Title	Whirlpool WED87HED Idler Pulley Arm Replacement
Introduction	Use this guide to replace the idler pulley arm on your Whirlpool Duet WED87HED dryer. The idler pulley arm supports the idler pulley on the shaft mounted to the arm. This pulley provides tension to the drive belt by means of the idler arm spring. If the idler pulley has failed, many times is is also necessary to replace the idler pulley shaft which is mounted on the idler pulley arm. In this case, it is simpler to obtain the pre-assembled unit and replace both components at once. The failure of either component will result in the drum not spinning correctly or drive belt failure. This repair is fairly straightforward. It is rated difficult mainly because of the number of steps and because of a couple of difficult steps among those.
