General Electric Washer Dryer Combo Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

Secures the drive pulley to the motor shaft in your laundry center washer. Replace if stripped, missing, or loose to restore a solid pulley connection.

Mounts on the transmission shaft to transfer motor power for agitation and spin. Replace if worn, cracked, or causing belt tracking issues.

Idler arm assembly mounts to the dryer frame and maintains proper belt tension on the drum. Replace if the arm is cracked, bent, or the pulley is worn.

Keep your dryer drum turning smoothly. This idler & pulley assembly maintains proper tension on the drive belt so the drum rotates quietly and efficiently when the original idler or pulley becomes worn, noisy, or seized. What it does:

• Applies spring-loaded tension to the drive belt for consistent drum rotation
• Provides a smooth rolling surface to minimize belt friction and wear
• Worn/failed parts may cause squealing or chirping, the drum not turning, the belt slipping off or breaking, or a hot rubber smell

• One idler and pulley assembly

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the belt path by removing the necessary panels per your service information
• Pull the idler to release belt tension, remove the old assembly, install the new one, and route the belt correctly around the motor and idler
• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and test run

This roller support holds the dryer drum roller in place to help the drum turn smoothly and stay aligned. Replacing a worn support can reduce noise and wobble and help protect the belt and drum from uneven wear. What it does:

• Holds and positions the drum roller so the drum rotates with minimal friction
• Keeps drum alignment and belt tracking stable during operation
• Helps prevent drum wobble and uneven wear that can lead to rubbing or thumping noises
• Common symptoms: loud squealing or grinding, thumping during rotation, visible drum wobble

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or rear panel; follow the model's service manual
• Inspect the roller, axle, and adjacent support components; replace any worn parts to prevent repeat failure
• Use proper tools and secure fasteners to factory torque
