I replaced this part - Samsung Dryer Idler Pulley - with a cheap knockoff version a few months ago. That cheap version quickly failed because it had only a bronze sleeve bearing mounted in a cheap plastic pulley. The sleeve bearing generated high heat, deforming the plastic pulley and scoring the bearing. Screech, screech, screech. The wife was not happy. Back to square one. Then I saw your ad for a redesigned replacement using permanently lubricated and sealed ball or roller bearings with an upgraded plastic roller pulley. What a difference! The part fit perfectly and so far has given trouble free service. I expect it will last several years due to its design with sealed and lubricated bearings which don't generate the high heat that bronze sleeve bearings do. So if you are contemplating replacing this part in your Samsung Dryer, do yourself a huge favor and buy the genuine Samsung idler pulley with the sealed ball or roller bearings. It costs a little more than some of the knockoffs to be found on the internet, but considering how much work it is to tear your dryer apart, you will thank yourself many times over for this wise choice. As will your spouse.Read full review

Better than the original! mine locked up and shredded the belt because of the flawed design of previous model (lack of bearing had a metal bushing instead) so after replacing this and a new belt my Samsung dryer is as good as new!

This belt tensioner was very easy to put in and worked great. Took about twenty minutes to change out.

This part was an exact match for my Samsung dryer. Quality and fitment was as expected not a cheaper version of the OE.

After replacing several failed idler pulleys, it was a great relief to find this updated design with a sealed roller bearing.
