It works
I purchased this part from this company before. It works fine, but it only lasts for about a year. The part was inexpensive so I bought 2. It's not that hard to swap out (well, not on my dryer, anyway.)

Exactly what it says.
Replaced a pulley in a dryer that sounded like a banshee shrieking whenever we ran it. Now it's whisper-quiet. The part fit, and was exactly what was needed.

Poor Quality Control.
Despite comments and various poor reviews I thought I would take a chance on this product. "It was Friday 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.
