Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Drum does not tumble or spins unusually easily by hand
• Squealing, squeaking, thumping, or other belt-related operating noise
• Visible belt fraying, cracking, stretching, or breakage
• Burning-rubber odor may occur if the belt slips or is damaged

Check Before Replacing

• With the dryer disconnected from power, manually rotate the drum and note whether it turns unusually freely; this can indicate a broken belt but is not conclusive.
• After disconnecting power, visually inspect the accessible belt area for fraying, cracks, glazing, stretching, or a complete break.
• If the belt is being replaced, inspect the belt path and tensioner area for obvious misrouting or interference before reassembly.
• Confirm the replacement belt matches the exact dryer model and the original belt's rib-and-groove configuration.
