Dryer drum drive belt. 87 3/4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. This drive belt wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor pulley. If this belt is cracked or broken, the dryer drum will not turn.
Both gas dryers and electric dryers rely on the rotation of the dryer drum to successfully dry your clothes, and the key component responsible for drum rotation is the dryer drum belt. If the belt breaks, you may still hear the motor running but the drum won’t move. While dryer models from names like Whirlpool, Electrolux, Bosch, GE, Haier, LG, Samsung, Kenmore, and Westinghouse all use drum belts, the belts are often unique to each model. To find the right genuine manufacturer belt for your dryer, enter the appliance’s full model number into Repair Clinic’s search bar, then choose "Belt” from the part category filter on the left side of the part results page. If, for some reason, you’re unable to locate the correct belt, please contact our Customer Service Team at 1-800-269-2609 for personal guidance in purchasing the part.
