Whirlpool Belt

The Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a crucial transmission component that connects the motor to the drive system transmitting power to the tub. During rotation, the belt spins the tub and agitates or extracts water as needed. 

Causes of a bad belt include general wear and tear over time, exposure to abrasive debris, or damage due to seizing components.  

Symptoms of a failed or slipping belt include:

• Abnormal vibrations or noises during the operation
• Slow or inefficient agitation or spin cycles   
• The tub fails to turn despite a running motor

Replacing with a new OEM belt restores lost power ensuring efficient, balanced operation. Extend the life of your washer with this genuine Whirlpool part.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Belt is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool clothes dryers. This belt transfers power from the motor to the drum, causing it to spin and gently tumble dry clothes.

Causes of belt failure typically relate to normal wear and tear over thousands of dryer cycles. As belts constantly rotate under tension, cracks and looseness can develop which affects their ability to grip smoothly. Physical damage from improper installation is another potential cause.

Symptoms of a worn or broken belt include:

• An unbalanced or off-center drum that wobbles during operation
• Loud squealing, screeching or grinding noises
• The motor runs but the drum does not spin
• Damp or partially dried clothes after a full cycle

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

This drive belt transfers the motor's rotation to the appliance's drive system so moving parts turn as intended. Replacing a stretched, cracked, or broken belt restores smooth operation and helps prevent slipping or squealing during cycles.

• Transfers motor power to the driven component (drum, pump, or transmission—varies by model)
• Maintains proper friction and tension across pulleys for consistent rotation
• Wear or stretch can cause slipping, noise, or loss of motion
• Common symptoms: no spin/tumble, intermittent movement, squealing/chirping, burning-rubber smell, visible cracks/fraying

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Access the belt path per your model's service information and note routing before removal
• Route the new belt over the motor and idler/driven pulleys; rotate by hand to seat and align
• Inspect pulleys/tensioner and bearings; replace any worn parts to prevent premature belt wear

This is a drive belt that is part of the internal structure of many washing machines. It works with two different pulleys and a drive motor to ensure the washing machine spins. As the washing machine is used, the drive belt can experience wear and tear. If the drive belt is worn or damaged, it can begin to make strange noises. The drive belt can also come loose or unevenly worn and will need to be replaced.A screwdriver, a wrench, and work gloves may be needed to replace the drive belt. Unplug the washing machine and shut off the cold and hot water valves before moving the washer forward. Remove the back panel by taking out the screws and lifting the panel away. Take the old belt off of the pulleys and install the new belt. Make sure to reassemble the washer and turn on the power and water before use.This part is designed to be used with washing machines manufactured by Maytag and Whirlpool. It is sold as an individual item. The drive belt is an authentic OEM replacement component that is directly sourced from the manufacturer.

This insulated belt secures the appliance's insulation blanket around the cavity, helping maintain proper temperatures and shielding surrounding components. Replace a torn, stretched, or missing belt to restore correct insulation retention and reliable performance.

• Holds the insulation wrap in its designed position
• Helps contain heat and reduce transfer to outer panels
• Supports thermal efficiency and stable cavity temperatures
• Common reasons to replace: belt frayed, stretched, or missing; insulation slipping out of place

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Access the insulation area by removing panels or the unit from its enclosure as needed
• Wear gloves and eye protection when handling fiberglass insulation
• Route and secure the belt as originally installed; do not overtighten or compress insulation excessively

The Belt is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. It is a crucial component that transfers the rotational motion from the dryer's motor to the drum, enabling the tumbling action that facilitates efficient drying.

Causes of a bad belt can include excessive wear and tear due to prolonged use, exposure to high temperatures, or improper installation. A damaged or worn-out belt can lead to various issues with the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad belt include:

• The drum is not spinning or rotating properly
• Squeaking or grinding noises during the operation
• Visible cracks, fraying, or signs of damage on the belt
• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying completely

This OEM part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Made by Whirlpool. Fits most Whirlpool and Kenmore belt driven washers. Size: 1/2 inch x 47.5 inches long.

This poly-V blower belt links the motor to the blower wheel to move air through the appliance. Replacing a worn or broken belt restores proper airflow and helps maintain reliable drying/venting performance. What it does:

• Transfers motor rotation to the blower/impeller to circulate air
• Helps maintain proper airflow through the cabinet and exhaust
• Common failure signs include weak or no airflow at the vent, longer run times, or safety shutdown from poor airflow
• Physical clues: belt broken, frayed, glazed, stretched, or squealing from the blower area

• 1 poly-V blower belt

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas supply before servicing
• Access varies by model; remove panels or blower cover to reach the belt
• Note routing; seat belt ribs in pulley grooves and ensure correct tracking
• Rotate the blower by hand to confirm alignment before reassembly and test run

This belt-drive is the replacement drive belt that turns the dryer drum so clothes tumble evenly during the cycle. It restores drum rotation when the original belt is worn, stretched, or broken. What it does:

• Wraps around the dryer drum and motor/idler assembly to transfer motor torque to the drum
• Restores normal drum rotation when the belt has failed or slipped
• Helps eliminate symptoms like a non-turning drum, rubbing or squealing noises, or intermittent tumbling
• Compatible with dryers that use a single continuous drum drive belt

• One (1) belt-drive

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas models) before servicing
• Access the dryer drum per your model's service instructions—usually from the front or rear—before removing the old belt
• Route the belt around the drum and idler/tensioner exactly as shown in the model's diagram; ensure proper tension and alignment
• If you encounter damaged pulleys, idler, or motor issues, inspect and replace those parts as needed
