Samsung 6009-001342 Dryer Idler Arm Mounting Screw OEM Part

I was able to find a video on U-Tube that walked me thru the disassembly and reassembly of the dryer. The whole process only took an hour and at the same time I was able to vacuum out the inside of the unit . The part delivery was unbelievable fast which made the down time minimal

Internet search said common issue was the idle pulley bearing failure. I ordered parts blind so got a belt tension spring and the pulley. I did use the video to take it apart. My model was slightly different but as I am a mechanic by trade I figured it out. The internet was correct the idler pulley was the issue but the shaft was also damaged a little from pulley bearing not working. I was able to clean up shaft and I applied an axle grease when reassembling. I plan on ordering a new belt and idler bracket so if it does go out again parts are on hand. As a note the idler pulley is held on by a plastic triangle clip which is reusable but would order an extra if only doing the pulley. It took longer to get the dryer off the stand and put it back on stand than to do repair, 1 hour total.

I took it apart to see what parts I wanted to replace. The offending part was the idler Pulley, easy to tell when I spun it. I replaced it, and while I had it apart I also replaced the Drum rollers, and dryer belt (it was the correct length) which was a great fit. All parts were an exact fit. Also, They have a video on the replacement, it was a great help, except that when putting the spring back on the idler pulley arm, watch the way it comes off, which is correct. He swaps ends when he puts it back on, and on my dryer it wouldn't clear properly. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros.

Had to drill out broken screw. Removed old pieces with center punch. Ran tap thru threads. installed new screw.

Replaced drum support rollers, idler pulley assembly and belt
