EXP653 Dryer Idler Pulley and Belt Set Replaces 6602-001655, DC93-00634A The EXP653 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt and idler pulley set for Samsung electric dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Amana, and Maytag models built on the Samsung platform. These two components work together: the drum belt wraps around the drum and motor pulley to transmit rotation and keep the drum tumbling, while the idler pulley rides against the belt to maintain proper tension so it doesn't slip or sag during operation. Over time, the belt wears, cracks, or glazes over, and the idler pulley's bearing wears out, causing it to spin roughly or seize. Because these two parts work together in the same drive path and tend to wear on a similar timeline, they're commonly sold and replaced as a set. Symptoms of failure include the dryer not starting, the drum not tumbling or spinning, and noise issues such as squealing or grinding during operation. It directly replaces 6602-001655, 6602-001314, 5PH2337, EXP645, PD00002012, EAP2407938, AP4373659, PS4133825 (drum belt), and DC93-00634A, DC97-07509B, DC61-01230B, DC96-00882B, DC96-00882C, 4455850, PD00032419, EAP11771601, AP6038887, and PS11771601 (idler pulley). Quick Answer The EXP653 Dryer Idler Pulley and Belt Set fixes Samsung, Kenmore, Amana, and Maytag electric dryers that won't start, won't tumble or spin, or make squealing/grinding noise during operation. Includes drum belt and idler pulley.

These two parts wear together — replacing both at once, rather than just the one that failed, helps avoid reopening the dryer again soon after.

Wear work gloves. Remove the top and front panels of the dryer to access the drum, belt, and idler pulley. Remove the old drum belt from around the drum and motor pulley. Remove the old idler pulley from its mounting bracket. Install the new EXP653 idler pulley in the same position, making sure it spins freely by hand before continuing. Route and install the new drum belt correctly around the drum and motor pulley, matching the original path exactly, and re-tension it through the idler pulley. Reinstall the drum if it was removed, then reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation with the drum tumbling normally and no squealing or grinding noise. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer won't start. Could that really be the belt or pulley? Yes, on some models a broken belt or seized idler pulley can prevent the dryer from starting a cycle at all, since certain safety switches rely on normal drum movement or belt tension to allow the cycle to proceed. If your dryer hums or clicks but won't fully start, or starts and immediately stops, this set is worth checking alongside more obvious suspects like the door switch. Do I need to replace both the belt and the pulley, or just the one that failed? You can replace just the failed component if you've confirmed which one is actually bad, but these two parts share the same drive path and tend to wear out around the same time — a seized pulley can accelerate belt wear, and a worn belt puts extra strain on the pulley. Replacing both together, since you'll already have the dryer open, helps avoid a second teardown soon after. My dryer squeals during operation. Is that this set? Yes, squealing or grinding noise is one of the most common symptoms addressed by this belt and pulley set, typically caused by a worn idler pulley bearing or a belt that's slipping due to lost tension. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the belt length, rib pattern, and pulley design of the original 6602-001655 belt and DC93-00634A idler pulley used in compatible Samsung, Kenmore, Amana, and Maytag electric dryers.

EXP651 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley Kit Replaces WPW10112954, W10837240 The EXP651 is an aftermarket dryer repair kit containing two essential drum drive components for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers. The kit includes one drum belt (replaces WPW10112954) and one idler pulley assembly with bracket (replaces W10837240) — the two parts most commonly worn together when a dryer drum stops spinning or becomes noisy. Replacing both the belt and idler pulley at the same time is the smart repair choice. Since the dryer must be disassembled to access either part, doing both in one repair saves you from having to take the machine apart again if the second part fails shortly after. This kit covers the two most common failure points in the Whirlpool-family dryer drum drive system. Quick Answer The EXP651 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley Kit fixes dryers where the drum is not spinning, making loud squeaking or grinding noises, or the belt has broken.

