The Broken Belt Switch Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is an assembly that includes a microswitch and bracket installed to monitor the dryer drum belt status. The broken belt switch plays an important safety role by automatically stopping the dryer if it detects the drum belt breaking or slipping off the motor pulley during a cycle. The kit includes a switch, actuator lever, screws, and wire terminals.

Causes of a bad broken belt switch can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage from a broken belt or other internal issues. Ensuring the switch is functioning correctly is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the dryer.

Symptoms of a broken or failing switch include: 

• The dryer failing to shut off if the belt breaks during operation
• Inability to diagnose belt issues through error code displays  
• Intermittent stopping or variance in belt tension detection

This genuine Whirlpool switch replacement is also compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid dryer models.
