This Part Fixes These Problems

Drum Won't Spin

Seized or broken idler pulley loses tension on the drive belt, causing the drum to stop rotating entirely even though the motor still runs.

Squealing / Screeching Noise

A worn or dry idler pulley wheel generates loud squealing or screeching during every cycle as the belt drags across the failed bearing surface.

Rumbling or Thumping Sound

A collapsed or cracked idler pulley creates an uneven contact surface that produces rumbling or rhythmic thumping as the drum turns.

Drive Belt Keeps Slipping Off

Without proper tension from a functional idler assembly the drive belt loses its path and repeatedly slips off the drum or motor pulley.

Dryer Vibrates Excessively

A stuck or damaged idler assembly prevents the belt from rotating the drum smoothly, causing the entire appliance to vibrate or shake during operation.

🛡️

💰

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Idler Assembly the Problem?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer drum stops spinning mid-cycle or refuses to start tumbling

⚠️ Loud squealing, screeching, or rumbling noise during operation

⚠️ Drive belt slips off the drum or motor pulley repeatedly

⚠️ Visible cracks, flat spots, or seized rotation on the idler pulley wheel

🔍 Quick Check: Reach inside the dryer cabinet and try spinning the idler pulley by hand. If it grinds, wobbles, or won't spin freely, the assembly needs replacement. Pro tip: while the dryer is open, also inspect the drive belt and idler spring — replacing all three at once saves a second service call.

Questions & Answers

Does this assembly include the idler tension spring?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
No — the idler tension spring is sold separately and is not included in this listing. Part number 37001287 covers only the idler arm and pulley wheel assembly. We recommend ordering the spring at the same time since the dryer must be disassembled for either repair.
Will this fit my Maytag MDE508DAYW dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes. The 37001287 / WP37001287 idler assembly is a confirmed fit for the Maytag MDE508DAYW and many other Maytag MDE/MDG series dryers. Please verify your full model number against our compatibility list before ordering, or contact us with your model number and we will confirm fitment.
My dryer makes a loud squealing noise — is the idler assembly likely to blame?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Squealing is one of the most common symptoms of a failing idler pulley. The pulley bearing wears out over time and generates friction noise as the drive belt runs over it. Reach into the cabinet and spin the idler pulley by hand — if it grinds, wobbles, or resists turning, replacement is needed. We also suggest inspecting the drum support rollers, as they can produce similar sounds.
Is this a genuine OEM Whirlpool part?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
No — this is a high-quality aftermarket replacement part, not an OEM product. It is manufactured to match the specifications of OEM part WP37001287 and is designed as a direct drop-in replacement. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Whirlpool Corporation.
What other parts should I replace at the same time as the idler assembly?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Since the dryer must be substantially disassembled to access the idler assembly, it is a smart opportunity to also replace the drive belt and idler tension spring while everything is open. Many technicians also recommend inspecting or replacing the drum support rollers at the same time, as these wear at a similar rate and share the same labor access.
