The idler assembly keeps tension on the dryer belt, allowing the drum to spin. If it's faulty, the drum may not rotate properly.
Signs include a squealing noise, the drum failing to turn, or a visibly damaged idler pulley. Regular inspection can prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Unplug the dryer, remove the front panel, and locate the idler assembly. Release the belt tension, remove the old assembly, and install the new one. Reassemble the dryer and test its operation.
You may need a screwdriver, nut driver, and wrench set. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged before starting any repairs.
