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.
