FAQs
Is this part compatible with non-Zanussi dryers?
No, this specific part is engineered for Zanussi Z100-MD and 110R series tumble dryers.
How do I know if the jockey pulley is the issue?
Common signs include excessive squealing sounds, the belt slipping, or the drum failing to rotate despite the motor running.
What is the equivalent OEM part number?
This part is equivalent to the manufacturer part number 1250125034.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Generally, you only need standard household tools such as screwdrivers or a socket set to access the internal panel and remove the pulley retaining bolt.
How often should the pulley be replaced?
There is no set schedule, but it should be replaced whenever there is audible grinding or visible wear on the wheel surface.
Troubleshooting
Drum still makes noise after replacement
Check if the belt is seated correctly and verify that the pulley bolt is tightened but not overtightened, which could prevent free rotation.
Belt keeps slipping off the pulley
Check the alignment of the motor, the tensioner arm, and the drum itself; a misaligned mounting bracket may need adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this pulley wheel, first disconnect the dryer from the main power supply for safety. Access the internal mechanics by removing the rear or top panel depending on your specific model. Secure the old pulley, note the orientation of the mounting hardware, and install the Paxanpax replacement. Ensure the belt is seated centrally on the new wheel after installation. This part is compatible with Zanussi Z100-MD and 110R series units. Regular care involves ensuring the pulley spins freely and is free of lint build-up during your biannual dryer maintenance check.
