Dryer Idler Pulley For: Whirlpool DE7160, 8547160, WPW10547292, W10547292

Dryer Idler Pulley For: Whirlpool DE7160, 8547160, WPW10547292, W10547292

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before servicing. Belt tension can be strong; release it before removing the idler assembly.

Restore proper belt tension with this ERP replacement idler and bracket assembly for compatible Whirlpool 29-inch cabinet Cabrio dryers. The idler pulley keeps the drive belt tight; a worn or seized pulley lets the belt slip, squeal, or come off entirely, leaving the drum turning unevenly or not at all. The assembly measures 10-1/4 x 7-3/4 x 2 inches and is a direct replacement for the listed part numbers. Verify the complete dryer model and original part number before ordering.
