Common signs include a squealing or grinding noise during operation, the drum not spinning, or visible wear on the pulley itself. Regular inspection can help identify these issues early.
First, disconnect the dryer from power. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Detach the drum belt and replace the faulty idler pulley with a new one. Reassemble the dryer and test its operation.
