Customer Questions and Answers for Drive Belt (3L) by Ge

This 3L-profile drive belt transfers motor power to the appliance's pulley system so driven components operate as designed. Replacing a worn or slipping belt restores reliable motion and helps eliminate squealing or burning-rubber odors.

• Transfers motor rotation to the drive system via the pulleys
• Enables proper movement of driven components
• A stretched or glazed belt can slip, causing weak or no motion
• Common signs include squealing/chirping sounds, a hot or burnt-rubber smell, or visible cracks/glazing on the belt

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing; wear gloves
• Access the belt from the bottom or rear by removing the appropriate panel(s)
• Note belt routing; remove the worn belt and install the new belt around motor and drive pulleys
• Rotate the large pulley by hand to seat the belt and verify alignment before reassembly and testing
