This straightforward repair can be done in just a few minutes if you have the right tools and parts. In this DIY guide, we&#8217;ll walk through the entire process of replacing the dryer drum belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lOSeJYeh3ug\"><b>Watch the full repair<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model. We recommend consulting your manufacturer&#8217;s documentation or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/repair-help\/\"> <b>contact us<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the belt for?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The drum belt is a rubber belt that wraps around the dryer drum and connects it to the drive motor. When the motor spins, it turns the drum belt, which rotates the drum. This allows your clothes to tumble around evenly during the drying cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, the drum belt can become cracked, frayed, or stretched out. This can prevent the drum from turning smoothly. Replacing the worn belt with a new one is an easy fix that will have your dryer tumbling like normal again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Materials needed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this repair, you&#8217;ll need:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phillips screwdriver<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\/16 inch nut driver<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New drum belt (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/whirlpool-belt-tumbler-wpy312959-ap6024192.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">part # WPY312959<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gloves for protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before beginning any appliance repair, make sure to unplug the dryer or turn off the appropriate circuit breaker. This will prevent electric shock while you work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let&#8217;s go through the steps to safely replace the dryer drum belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the front panel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is accessing the inside of the dryer by removing the front panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws located at the bottom outer corners of the front panel.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once unscrewed, lift up slightly on the panel while pulling the bottom outward. This will release the panel from the top clips.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully lower the panel down, supporting it so it doesn&#8217;t fall. The wiring harness connecting the panel is long enough for you to lay the panel safely off to the side.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the front panel removed, you can now access the drum belt area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the bulkhead<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bulkhead is the large metal panel behind the front panel. Removing it will give you clear access to the belt and pulleys.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a 5\/16-inch nut driver to remove the four screws securing the bulkhead. They are located at the top and bottom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before removing the panel, release the wire clip holder attached to it. This will allow the wiring harness to move freely when you take the bulkhead off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the screws and clip removed, carefully lift the bulkhead panel off the supports. Tilt it outward, being cautious of any wiring. Set the panel safely aside.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the old belt<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the bulkhead out of the way, you can now remove the old, worn drum belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach into the dryer and locate the idler pulley. This pulley helps maintain tension on the belt. Grab the idler pulley arm and pull it towards you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the idler pulley pulled, use your other hand to roll the belt off the motor drive pulley and then the idler pulley.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once detached from the pulleys, you can reach further into the dryer and loop the belt around the drum to remove it completely. Slide the old belt out from the dryer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect the new replacement drum belt and note how it differs from the worn, old one. Ensure you have the correct part before moving on to installing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install the new belt<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installation of the new Whirlpool dryer drum belt is the reverse of removal.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the new belt and wrap it around the outside of the dryer drum. Make sure the smooth side is against the drum. Position it in the belt groove at the back of the drum.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach into the dryer and grasp the idler pulley arm. Pull it towards you to release tension.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your other hand, loop the belt around the idler pulley, making sure it isn&#8217;t twisted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still holding the idler pulley, wrap the belt around the motor drive pulley as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully release the idler pulley to tension the belt. Ensure the belt is seated correctly around each pulley and the drum.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spin the drum manually to confirm the smooth operation. Re-seat the belt as needed if any slipping occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reassemble the dryer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the new drum belt installed, you can now reassemble the dryer.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before replacing the bulkhead, reattach the wire clip holder in its original position. This keeps the wiring harness tidy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding the bulkhead panel, orient it correctly and slide it onto the support tabs. Make sure no wires get pinched.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Align the screw holes and reinstall the four 5\/16-inch screws with the nut driver. Make sure they are securely tightened.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swing the front panel back into place, aligning the tabs with the slots. Push it up so the clips engage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the Phillips head screwdriver, reinstall the two screws at the bottom of the panel. Tighten them up securely.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check that the front panel is aligned evenly with no gaps before moving to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More information<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for reading!
