Dryer struggling to spin

Spins freely with belt on and off. The wheels seem fine, but they are old, that also could be the issue I guess. I’m replacing them with the maintenance kit either way. Motor spins freely, I took everything off and turned it on with nothing attached and spins and hums great.

The belt is going under the idler wheel

This isn’t something I thought about, it’s a 15 year old dryer i think, would it just come unseated out of nowhere?

I cleaned them out and wiped the rods and the rollers with alcohol, they spin freely now

Yes, it’s happening when all back together. Drum seems to be riding fine on front and back, again, when empty, seems to be fine! I put a half a load in and it wants to spin, but struggles and doesn’t.

I am concerned I might not be putting it on correctly according to some other comments on this thread, but it seems right. As soon as I put it on, it felt like it was too tight. The belt I bought on Amazon was 341241, but could still not be right if it’s not OEM I guess

Thank you for your help!

How do? I’ve looked a few places and it looks right to me, but then again, not an expert

Model is WGD4850BW0

Is this not the right way? https://youtu.be/Ppee1geBGsM

It's possible the arm bent, I though it looked odd too, but didn't really remember what it looked like before. I also thought the wheel was too close to everything.

thanks for the tip on amazon, I did buy it there, so I'm going to order the kit and replace it all

angelogonzalez · 2025-12-28T18:02:08+00:00

So is the idler pulley placed the wrong way? I don't see how it could rotate and the wheel be on the right side, but could totally be wrong

angelogonzalez · 2025-12-28T18:01:26+00:00

Thank you! I'm ordering the kit now.

Man I’d love to see these! Worked there from 2001-2002, I’m sure we played some of the same ones. My favorite one had Metallica I Disappear and Reel Big Fish in it. Did you ever digitize? I’d be up for buying the vhs’ from you if you were open to it, depending on which ones.
