Description

Replacement drive belt that transfers motor power to the appliance drum, restoring proper rotation and load movement. Replacing a worn or broken belt can stop slipping, prevent overheating, and return normal spin or tumble action. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque to the drum so the appliance can tumble or spin.
• Replaces cracked, glazed, frayed, or slipped belts that no longer grip properly.
• Common symptoms addressed: drum won't turn, intermittent spinning, loud squeal or rubbing noise, or a burning rubber smell.
• Helps restore normal cycle operation when the belt is the failure point.

What's included:

• Includes: 1 replacement belt.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before starting any repair.
• Access varies by model — remove the correct panels or drum per the model-specific service manual.
• Inspect idler pulley, motor shaft, and drum grooves; replace worn components to prevent premature belt failure.
• Ensure the belt is routed and seated correctly on pulleys and perform a short test run after reassembly.
