Dryer Squealing or Drum Not Turning? Maytag Idler Pulley WP6-3700340 – Fix Belt Tension Fast

If your Maytag, Admiral, or Magic Chef dryer is squealing, squeaking, thumping, or the drum has stopped turning entirely — the idler pulley is the most common cause. In most MDE and MDG-series Maytag dryers, this is caused by a worn or seized idler pulley wheel. When it fails, the pulley can no longer maintain proper tension on the drum drive belt — causing the belt to slip, squeal against the pulley shaft, or come off completely, leaving the drum unable to turn. ⚡ Common failure point in Maytag-built electric and gas dryers. Part WP6-3700340 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores proper belt tension and eliminates squealing, thumping, and drum rotation failures.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

  • ✔ Dryer powers on and the motor runs normally
  • ✔ Heat is working correctly (element or burner OK)
  • ✔ Drive belt is intact and not broken
  • ✔ ONLY problem is squealing noise, thumping, or drum turning slowly / not at all

Not sure? Send us your model number — we'll confirm before you order.

🔧 Common Symptoms

  • Loud squealing or squeaking noise when the dryer is running
  • Thumping or grinding noise from inside the dryer cabinet
  • Drum belt keeps slipping off or breaking prematurely
  • Drum turns slowly or intermittently
  • Drum won't turn at all (seized pulley locking the belt)
  • Burning smell from belt friction on a seized pulley wheel

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this idler pulley restores normal drum rotation and eliminates noise immediately.

⚠️ Recommended While Repairing:
While the dryer cabinet is open, inspect the drum drive belt for cracking, fraying, or glazing — if the idler pulley wore out, the belt has been running under abnormal stress and is likely close to failure. Replacing both the pulley and the belt at the same time saves you from opening the dryer again in a few months and is minimal extra cost for a complete repair.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–60 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Remove the top and front panels to access the drum assembly, release belt tension from the idler arm, swap the old pulley wheel for the new one, then re-route the belt around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley before reassembling. Tools needed: putty knife or flat screwdriver, ¼” nut driver, work gloves.

💡 Pro Tip

Spin the Pulley by Hand Before You Order:
With the dryer unplugged, open the cabinet and spin the idler pulley wheel by hand. A bad pulley will feel rough, wobbly, or won't spin freely at all — this confirms the pulley is the source of the noise rather than the drum glides or motor bearings. Takes 2 minutes and rules out other causes before you commit to the repair.
