Dryer Belt

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, engineered to connect the dryer drum to the motor, allowing it to turn. This component is essential for the proper operation of your dryer, ensuring clothes are dried evenly and efficiently. Made from durable materials, the drive belt is designed to withstand the constant motion and heat of the dryer, but over time, it can wear out or break, necessitating a replacement to keep your dryer running smoothly.

The primary cause of drive belt issues is wear and tear from regular use. Over time, the belt can stretch, lose its tension, or break, resulting in a drum that no longer turns. Regularly inspecting and maintaining the drive belt can help extend its life and the overall functionality of your dryer.

Symptoms of a failing Drive Belt include:

• The dryer drum not turning, even though the motor is running
• A squealing or rubbing noise coming from the dryer when it is in use
