The picture above says 1.8 inches which clearly is wrong, that would make the width almost as long as the diameter** A: If I remember right the width is about 3/4” **Q: Do these have the oil impregnated center bushing like the original?** A: yes it does, this is just like the one I replaced. although, before I replaced it, I put a little grease on the shaft. works like new! **Q: Does this fit whirlpool model wed8540fwo** A: No it did not. I ended up buying the part that was already attached to the metal bracket. That way I didn't have to worry about whether the pully would fit over the existing bracket. Worked like a charm! **Q: Willthis part work with my whirlpool cabrio dryer wed5500xwo** A: this part is generic to whirlpool dryer with a rotating tumbler. this part is not an exact match to the original but the size is the same so it worked on my dryer and it fixed the problem..the best way to find out is to open the access panel on your dryer and use a flash light to see what yours look like. that's what I did. ## Frequently Bought Together - 279640 Dryer Idler Pulley Replacement Part By DR Quality Parts - Compatible for Whirlpool & Kenmore Dryer - Replaces 697692, AP3094197, W10468057 - WPW10314173 W10314173 Dryer Drum Support Roller Kit Dryer Drum Rollers Replaces W10314171 8536973 8536974 AP6019303 PS11752609 Suitable for maytag kenmore whirlpool kitchenaid Dryers-4PCS - BlueStars 661570 3387610 Dryer Drum Belt - Compatible with Whirlpool Kenmore Dryers - Replaces AP5983729 661570V 3389728 3393999 PS11722115 WED94HEXW0 WED94HEXW1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/67078390-279640-dryer-idler-pulley](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/67078390-279640-dryer-idler-pulley) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
