This OEM Replacement Part is a drum support roller for dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Inglis, Maytag, and Crosley. This genuine Whirlpool part is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually. The drum support roller is responsible for securing the drum as it rotates and most dryers need two of them. It is essential to check and replace both drum support rollers to ensure proper drum rotation.

A faulty drum support roller can lead to loud squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during dryer operation. It is recommended that this medium-difficulty repair be performed with caution. The power, gas, and vent lines should be disconnected before beginning. You may need pliers, a screwdriver, a nut driver, and a wrench to complete the replacement.

Note: This part includes the drum roller only. The tri-rings must be purchased separately.

The Whirlpool drum roller axle is an OEM replacement part responsible for supporting and facilitating the rotation of the drum in the dryer. It is designed with left-hand threads, which means it turns counterclockwise to secure the rear drum roller in place. The drum roller axle serves as the pivot point for the rear drum roller, allowing the drum to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining the stability and balance of the drum, ensuring that it spins evenly and without wobbling.

The Whirlpool drum support shaft can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This part fixes the following symptoms

• Unusual noises during the drying cycle, such as squeaking, squealing, or thumping sounds
• Excessive wear or damage to the rear drum roller
• Clothes taking longer to dry than usual
• The dryer vibrating excessively or shaking during operation

The Idler Pulley Wheel & Arm Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It plays an important support role by providing additional tension on the drive belt during spin cycles to ensure balanced operation. Proper belt tension is necessary for the smooth rotation of the wash basket.  

Symptoms of a faulty assembly include:

• Vibration or shaking during high-speed spins
• Loud clunking or grinding noises from unbalanced loads  
• Premature belt wear due to insufficient tension
• Error codes related to spin function issues

Causes can be wear over time, belt slippage damaging the idler wheel, or stiffness impairing proper tensioning. 

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

The Front Drum Roller Shaft is an OEM Replacement Part designed for the support of Whirlpool dryer drums. This component features right-hand threads. It serves as the structural axis on which the drum support rollers glide to support the drum. An updated part by the OEM, this shaft may necessitate the replacement of nuts on older models. This shaft is a necessary component if your existing one exhibits flat spots or the rollers stop spinning.

Installation of this part requires a 5/16 inch socket or nut driver, a 1/4 inch socket or nut driver, a small flathead screwdriver, channel-lock pliers, and a 9/16 inch socket. Before installation, remember to disconnect your appliance from its power source. Refer to the manufacturer's diagram for further instructions. This part is compatible with select Whirlpool brand models, including Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, Kenmore, Kitchen Aid, and Maytag,

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.

The Drum Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part transfers power from the dryer's motor to the drum, enabling it to tumble. Made from durable, flexible materials, the belt wraps around the dryer drum, tension pulley, and drive motor pulley, keeping everything moving smoothly and efficiently. 

A bad Drum Drive Belt can result from fraying or wear due to regular use, leading to loss of integrity and eventual breakage, glazing causing slippage and reduced dryer efficiency, and stretching reducing tension and hindering proper drum tumbling.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Drive Belt include:

• The dryer motor running but the drum not tumbling.
• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or thumping, indicating the belt may be worn or misaligned.
• The dryer not starting at all if the belt has broken completely.

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