Mick April 24, 2023 for Model Number DDC4400AELAD I replaced the belt about 6 months ago with PN WE12X10014 It measures 87" long and 1/4" wide. 4 ridges. and is the correct replacement for a GENERAL ELECTRIC, Model: DDC4400AELAD Dryer (SN: 00039G). The belt was very tight and hard to install around the tensioner. I had the back panel taken off for better access to the belt, drum and pullet wheel. Should I select a slightly longer belt with same number of ridges as this belt only lasted 6 months?
1 Answer Hello Nick, that is the correct belt part number as per the manufacturer, there is no other belt listed. Suggest the drum be checked for anything that may cause excessive drag causing a short belt life. Read More...
Art March 29, 2023 for Model Number DDE4000BAL Dryer drum turned but not enough heat. Replaced both coils. When refitting the belt now it's loose and drum won't turn. The pulleys and tensioner appear to be correct, all bolts are tight. I measured the belt and it's 1/8-3/16 longer than the 87 inches correct. Could the belt have stretched during my repair to this degree? Should this excess length make the difference in the drum not turning? Can I substitute a shorter belt and, if so, what part number? Thanks for any advice.
1 Answer Art, the belt would not have stretched during the repair. It would be recommended that the tensioner pulley is checked to ensure that it was pulled away from the motor before placing the belt onto the motor pulley. This will allow the tensioner to press onto the belt and create the tension necessary when slowly moved back to the motor pulley. Read More...
Bob W. March 25, 2022 for Model Number DDE5700GBLWH I have a DDE5700GBLWH. My dryer top is lifted up and my front cover is off. But I have a riveted lower left front cover blocking access for me to get my hand, let along my arm in there to touch the pulleys. The belt was broken, and I use a coat hanger to fish it out. HELP, please!!
1 Answer Hello Bob, You should be able to raise the drum enough to reach through the small opening to install the new belt onto the pulleys. If you cannot get your arms through the opening you may need to remove the panel at the bottom rear of the dryer cabinet so you can reach through to the motor and idler for the belt installation. Wear arm protection to prevent injury. Read More...
Lisa W. February 19, 2021 for Model Number DWLR473GTIWW Dryer tumbles, something squeaking, could it be the belt?
1 Answer Hello Lisa, A squeaking is normally caused by a worn rear bearing WE25M40. While in there, you should make sure the front bearing and slides WE49X20697 are in good shape. Read More...

Widow November 19, 2019 for Model Number DDG7280SBLWW Tried to start dryer. drum wouldn't turn.Took out half of the wet clothes and it started but makes noise and smells a little bit like burning rubber. Husband died recently and can't afford to hire someone. Is this a belt issue, do you think? Belt had been replaced years ago by my husband. Is there a video for this particular dryer? Thanks for any help you can give me!
1 Answer Hello Ms. Widow, you would need to take the dryer apart, starting with the top then the front panel, that will give you access to the interior. This could be as minor as a sock or lint build up in the blower housing, next check the motor , if you remove the belt can you turn the motor shaft/blower wheel easily by hand. Next, can you turn the drum, it rides on front glide pads and a bearing assembly at the rear. If you access the blower wheel WE16M15 on our website there is a video showing how to access that area of the dryer. Read More...

Leslie August 27, 2019 for Model Number DBXR463EB0WW My dryer is attempting to tumble but makes a grinding sound. It started with a squeak but now it is grinding. I think it is a belt that has broken. I need to know which belt to use for this model. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Leslie, This can be an issue with the rear drum support WE25M40, the idler pulley WE12X83, or the front bearing assembly WE49X20697. The belt is WE03X29897 for the model provided. As a note, the belt is included with the dryer bearing kit WE49X20697. Read More...
