Whirlpool W10837240 Idler Pulley W/Bracket for Dryer

The Whirlpool W10837240 Dryer Idler Pulley with Bracket is responsible for maintaining proper belt tension to support the rotation of the dryer drum. It functions by minimizing friction between the drive belt and the drum, which aids in the motor's operation. During the drying process, the idler pulley keeps the belt properly aligned and helps prevent slippage, promoting consistent performance. This part contributes to reducing wear on both the belt and the motor, which can help prolong the overall lifespan of the appliance. Additionally, it assists in lowering noise and vibration levels during use, making it a key component in the drying cycle. Its solid construction is intended for reliable performance over time.