If your dryer has the lint screen on top of the cabinet, a different idler pulley part number may be required. Contact our support team to confirm before ordering. Key Features Two-part kit covers the most common drum drive failures in Whirlpool-family dryers in a single repair Belt: 93-1/4" L x 5/16" W, 5-rib Multi-V rubber — resists cracking, stretching, and heat damage Idler pulley: 2-1/8" diameter pulley with arm and bracket — maintains correct belt tension for smooth drum rotation Replacing both parts together saves a second disassembly if the other part fails soon after Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Belt directly replaces WPW10112954 / W10112954 — no modification required Idler pulley directly replaces W10837240 / W10547287 / W10547290 — no modification required DIY-friendly repair — installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Kit Part Number EXP651 Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Gas and Electric Dryers Kit Includes 1x Drum Belt (WPW10112954), 1x Idler Pulley Assembly with Bracket (W10837240) Belt Length 93-1/4 inches Belt Width 5/16 inch Belt Height 1/8 inch Belt Ribs 5 ribs, 4 grooves (Multi-V) Belt Material Rubber Pulley Diameter 2-1/8 inches Pulley Overall Dimensions 6-1/4" L x 1-1/4" W x 3-7/16" H Pulley Material Plastic / Metal Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, Roper 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.

EXP652 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley Replaces WPW10112954, 279640 The EXP652 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt and idler pulley kit for Whirlpool and Maytag electric and gas dryers, and also fits select KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. These two components work together: the drum belt circles the drum and attaches to the motor pulley to transmit rotation, while the idler pulley rides against the belt to maintain proper tension so it doesn't slip or sag during operation. Because these two parts share the same drive path and tend to wear on a similar timeline, they're commonly sold and replaced together. Symptoms of failure include the dryer not starting, the drum not tumbling or spinning, and noise issues such as squealing or rubbing during operation. It directly replaces W10112954, WPW10112954, AP6015116, PS11748388 (drum belt), and AP3094197, PS334244, 279640, and 3388674 (idler pulley). Quick Answer The EXP652 Dryer Belt and Idler Pulley fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers that won't start, won't tumble or spin, or make squealing/rubbing noise.

Key Features Aftermarket replacement kit — drum belt and idler pulley in one purchase Resolves "won't start," "won't tumble or spin," and "squealing/rubbing noise" symptoms Restores smooth drum rotation with proper belt tracking and tension Reduces noise and vibration from a worn belt or pulley Direct drop-in replacement matching the original belt length and pulley mounting Replaces W10112954, WPW10112954, AP6015116, PS11748388, AP3094197, PS334244, 279640, and 3388674 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers Built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number EXP652 Set Contents 1x Drum Belt (replaces WPW10112954), 1x Idler Pulley (replaces 279640) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Whirlpool / Maytag Electric and Gas Dryers Belt Length Approx. 92-1/2" Belt Profile Flat, 5 ribs, 4 grooves Related Idler Pulley W10837240 (for other models, sold separately) Repair Difficulty Moderate — front/top panel and drum removal required Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — This Is A Bigger Repair Requiring Significant Disassembly Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the top and front panels of the dryer, then the drum, to access the belt and idler pulley. Remove the old drum belt from around the drum and motor pulley. Remove the old idler pulley from its mounting bracket. Install the new EXP652 idler pulley in the same position, making sure it spins freely by hand before continuing. Route and install the new drum belt correctly around the drum and motor pulley, matching the original path exactly, and re-tension it through the idler pulley. Reinstall the drum, then reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation with the drum tumbling normally and no squealing or rubbing noise. Tools needed: nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer's motor runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the right kit? Yes, this is the classic symptom addressed by a worn or broken drum belt, and since the idler pulley works together with the belt to maintain proper tension, replacing both at once addresses the most common causes of this problem in one repair. Do I need to replace both parts, or just the one that failed? You can replace just the failed component if you've confirmed which one is actually bad, but these two parts share the same drive path and tend to wear out around the same time — a worn pulley can accelerate belt wear, and a worn belt puts extra strain on the pulley. Replacing both together, since you'll already have the dryer largely disassembled for access, helps avoid a second teardown soon after. Is this the same idler pulley as your other Whirlpool dryer belt kits? Not necessarily — Whirlpool uses more than one idler pulley design across its dryer lineup. This kit specifically pairs the WPW10112954 belt with the 279640 idler pulley. Other kits may pair the same belt with a different pulley, such as W10837240, used on other models. Always confirm your full model number before ordering. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the belt length, rib pattern, and pulley design of the original WPW10112954 belt and 279640 idler pulley used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and related electric and gas dryers.

