Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Drum spins unusually easily by hand when the belt is broken
• Dryer makes squeaking or unusual belt-related noise
• Visible belt wear, fraying, cracking, or breakage
• Dryer may stop tumbling while the motor continues running
• Burning or rubber-like odor may occur if the belt is slipping or misaligned

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the dryer before inspection or service.
• With power disconnected, gently rotate the drum by hand; unusually little resistance can indicate a broken or detached belt, but does not by itself confirm the diagnosis.
• Inspect the accessible belt area for visible breakage, fraying, cracking, glazing, or displacement.
• After belt installation, verify that the belt is centered on the drum and routed around the motor and idler pulleys according to the appliance-specific service information.
• If a replacement belt slips, smells hot, or makes noise, stop operation and check for pulley misalignment or drag rather than assuming the belt alone is faulty.
