Kenmore / Sears Dryer Belt

This poly-V dryer drum drive belt wraps around the drum and pulleys to transfer motor power for tumbling. Replace a stretched, glazed, or broken belt to restore drum rotation and consistent drying performance.

• Transfers motor rotation to the drum for steady, even tumbling
• If broken, the motor may run but the drum won't turn
• Worn or slipping belts can cause squealing, thumping, or a burning rubber smell
• Cracks, frayed ribs, or glazing are visual signs the belt needs replacement

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove top/front panels and support the drum to access the belt path
• Loop the new belt around the drum and route/tension it per the unit's belt diagram with the idler and motor pulleys
• Spin the drum by hand to check tracking before reassembly and test run

The Belt is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool clothes dryers. This belt transfers power from the motor to the drum, causing it to spin and gently tumble dry clothes.

Causes of belt failure typically relate to normal wear and tear over thousands of dryer cycles. As belts constantly rotate under tension, cracks and looseness can develop which affects their ability to grip smoothly. Physical damage from improper installation is another potential cause.

Symptoms of a worn or broken belt include:

• An unbalanced or off-center drum that wobbles during operation
• Loud squealing, screeching or grinding noises
• The motor runs but the drum does not spin
• Damp or partially dried clothes after a full cycle

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

This drive belt transfers the motor's rotation to the appliance's drive system so moving parts turn as intended. Replacing a stretched, cracked, or broken belt restores smooth operation and helps prevent slipping or squealing during cycles.

• Transfers motor power to the driven component (drum, pump, or transmission—varies by model)
• Maintains proper friction and tension across pulleys for consistent rotation
• Wear or stretch can cause slipping, noise, or loss of motion
• Common symptoms: no spin/tumble, intermittent movement, squealing/chirping, burning-rubber smell, visible cracks/fraying

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Access the belt path per your model's service information and note routing before removal
• Route the new belt over the motor and idler/driven pulleys; rotate by hand to seat and align
• Inspect pulleys/tensioner and bearings; replace any worn parts to prevent premature belt wear

The Dryer Belt (Flat Style) is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley, enabling the drum to spin when the motor is running.

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.

This poly-V blower belt links the motor to the blower wheel to move air through the appliance. Replacing a worn or broken belt restores proper airflow and helps maintain reliable drying/venting performance. What it does:

• Transfers motor rotation to the blower/impeller to circulate air
• Helps maintain proper airflow through the cabinet and exhaust
• Common failure signs include weak or no airflow at the vent, longer run times, or safety shutdown from poor airflow
• Physical clues: belt broken, frayed, glazed, stretched, or squealing from the blower area

• 1 poly-V blower belt

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas supply before servicing
• Access varies by model; remove panels or blower cover to reach the belt
• Note routing; seat belt ribs in pulley grooves and ensure correct tracking
• Rotate the blower by hand to confirm alignment before reassembly and test run
