Common Symptoms

  • Drum does not turn while the motor may run.
  • Squealing, rattling, or scraping near the drive system.
  • Drive belt appears loose, displaced, or unable to maintain tension.
  • Visible pulley-wheel cracking, deformation, or binding.

Check Before Replacing

  • Disconnect electrical power before inspection or service.
  • With the dryer empty and power disconnected, inspect the idler pulley wheel for cracks, flat spots, deformation, or visible bearing damage.
  • Check that the drive belt is seated correctly around the motor pulley, drum, and idler pulley rather than assuming the idler pulley is defective.
  • If safely accessible with the appliance unplugged, manually rotate the pulley and check for obvious binding or abnormal roughness; do not force it.
  • Inspect the belt and other drum-support components because belt or drum problems can produce similar no-rotation symptoms.

Pro Tip

Inspect the drive belt and idler pulley together: a worn or displaced belt can mimic an idler-pulley failure, while a binding pulley can accelerate belt wear.
