The Belt is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. It is a crucial component that transfers the rotational motion from the dryer's motor to the drum, enabling the tumbling action that facilitates efficient drying.
Causes of a bad belt can include excessive wear and tear due to prolonged use, exposure to high temperatures, or improper installation. A damaged or worn-out belt can lead to various issues with the dryer's performance.
Symptoms of a bad belt include:
- The drum is not spinning or rotating properly
- Squeaking or grinding noises during the operation
- Visible cracks, fraying, or signs of damage on the belt
- Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying completely
This OEM part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
