's motor pulley is a smooth, un-grooved cylinder — the belt runs against it with the flat (smooth) side. The drum, on the other hand, needs the grooves to positively engage and drive without slipping under load. So the grooved side faces the drum (down when you're routing the belt around the drum from above), and the smooth side wraps around the motor pulley and idler pulley. Installing the belt backwards with grooves facing up will cause the belt to slip against the drum immediately and can burn out the new belt within a few minutes of operation.
Should I replace the idler pulley at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The idler pulley (134793500 or 134793511 on many compatible dryers) maintains constant tension on the drum belt as the drum rotates. It wears from the same friction cycles as the belt — when the belt fails, the idler pulley bearings have typically also been stressed and are near end-of-life. Since the dryer is already open and the pulley is right there next to the belt, replacing both saves you a repeat repair when the pulley fails a few months later. Signs of a worn idler pulley: rough or noisy rotation when spun by hand, visible wear grooves, or seized bearings.
What's the difference between 134719300 and 137315300?
These are the same drive belt across production revisions. 137315300 was a Frigidaire OEM part number and 134719300 is the current cross-referenced part number that covers the same belt. Both are physically and functionally identical — if your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, this listing is the correct replacement. LB5300 and 7134719300 are additional catalog references for the same belt.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from durable rubber with reinforced fabric/cord to match the dimensions (90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H), rib and groove pattern (5 ribs, 4 grooves), and drive function of the original 134719300 drum belt used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers.
