The Belt is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This belt wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley, allowing the drum to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle.
Over time, the belt can wear out or break due to regular use, friction, or exposure to heat. Physical damage, overloading the dryer, or improper installation can also contribute to belt failure.
Symptoms of a bad belt include:
- The dryer drum not spinning
- A squealing or thumping noise during operation
- The dryer starting but stopping shortly after
- The motor running, but the drum remaining stationary
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
