Rather than ordering these parts one at a time as each fails, this kit lets you service the whole drum support and drive system in a single repair — the recommended approach once any one of these parts shows wear, since they all take similar stress and tend to fail in the same general time frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit includes 4 drum support rollers with metal shafts and high-strength bearings, 1 reinforced rubber drive belt, and 1 idler pulley assembly.

Remove the front panel (typically held by spring clips or screws behind the door frame) and carefully lift the drum out, supporting it so it doesn't drop or scratch the cabinet. With the drum removed, replace all 4 drum support rollers on their shafts, securing each with its retaining nut\/washer. Slip the old belt off the motor pulley and remove the old idler pulley from its mounting bracket. Install the new idler pulley, then route the new belt around the drum and motor pulley exactly as the old one was routed (photograph the belt routing before removal) — the belt typically threads under the idler pulley with the ribbed side against the drum. Reinstall the drum onto the new rollers, verify the belt sits centered and properly tensioned, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation. Tools needed: nut driver or socket set, putty knife (for spring clips, if applicable), and a camera or phone to document belt routing before disassembly.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhy buy a full kit instead of just the failed part?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThe rollers, belt, and idler pulley all experience similar wear over the dryer's life and tend to fail within a similar timeframe of each other.
