If your GE dryer motor runs but the drum sits completely still, or you hear a loud squealing noise before the drum stops turning, the drive belt has broken or worn through. In most GE electric and gas dryers, the drive belt is the only mechanical link between the motor and the drum — it wraps around the outside of the drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley. When the belt breaks, the motor runs silently while clothes sit still and never tumble dry. When the belt is worn or glazed, it slips and produces a high-pitched squeal before snapping. ⚡ Most common mechanical failure on GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Kenmore, and Moffat dryer platforms. Part WW02F00854 is the genuine OEM 89-1/2" drive belt — and our XPart option (WW02F00854XP) delivers the same specification at a lower price — that restores full drum rotation immediately.
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

✔ If these symptoms match, the drive belt is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the drive belt restores full drum rotation immediately.
Skill Level: Moderate — 30–50 minutes. Disconnect power before starting — unplug the dryer completely. Remove the front panel or top panel to access the drum (varies by model). Photograph the belt routing before removing the old belt — the belt wraps around the drum (ribbed side against drum), goes under the idler pulley, then around the motor pulley in a Z-pattern. Route the new belt following your photos exactly, verify it is centered on the drum, and rotate the drum by hand to confirm smooth, consistent rotation before reassembling. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation.