XPARTCO W10837240 Dryer Idler Pulley The XPARTCO W10837240 is an aftermarket replacement idler pulley assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers. The idler pulley maintains correct tension on the drive belt, allowing the belt to spin the dryer drum smoothly and consistently. When the idler pulley wears out, the belt loses tension — causing squeaking, grinding noises, or a drum that stops spinning entirely. This complete assembly includes the idler arm, pulley, and bracket — everything needed for a direct drop-in installation. The pulley is 2-1/8 inches in diameter and the overall assembly measures 6-1/4" L x 1-1/4" W x 3-7/16" H.

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.

Remove the top panel by inserting a putty knife under the front edge to release the spring clips, then lift. Remove the front panel to fully expose the drum. Take a photo of the existing belt routing before removing anything. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley and slide it off the drum. Remove the drum and set it aside. Replace all four drum support rollers — remove the old tri-ring clips with needle-nose pliers, slide the old rollers off the shafts, and install the new WPW10314173 rollers with new tri-rings and the included washer. Replace the idler pulley (279640) by pressing the new wheel onto the idler arm shaft. Route the new 661570V belt around the drum (ribbed side against the drum), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley. Reinstall the drum, front panel, and top panel. Restore power and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers, socket set. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if the belt in this kit (661570V) fits my dryer? The belt included in this kit is 661570V (93-1/2" long, 1/4" wide, 4-rib). To confirm it is correct for your dryer, look up your dryer's model number in an online parts diagram and check the belt part number listed. If the parts diagram shows 661570V or its cross-reference 661570, this kit's belt is correct. If your diagram shows a different belt part number — for example 341241, W10205415, or WP8547157 — the rollers and idler in this kit will still fit your dryer, but you will need to order the correct belt separately. This is the most important compatibility check before purchasing this kit. Is the idler pulley (279640) a complete arm assembly or just the wheel? The 279640 included in this kit is the pulley wheel only — it does not include the idler arm or bracket. It presses onto the existing idler arm shaft inside your dryer. If the idler arm itself is cracked or broken, the arm assembly will need to be replaced separately. On most Whirlpool 27-inch dryers the arm itself rarely fails — it is the wheel bearing that wears out, which is what the 279640 wheel in this kit addresses. Why should I replace all four rollers instead of just the one that's noisy? All four drum support rollers wear at the same rate through the same number of drying cycles. When one roller starts making noise, the other three have experienced the same wear and are likely close behind. Replacing only the noisy roller leaves three worn rollers supporting the drum unevenly, often leading to a repeat repair within months. Since the dryer is already fully disassembled for this repair, replacing all four at once is the most cost-effective and long-lasting approach. How is the 4392067 kit different from the 4392065 kit? Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer repair kits but for different dryer platforms. The 4392065 is for older Whirlpool 29-inch dryers with the lint screen on top (contains belt 341241, 2 rollers 349241T, idler pulley 691366). The 4392067 is for newer Whirlpool 27-inch dryers with the lint screen inside the door — typically the Duet, Cabrio, Bravos XL, and Thin Twin platforms (contains belt 661570V, 4 rollers WPW10314173, idler pulley wheel 279640). They are not interchangeable — verify your dryer's lint filter location and model series before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM kit assembled by Whirlpool to factory specifications. All components — belt, rollers, idler pulley, tri-rings, and washer — are the same parts installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand 27-inch dryers from the factory.

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.

