Canamax 8547174 Dryer Idler Pulley & 8547168 Drive Drum Belt Premium Replacement - Compatible with Whirlpool Amana Dryers

Whirlpool dryer was making annoying squeaking noise. Previously replaced the rollers which helped but then after a few months the noise got worse. Opened it up and the idler pulley was almost completely broken. Order this replacement along with the new belt and it works like a charm now. It took a few adjustments of the spring on the idler pulley to get it really quiet. The first time I put it back together there was a different noise. Took it back apart and finally realized the spring was rubbing on the bracket making a noise. Repositioned the spring so it was fitting tight and then it worked without any noises. There are several video's on how to take the dryer apart and install the pulley if you need guidance. Beware there are two different idler pulleys so make sure you order the right one. There is a white one and a black one. They fit different models.

Bought this product very unsure if I could fix my dryer or not! Saved me from spending $500 on a new dryer. Was exactly as pictured and looked factory!

The idler pulley only lasted about 7 months before it started squealing just like the old one. I put a little grease on the spindle and it was quiet for a few weeks. I just installed another new one from another supplier so we'll see how long this one lasts.

Perfect fit

Great price and overall a good product, but the new pulley wobbled quite a bit on the new bracket that came with it. As a result, as soon as I did a test run on the dryer, there was a terrible squealing noise due to the amount of free play.I removed the new pulley and put it on the old bracket and it was noticeably tighter - the old post was clearly a larger diameter than the new one. I added a little lithium grease to be on the safe side and reassembled the dryer - no squeal at all and it was as good as new. A couple dozen loads of laundry later, it's still nice and quiet.

UNPLUG FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS REPAIR.I have an laundry appliance business so am inside laundry machines all of the time. The level of difficulty installing parts really depends on the brand of your machine. This part went into a whirlpool cabrio dryer. You will need: a putty knife, and a few sockets, needle nose pliers, thats about it. The tension pulley is held on by one bolt. Just be careful with the spring. Use needle nose pliers to remove it before you take the old pulley off. If you are working on your own, tape the new belt at the top of the drum so it doesn't slip towards the back of the drum when you are trying to attach it to the motor. Pull the belt under the tension wheel and then loop it over the motor wheel. Then remove the tape and carefully turn the drum to make sure the belt is lined up with the existing wear line. The grooves on the belt should be touching the drum. You might find it easier if you lean the dryer back around 90 degrees when you are putting the belt on. Good quality belt and pulley that fitted well. Don't forget to vacuum out the lint before you put it all back together.

Fit is compatible, but the roller and bearing are clearly inferior quality and not expected to last too long.

I received this part very quickly and after watching a repair video on YouTube the installation was simple and the dryer is running very well and no squeaks anymore.

excellent

Installed for two weeks now. Works well and fixed the squeaking problem I had.My only problem was with the Amazon promised date. Ordered March 11. Before ordering Amazon said I would receive it on Mar 12. The confirmation email after ordering said Mar 15. Received on Mar 15. Bait and switch on delivery dates on the part of Amazon.

Perfect fit and dryer was back to normal in about hour.
