131863007 special pully

technical specification

• Total part components: It comes as a compact kit that includes the rotating pulley (Idler Wheel), small spindle (Shaft), and metal support arm (Idler Arm/Bracket). 
• Basic mechanical function: Maintain constant and continuous tension of the main dryer belt (belt) to prevent it from slipping, as well as guide and align the belt between the motor pulley and the large drying drum.
• Material of manufacture:
  • Primary arm: Solid iron treated to resist bending under tension spring pressure.
  • Rotary pulley: Durable, high-quality friction-resistant plastic with an internal bushing that ensures continuous fast rotation with minimal resistance.

Common methods of use

• Treatment of squeaking and chirping sounds: This is the most common use; When the inner bushing of the plastic pulley wears out or its grease dries due to the accumulated heat of the dryer, the dryer begins to make a sound similar to "birds chirping" at first, then turns into a sharp and continuous squeak throughout the drying cycle. Replacing the kit eliminates this noise immediately. 
• Fix "Engine running but pot not rotating" fault: This kit is used to solve the problem of the dryer drum not rotating even though the motor sound is heard normally. This malfunction occurs when the plastic pulley breaks or the arm slackens, causing the belt to fall out of place and lose the ability to rotate the drum. 
• Treatment for sudden dryer shutdown: In smart models, if the tensioner lever breaks and the belt falls, the lever bounces to press a small safety switch that completely disconnects electricity from the dryer and prevents it from starting to protect the engine from free rotation without load; The installation of this new kit is used to reconnect operating safety.
• Protect the drying process from tearing and cutting: The old tensioner is replaced when the technician notices resistance or roughness while manually rotating the pulley. This is because the semi-stopped (hardened) pulley causes sharp friction with the rubber belt, leading to rapid wear and breakage. The new installation ensures smooth movement and a longer life.
