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.

This locking nut is used for many purposes on a range of machines including household appliances. This nut is often used for leg leveling for machines. It will help with vibrations from washers and dryers. If the nut is used for this purpose and goes missing or becomes damaged, it could cause the machine to vibrate more and seem louder.Nuts are made from metal and are built to last a long time. However, there can still be issues that arise. In some cases, the nuts might go missing if they become loose and the machine is moved. They could also corrode over time and need to be replaced. The replacement of the nut is typically a fast and simple repair.The nut is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced from the manufacturer. It can work with washers, dryers, and combo machines, and is compatible with models from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and Roper. The part is sold individually. Owners may want to have several on hand.
