Genuine part 8581250125037 is the belt idler for a big range of Electrolux group dryers, from AEG models such as the T8DHC862B and T56800 to Electrolux EDV, EDC and EDH dryers, Simpson 39S and SDV models and the Westinghouse WDV5051. It's also known as 8581250125128, 1250125034, 4055683801 and 0197300040.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElectrolux or AEG dryer squealing? Check the idler pulley\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idler pulley sits on a spring-loaded arm near the motor and keeps the drum belt under steady tension, so the belt grips the motor pulley without slipping. Its bearing or bush works hard and runs warm, and over time it dries out. A worn idler squeals or squeaks as the drum turns, may thump or wobble, and can let the belt slip or jump off, leaving a drum that won't turn even though the motor runs. A pulley that feels rough, tight or loose on its spindle when spun by hand is due for replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 8581250125037\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso known as 8581250125128, 1250125034, 4055683801 and 0197300040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDryer belt idler pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as supplied without the red washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits AEG, Electrolux, Simpson and Westinghouse dryers on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the idler pulley\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the dryer before opening it. Depending on the model, the idler is reached by removing the front or back panel. Take a photo of the belt path around the idler and motor pulley before releasing the tension. Fit the new pulley to the arm, re-route the belt exactly as it was, and spin the drum by hand to check everything runs smoothly and quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace the belt at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a good idea if the belt is glazed, cracked or stretched, since you'll already have the dryer open. A worn idler can also damage the belt edges.
