FAQ

This idler pulley is used on select GE and Hotpoint clothes dryers. Compatibility is best confirmed by matching your dryer's model number and checking whether your original pulley part number matches one of these numbers: WE03X31620, WE12X20395, WE12M0008, WE12M32, AP6997706, PS16542497, or EAP16542497.
This pulley cross-references to WE03X31620, WE12X20395, WE12M0008, WE12M32, AP6997706, PS16542497, and EAP16542497.
The idler pulley keeps proper tension on the dryer drum belt. It works with the motor pulley and belt so the drum can rotate smoothly. If the pulley wears out, the belt can slip, squeal, or fail to turn the drum correctly.
Typical signs include a loud squeaking or squealing noise, scraping or rattling during operation, belt slippage, or a drum that will not turn even though the motor runs. On GE and Hotpoint dryers, a worn idler pulley is a common cause of noise complaints related to the drum drive system.
For many GE and Hotpoint dryers, this is usually a moderate repair that can often be completed in under an hour. You will typically need to disconnect power, open the dryer cabinet or front/lower access area, release belt tension, remove the old pulley, and install the new one. Common tools may include a screwdriver, nut driver, and work gloves.
Check the drum belt for glazing, cracks, fraying, or stretching, since a worn belt can damage the new pulley or continue causing slipping. It is also smart to inspect the drum support rollers, motor pulley, and belt routing path for wear, debris, or lint buildup. If the old pulley failed from noise or drag, cleaning the pulley arm pivot area and checking for belt damage can help prevent repeat problems.
