5304507499 - Electrolux Dryer Pulley

This Electrolux Dryer Pulley (5304507499) is a genuine part compatible with Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Westinghouse, Uni, and Crosley dryers. It serves as an essential component of your dryer's transmission system, directly coupling the motor or using belts to adjust drum rotation speed according to motor RPM. The pulley's ribbed surface ensures a firm grip on belts to prevent slippage, translating motor power into efficient drum rotation. Commonly referred to as an 'idler pulley' or 'idler arm assembly,' it also includes the idler arm, which maintains tension on the drive belt for optimal belt turning. Symptoms indicating the need for this part include a seized, bent, or broken pulley impairing the dryer's tumbling ability, as well as a squeaking or squealing noise suggesting the pulley's failure. Before purchasing, please verify your dryer's model number to ensure compatibility.
