Indesit Tumble Dryer Jockey Pulley Wheel C00113879

Brought as tumble dryer was squeaking found out jockey wheel had snapped

I purchased this item when my tumble dryer broke down half way through a cycle which was a really big inconvenience. After stripping down the machine and finding out this part was broken i took to here to order this replacement part. When it arrived the item was well packaged and on closer inspection i was very happy with the quality of the part. The wheel is by far a better quality material than the original item and the bearing was able to allow the wheel to run freely. Once this product was installed i was very impressed with how well it fitted with no need to alter or change anything which i have had to do on previous replacement parts i have ordered for domestic appliances. Once the machine was put back together i was surprised how quiet the machine had become prior to the repairs being undertaken.

Next day delivery, all good. The wheel received must be an upgrade of the one removed. Stronger design with proper bearing, same size, same bracket. I was pleased I went for the more expensive genuine part item! I found the defective wheel when changing the drive belt. I also found the impeller cooling fan cracked (so worth checking before assembly). I had no problem changing the wheel. With the new belt already fitted (this requires removal of top, sides, strut, condenser, impeller, impeller ducting and some electric cables disconnection), the wheel with bracket can be fitted by just removing the top and right side, impeller and impeller ducting and fan. Remove the old bracket and wheel then place the new one in place and insert the nearest bolt. Leave it slightly loose, make sure the hook is inserted in the motor cooling hole. Place the belt correctly on the motor shaft and around the new wheel. Then press down on the new wheel until the belt tensions and the other bolt hole is aligned. Insert the bolt and tighted both. Check the belt is still correctly located on the motor drive shaft and drum. At this stage I connected the power and let the drum rotate a few times, making sure the belt stayed in position. Disconnect power. Refit impeller fan assembly, side and top. Job done!

The first wheel recurved was correct but broken. Issue fixed quickly with a replacement received within a few days. Weirdly the replacement fitted but was of a different design. Fitting was very easy - just 2 bolts. Machine is working perfectly now.

I thought our tumble dryer motor had seized. The drum wouldn't turn at all. After watching a video tutorial I opened up the dryer and took a good look around. The band had become loose and snagged under the jockey wheel due to excessive play in the jockey wheel. Fitting the new jockey wheel was straight forward but stretching the band back was very difficult (I hear there is a specific tool to do this, pricey no doubt). I found it best to let the dryer run for a few minutes with the belt loosely in place. This applied heat to the belt making it pliable and easier to handle. Remember to check if you need a new belt when ordering a jockey wheel. Removing the drum enough to slip over a new belt is fiddley and watch out for the very sharp edges (I didn't, ouch). I'd recommend having a go before calling out a repair agent or buying a replacement machine. Just be careful, go slowly and prepare for a reasonable test of strength.

Plastic felt very brittle, very bad design. Installed the new pulley and used the dryer twice. Squeaky as soon as dryer was used. And piece of plastic broke on the edge of wheel. As you can see on the pictures. The wheel has literally melted away after being used twice. Although it’s a genuine part I would recommend the upgraded version with a proper wheel bearing.

Received this product after 5 working days (1 day after the earliest date of delivery so not bad!) - Product seemed very sturdy and comparing this with the suspected faulty part quickly made me realize the offender of my broken tumble dryer was indeed the jockey wheel. Right to do this, you will need to remove the top and the side panel (Phillips screwdriver and a lot or force needed for the top). Once removed you then remove the plastic housing for the fan (use a flat head to loosen all the inserts) and the fan itself (Pliers needed for Jubilee clip removal before removing fan). Once removed you'll see the belt over the jockey wheel, used an 8mm socket to remove both bolts then re-seat the new wheel and lock in bolts again. Right now for the HARD PART - Re-seating the belt over the wheel is a very tough process you need to ensure you get enough slack just to seat a tiny bit of it over the jockey wheel, once you have then spin the drum so the rest of the belt will follow you should hear a loud knock which is just the belt catching onto the wheel. I sat there afterwards for about 2-3 minutes spinning it both ways to ensure the belt would not come off. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Watching a Youtube tutorial on how to do this (Seriously DON'T attempt without doing so), I am probably the biggest noob at fixing things or even general DIY but after watching E-spares tutorial video on how to replace this i done it within about 30-45 minutes.

I bought a second hand dryer that made an awful noise. We replaced this and the impeller fan for less than £30 and it works brilliantly now. YouTube videos help too

TUTTO PERFETTO

Sehr gut...haben die Rolle gewechselt. Trockner funktioniert wieder tadellosm

La piece n'est pas exactement la meme que celle qui a laché.... Elle est bien mieux ! Elle est montée sur un axe equipé d'un roulement serré par un ecrou, ce qui rst très qualitatif. Niveau bruit RAS. J'ai reparé mon seche linge pour 17 euros !

C'est le genre de produit que j'adore ! Un sèche qui ne fonctionne plus. Après démontage, la courroie est sortie de sa poulie, on la remet avec difficulté. Le sèche refonctionne pendant un temps puis re problème. Une analyse plus approfondie montre que la poulie est en cause : lorsque le tambour tourne dans un sens pas de problème, quand le sens s'inverse, la poulie se désaxe visiblement et la courroie saute. Une fois démontée, on peut voir que la poulie en plastique s'est déformée sur son axe en métal. Le bonheur c'est de trouver la pièce défaillante neuve sur amazon (vendeur tierce Spares4Appliances, fiable et rapide). Le mieux c'est de la recevoir et de s'apercevoir que l'intérieur de la poulie en contact avec l'axe en métal est maintenant aussi en métal, le problème est donc connu et la pièce a été renforcé. Le sèche linge n'a pas fini de tourner ! Un tournevis, une clé de 8mm et une poulie à 15€ livrée et pas plus d'une 1/2h pour réparer soit même son sèche, internet ça a du bon quand même =)
