WE03X30657 General Electric Idler Arm

The Idler Arm is an essential OEM part designed for use in GE dryers, including models from brands such as Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This component plays a crucial role in transferring power from the motor to facilitate the dryer drum's tumbling action. It ensures the belt operates smoothly and consistently, allowing the drum to function effectively throughout each cycle.

Signs of a malfunctioning idler arm assembly may include:

- Squealing or grinding noises from the area around the dryer motor or drum
- The dryer drum failing to rotate or rotating slowly
- A loose, cracked, or visibly worn idler pulley
- A dryer belt that appears worn or is slipping

The idler arm can fail due to normal wear and tear after prolonged use. Additionally, excessive vibration from an unbalanced load or an object accidentally dropped inside the dryer might damage this part.

This idler arm is also compatible with specific dryer models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
