Installation Location: Inside the dryer cabinet at the belt-idler / tensioner mechanism.
Function: Applies spring force to the idler mechanism so the drum drive belt maintains proper tension.
Specific Identification Details: Exact fit is determined by the complete appliance model, installation position and OEM part number.
Critical Fit / Identification Details: Match the complete dryer model, spring length/tension, hook geometry, idler attachment points and OEM part number.
Manufacturer Part Numbers / Cross-References: WE1M735
What This Listing Includes: One genuine OEM WE1M735 idler spring.
Model Evidence Note: Model-first verification is required; no incomplete model list is presented as a complete fit list.
Compatibility Basis: Exact OEM part number, appliance application and model-first verification.
Correct Part / Compatibility Check: Confirm that WE1M735 (or a verified manufacturer cross-reference shown above) is specified for the complete appliance model, then match the exact installation position and identification details before ordering.
Distinguish From Similar Parts: Idler springs, motor springs and door springs can look similar but have different lengths, tension rates and hook geometry.
Possible Related Symptoms / Reasons to Inspect: A loose belt, belt slippage or an idler arm that does not maintain tension may justify inspection after checking the belt and pulley.
Important Safety / Service Note: Disconnect dryer power before opening the cabinet; belt and spring components can be under tension.
Ordering Note: Symptoms can identify a system to inspect, but they do not prove this specific component is defective. Confirm the exact OEM part number and model-specific parts diagram/service information before ordering.
