Description

The Belt Switch is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool clothes dryers. It plays an important safety role by automatically shutting off power to the dryer when the belt comes off of the tumbler pulley. 

Symptoms of a bad Belt Switch include:

• The dryer failing to stop or start as expected 
• Inability to control heat, fan, or tumbling functions
• Smoking, burning smells or tripped circuit breakers

Causes can include wear and tear over extended use. Vibrations within the dryer may cause internal wiring to crack or connections to loosen over time.

This genuine Whirlpool replacement is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore as well.
