Worked
May 30, 2021

Worked as advertised. Installation was relatively simple. Someone else took the belt off so it took a few extra minutes to figure out the route, but once ascertained, went together very quickly.

Feeling Good About Fixing a Dryer Problem Myself
March 31, 2021

My Whirlpool Cabrio dryer developed a loud squeaking noise. I googled what to do and found that the usual cause is a failing bearing in the idler pulley. Ordered it and finished the install in less than 30 minutes. It works and now my wife thinks I'm smarter than I really am ...:)

The last one stopped spinning. This one spins. That is what I look for in a pulley.
