Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly
The idler pulley maintains tension on the drive belt; its internal ball bearings are prone to drying out and seizing under high heat. This creates a high-pitched metal-on-metal squeak as the belt drags across the stationary or struggling pulley. Replacing the entire arm and pulley assembly ensures the tension spring and bearing are both refreshed.

Drum Support Roller
Samsung dryers use four rollers to support the drum; when the internal bushings wear thin, the drum oscillates unevenly, causing a rhythmic chirping or squeaking. This part is a frequent co-failure with the idler pulley and is often the cause of noise that changes pitch with load weight.

Dryer Drive Belt
While less likely to cause a 'squeak' than a pulley, a glazed or frayed belt can slip against the motor shaft pulley, creating a momentary screeching sound during startup. It is standard practice to replace the belt if the idler pulley has failed, as the friction heat from a seized pulley often damages the belt's integrity.
