Washer/Dryer Pulley Assembly Overview

The pulley assembly is a genuine OEM part designed for Frigidaire washing machines, and it also fits models from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and certain Kenmore appliances. This component is crucial for driving the tub's rotation during the washing cycles.

Common issues with pulley assemblies arise from regular wear and tear after many cycles, belts breaking and subsequently damaging the pulleys, corrosion due to moisture, or physical impacts that cause dents or other damage. These problems can prevent the assembly from functioning smoothly.

When a pulley assembly is failing, several signs may be noticeable. The tub may struggle to turn or agitate clothes properly. There could be unusual grinding or squealing noises indicating a pulley is stuck. The machine might also have difficulty handling heavy loads if normal agitation is compromised. Additionally, the fasteners on the pulley may become loose or detach completely.

It's important to address these issues promptly to maintain the washer's performance and longevity.
