Lucian October 05, 2020 for Model Number MGDC300BW0 Installed new rollers and belt, trying to connect the belt to the motor and idler pully but having a problem. When I rotate the drum to insure the the belt is aligned with the pully the belt comes off the pully. I tried several different methods to align the belt but it continues to come off. Why is this happing? Thank You Sincerely
1 Answer Be sure that when you are turning the drum that you are only turning it clockwise if you are looking from the front of the dryer. Read More...
Adam August 19, 2020 for Model Number WED49STBW1 Replaced belt, drum rollers and idler pulley...with new setup idler sounds to be rapping like a machine gun. What could be reason? Will it wear in?
1 Answer Adam, This could be just a faulty idler pulley which is the most likely cause and would want to replace the idler pulley. Read More...
Joe Harnedy February 07, 2020 for Model Number 110.73102100 The pulley where the belt raps around and then gets attached to the motor to turn the drum, does not have a wheel contained in it as the replacement part.I have already purchased the belt before I took apart the cabinet, found the old belt in half, but when I went to install the new belt,I noticed it had no plastic wheel. Is it worth my time to wait and order the part you show as a replacement or can I use the old part which has no wheel
1 Answer Joe, You will want to wait until you get the idler pulley for your unit because if you do not the belt will not turn properly and it will break again. Read More...
Craig January 10, 2020 for Model Number RED4640YQ1 Dryer was squeaking. I replaced idler pully. Dryer still squeaks. What’s next?
1 Answer Craig, it is recommended that the rollers are inspected for any residues along the bearing shafts, as well as inspecting for any debris in the front felt seal, rear drum seal, and blower wheel that may be causing a squeaking noise. Read More...
Scott May 31, 2018 for Model Number LGN2000JQ0 the plastic bushing/spacer/whatever you call it, that is on the motor shaft, inside of the belt pulley melted and ended up breaking on my dryer. What was its function? Just to keep the belt from walking towards the motor? Can I just get that part? vs that all metal pulley?
1 Answer Scott, If the bushing that you are referring to is part of the idler pulley then you would need to get the idler pulley for the unit. If the part is on the motor then the motor would need replaced. Read More...
Paul Kulick October 12, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore series 80 dryer 110,76822695 Stumped, have done this before.Replaced dryer belt p.n 341241 but this time nylon idler pulley rubs up against motor pulley causing noise, it works but it is like the belt is just a quarter inch too short. afraid it will wear out help Thanks
1 Answer Paul, recheck and make sure you have the correct belt 341241 341241 or 660996, it should measure 92.25 inches in length. Make sure the belt doesn't have any twists in it ribs face down/against the drum and is outed over the drum in the proper location area of the drum. Then check and make sure the belt is routed through the opening in the idler spring assembly and onto the motor pulley properly. Recheck using the video and photos under the 341241 belt part diagram.

Jim September 08, 2015 for Model Number LGR7646JQ0 Your part AP2911909 has a roller on it. My tensioner has a piece of nylon coating that the belt rides on an is worn out. Is this a update?
1 Answer Hello Jim, This WP691366 is the early and current configuration of this part. The manufacturer thought they could profit from this new design which wasn't lasting as long as the part warranty, so it was discontinued. You will need the configuration with the rotating wheel WP691366. Read More...
Mike V. May 22, 2015 for Model Number Maytag LDG7304aae It seems the that glides wear out every few months. The drum seems smooth but the paint is worn. Tried reversing drum and same thing. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Mike, Besides the manufacturers' recommendation of replacing both glides at the same time, you can lubricate them with a dry lubricant such as baby powder or corn starch, and ensure the exhaust duct is clear with a full 4 inch diameter. The smoothness of the drum is necessary also. Read More...
