Whirlpool Dryer Spring Parts

The Idler Arm Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, maintains tension in the dryer's belt system. This spring is crucial for the proper operation of the dryer, as it helps to keep the belt tight around the drum and motor pulley, enabling the drum to rotate smoothly during cycles.  

Causes of a bad Idler Arm Spring can include stretching or weakening over time due to constant tension, or breakage from wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad Idler Arm Spring include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or squealing 
• The dryer drum may not rotate smoothly or may stop turning altogether  
• Clothes take longer to dry, or you may notice uneven drying 
• The dryer might not start if the belt is disengaged due to insufficient tension.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Spring installs inside the gas pressure regulator assembly on gas dryers. Replace if lost during conversion between natural gas and propane fuel types.

• Provides tension to counterbalance the dishwasher door for smooth, controlled opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling excessively heavy
• Common failure signs include a door that drops suddenly, won't stay partially open, or makes snapping/spring noises
• Visual signs may include a stretched, broken, or missing spring

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power; if working on a built-in dishwasher, also shut off water and support the door
• Springs are under tension—use eye protection and gloves, and release/attach carefully
• Access is typically behind the lower/toe panel; note original spring routing and hole positions before removal
• Inspect related door linkage/cords and hinge brackets; replace any worn components to maintain proper balance
