Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Drum does not tumble
• Dryer may make a belt-related noise or operate without rotating the drum
• Dryer may stop tumbling if the belt is worn, damaged, or broken

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the belt or opening the dryer cabinet.
• With power disconnected, observe whether the drum turns freely by hand; unusual resistance may indicate another mechanical issue.
• Inspect the visible belt area, where accessible, for breakage, severe wear, fraying, or loss of tension.
• If the motor can be heard while the drum does not rotate, have the belt and related drive components evaluated; this symptom is not conclusive by itself.
