Customer Questions and Answers for Drive Belt by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18062250
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10388414

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool front load washing machines. It transmits power from the wash motor to rotate the tub assembly, tumbling clothes during cycles. The belt is designed with deep grooves to securely grip the motor and tub pulleys. It measures 48.22” long uninstalled and will stretch to 51.53” when installed.

Causes of a bad Drive Belt can include cracks developing from repeated flexing during operation or stretching over many years. Debris trapped in the belt path can also wear down the belt prematurely.

Symptoms of a bad belt include:

  • The washing tub failing to spin or agitate clothes
  • Abnormally loud squealing noises from inside the machine
  • The belt slipping off pulleys during cycles

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore front load washers.

Answer

Hello Donna. No, there are no special tools needed, but the belt WPW10388414 is very tight. Start the belt on the motor pulley and roll it onto the large pulley. Once you start rolling it onto the large pulley, make sure you hold the belt against the pulley and use both hands to walk the pulley around.
