Very easy repair.
The part was received as promised. Removal of old idler arm and installation of the new one together with belt replacement took less than an hour in total and the dryer works like new again.

loud squeaking noise from dryer
This is a combo washer/dryer. First, I replaced the Idler Arm pulley but the noise didn't stop - it was easy to replace with two screws holding a access panel door in the back of the unit. Next I had to take off the front of the dryer unit to access the drum bearing and replace the dryer belt. There were many screws and electrical connections to remove. After replacing the drum bearing, there was a plate on the back that had to be held while attaching the screws from the front. Since I was alone, I taped the plate in place to hold it while I attached the screws.

Squealing
Customer responses / directions were great nothing to add - except no where does anyone mention "high temperature grease" for the Drum Support Bearing - only on the video is it mentioned numerous times. I honestly think it took longer to vacuum out all the lint then it did to do the repairs.

dryer belt came off, pulley seems ok but belt still has too much slack, after reinstalling..spring tension from pulley plenty strong enough..could belt be stretched after 6 years.
For model number 417.61722510
Hello Richard, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend replacing the belt, part number PS1148434. After 3 to 5 years of usage, the belt gets susceptible to wear and tear and can damage other parts like the idler arm. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.