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 EXP445 Dryer Repair Kit Replaces 4581EL2002C, 4400EL2001F, 4561EL3002A The XPARTCO EXP445 is a complete aftermarket dryer maintenance kit for LG-built dryers sold under the LG and Kenmore brands, bundling the three components that most commonly wear out together as a dryer ages: the drum support rollers, the drive belt, and the idler pulley. Rather than ordering these parts one at a time as each fails, this kit lets you service the whole drum support and drive system in a single repair — the recommended approach once any one of these parts shows wear, since they all take similar stress and tend to fail in the same general time frame. This kit includes 4 drum support rollers with metal shafts and high-strength bearings, 1 reinforced rubber drive belt, and 1 idler pulley assembly. It directly replaces roller numbers 4581EL2002L, 4581EL2002H, 4581EL2002C, 4581EL2002A, 4581EL2002D, 4581EL2002E, 4581EL3001A, 4581EL3001C, 4581EL3001F, AGM75510755, AP7220429, PS17269866; belt numbers 4400EL2001F, 4400EL2001A, 4400EL2001C, 4400EL2001E, 4115028, AP5972814, PS11705916; and idler pulley numbers 4561EL3002A, 4561EL3002B, AH3523033, EA3523033, AP4438243, PS3523033.

Key Features Complete drum support and drive system service kit — rollers, belt, and idler pulley in one order Resolves "rumbling," "squealing belt," "drum won't turn," and "burning smell" symptoms together 4 drum support rollers with metal shafts and high-strength bearings 1 reinforced rubber poly-V drive belt 1 idler pulley assembly that keeps tension on the belt Services the components most likely to wear out together, reducing repeat repair trips Replaces 4581EL2002L/H/C/A/D/E, 4581EL3001A/C/F, 4400EL2001F/A/C/E, 4561EL3002A/B, and additional cross-reference numbers Compatible with LG and Kenmore (LG-built) dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number EXP445 Kit Type Dryer Drum Roller, Belt & Idler Pulley Repair Kit Condition Aftermarket Replacement Rollers Included 4 (with shaft, bearing, mounting hardware) Belt Included 1 (reinforced rubber, poly-V) Idler Pulley Included 1 Application LG-Built Dryer Drum Support & Drive System Compatible Brands LG, Kenmore Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the front panel (typically held by spring clips or screws behind the door frame) and carefully lift the drum out, supporting it so it doesn't drop or scratch the cabinet. With the drum removed, replace all 4 drum support rollers on their shafts, securing each with its retaining nut/washer. Slip the old belt off the motor pulley and remove the old idler pulley from its mounting bracket. Install the new idler pulley, then route the new belt around the drum and motor pulley exactly as the old one was routed (photograph the belt routing before removal) — the belt typically threads under the idler pulley with the ribbed side against the drum. Reinstall the drum onto the new rollers, verify the belt sits centered and properly tensioned, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation. Tools needed: nut driver or socket set, putty knife (for spring clips, if applicable), and a camera or phone to document belt routing before disassembly. Frequently Asked Questions Why buy a full kit instead of just the failed part? The rollers, belt, and idler pulley all experience similar wear over the dryer's life and tend to fail within a similar timeframe of each other. Since the drum has to come out to access any one of these parts, most technicians and experienced DIYers replace all three at once — it costs less in total labor and time than doing three separate repairs as each part fails one after another. My dryer runs but the drum doesn't turn — is this the kit I need? Yes, in most cases. A drum that doesn't turn while the motor runs is almost always caused by a broken drive belt or a seized idler pulley. Since this kit includes both, along with the rollers that are commonly worn by the time the belt fails, it addresses the full drive system in one repair. Will this fit my Whirlpool, GE, or Samsung dryer? No — this kit is specific to the LG-built roller/belt/pulley platform used in LG and select Kenmore dryers. Other brands use different roller, belt, and pulley designs that this kit will not fit. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering. Do I need to photograph the belt routing before removing the old one? Yes, strongly recommended. LG dryer belts route around the drum and motor pulley in a specific path, often threading under the idler pulley in a particular orientation. Photographing the routing before removal makes reinstallation straightforward and avoids a belt that runs off-track or slips after reassembly.
