Reviews
Idler pulley
Product was easy to install and appears to be working. The part was not the OEM part but a replacement OEM part, slightly larger pulley wheel. That fact was not clear when I ordered the part.

Super easy to put on
If your dryer squeaks when it turns it's probably this idler pulley. One spring and bolt to replace. Super easy to do yourself even a caveman can do it.

Just what I needed
A difficult part to get to because of its location, but removing the wheel from the bracket meant I only needed to replace the wheel, which was bad, and not the whole bracket, so I did not have to deal with the spring assembly.
