Whirlpool Cabrio dryer tensioner pulley upgrade

thingiverse

Replace your dryer's noisy tensioner pulley with a new, quieter one by ordering two $6 bearings and printing the required parts for a cost-effective fix. The Dynaroll R-Series Bearing (R8-2RS) is a suitable choice, with specifications including a 0.5-inch bore diameter, 1.125-inch outside diameter, and 0.3125-inch bearing width. To install, print the pieces at 50% fill with two shells, press fit the bearing, install the pulley, remove the idler arm if necessary to file or sand the 1/2" rod for better fitting, and secure it with a retaining clip. Enjoy your quieter dryer operation after following these instructions.
