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. It directly replaces OEM part numbers W10837240, W10547287, and W10547290, and fits Whirlpool-family dryers with the lint screen located inside the door. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10837240 Dryer Idler Pulley fixes dryers that are squeaking, grinding, or have a drum that won't spin due to lost belt tension. Includes idler arm, pulley, and bracket. Pulley diameter 2-1/8". Compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers. Fits models with lint screen inside the door.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud squeaking or squealing noise during dryer operation
Grinding or rumbling noise as the drum rotates
Dryer drum not spinning — belt loses tension when pulley bearing fails
Belt repeatedly slipping off or breaking due to improper tension
Dryer drum turning erratically or stopping while motor continues to run
Excessive vibration or shaking during the drying cycle
Visible wear, cracking, or a pulley that no longer spins freely on its shaft

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.

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.

Compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, and Roper dryers.

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?
