Maytag Dryer Loose Motor Pulley

[culdbbi]

Bought the dryer used, drum stopped spinning on xmas. Thought it was the belt, took it apart to confirm, but the belt was tight. Went back to the computer to see what else it could be, as the motor sounded like it was on but drum wouldn’t spin. The dryer had been squealing for a few days, so typed in the new symptoms and came up with checking the glides. Well one glide bracket was broken and the other one was almost worn through. It appeared as if the glides had been worn enough that the drum cut through the brackets. I got the new brackets and glides today, and put everything together. I put two glides per bracket just as the old ones were even though they looked thicker, its a tight fit between the glides and the felt at the door, but I thought it would work. I tried to turnon the dryer and still the drum won’t spin. I really am no repairperson, but I thought I would go a little further, so I have taken everything back apart, including taking out the drum. I turned on the dryer to confirm if the motor could really spin, as I could do it by hand. With nothing attached the motor spins, but I think I found the problem. I have seen other people post something similar with no response (not on this forum) so I’m hoping to get one. Finally to what I think the problem is, the pulley on the motor is loose. It spins free of the motor shaft. I would think that the pulley is supposed to be tight to the shaft so it moves when the motor spins. It doesn’t appear that the pulley comes off or that it has a set screw. It appears to be apart of the motor as one assembly according to the parts site as I can see it as part of the motor, but no seperate part number. So long story for a short question, but wanted to make sure I didn’t miss something in the mean time, can this pulley be replaced seperate from the motor? I believe it was once part of the design that it could be, but it appears that the newer motors don’t really allow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
