Stop the squealing in my dryer!
My dryer was making a loud squealing noise even after I changed the drum belt and the rollers. I purchased this pulley thinking that this was the problem. To my surprise, once I put it on the squealing stopped and my dryer is running perfectly. It installed quick and easy and my laundry room is quiet again.

Tight fit to install the pulley onto the shaft but otherwise fine
This part looked like and measured closely to the original part on my Kenmore dryer. The only issue I had was that the inner diameter of this pulley was a tight fit over the outer portion of the shaft where the triangular retaining ring fits. It was a struggle to get it past this part of the shaft but once on, the pulley worked fine and the dryer is working fine.

Poor Quality Control.
Despite comments and various poor reviews I thought I would take a chance on this product. "It wasFriday when my Whirlpool Duet Stream dryer started squeaking. Amazon delivered in one day so why not?After disassembling my dryer to install this part, like others I discovered it would not fit. The bushing in the pulley was too small by several thousands of an inch and refused to fit. In desperation I used a half inch drill bit and carefully removed a few thousands of an inch of material and it slipped on. I reassembled everything and it worked with no squeak. However the quality control is poor, the material of the bushing is not the same as the original, and based on other reviews I don't expect it to last. I will be ordering the OEM whirlpool part and be ready when this part fails.
