Several more years ahead with this part!
While replacing the heating element, we noticed our drive belt was very worn. The new one came quickly, and the videos helped us install it right away. The quality of the part is much improved over the original belt. Thank you!

Part fit perfectly
Putting the new belt on was easy, and the videos provided by Parts Select were excellent, especially for helping me remember how to put the dryer back together. In the future Parts Select will be my first choice for finding repair parts.

Dryer belt so old it slipped and would not turn drum
Seemed daunting but pull the front off and the drum is basically just perched inside on some rollers. You have to pull it out to really reach in and wrap the 96”+ band around it and to motor and don’t forget to tension it with tension pulley if you don’t see that if your belt broke! Another bonus is after 10 years I got to remove th

Dryer was Noisy
I simply followed the video and apart from a couple of areas that were not relevant to my model, everything went exactly as illustrated. The video is excellent and made the repair so easy.
The only issue I experienced was being short two rollers, as the parts diagram did not clearly show that there were two rollers in the back
... Read moreand two in the front.
A kit, with its own part number should be prepared that would show 4 rollers and belt as the recommended required parts.
It was an easy fix, I just did half the install a second time.
Please do not buy parts from Parts Select. My order was not shipped the next day (as advertised on the web site), but instead 3 days later. I paid an extra couple of dollars for expedited shipping, which did made no difference (except for a couple of extra dollars for Parts Select to pocket).
When I emailed customer service
... Read more to complain, I never received any response. I can't believe that customer service can be so unimportant in such a competitive marketplace. And with the power of social media, you would think customer service would be a big differentiator.
I ended having to buy another part (the igniter). I found a different vendor with better prices and a commitment to satisfying customers. I got my part in 3 days for cheaper shipping than the starting point of Parts Select shipping. So I guess I should thank Parts Select for forcing me to look elsewhere because I found a better place with better prices and better shipping and better customer service!
Belt was raffling and there was aloud knocking sound
Removed the screws replaced the belt and lubricated the wheels and that fixed my Knocking and it runs like when I first got it

Im replacing the belt on this Kenmore 90 series and i can see on the old belt the part # is stamped.....3387610 and maybe (435et) after that. apparently the new part number is ps11722115 and replaces that old belt/part #. i do notice in the description it says there are 3 grooves and 4 ribs, but i am counting 4 grooves and 5 total ribs on this old belt. i assume im counting correctly.....a rib on each edge and then 3 ribs inbetween, totalling 5. ...which of course makes 4 grooves total. am i missing something or as long as the new one has as many or less than the old one, it will seat just fine on the grooves/ribs of the motor shaft like its meant to, correct? maybe i just should go with what is matched up with what i entered and what was given as the new part # and replacement., although im without the dryer and want to try and get the correct parts the first time. also, for the same dryer model, the lint screen foam seal that is attached to the inside of the screen housing is ripped. the one on the blower motor cover is fine but the seal that should keep lint from getting out of the screen housing and into the cabinet and be blown directly out to vent pipe is the one i need. can i not just use the same exact foam strips that are used as weather stripping on a door as long as it compresses and is tight seal? unless its a special heat resistant foam or something, that alternative is ok, right? thanks , sorry so long.
For model number 96590120
Hello Gavin, thank you for your question. Yes, the correct belt that the manufacturer recommends for your specific appliance model is part number Drive Belt 661570V. I don't believe they count the first rib when giving description of the belt. Either way, per you model information this is the right belt and will work with your unit. The lint screen foam seal is part number Seal, Outlet Housing part number WP697813. This is a specific piece of foam material that is made specifically for dryers, and should be used for this repair. It is made of a heat resistant material. I hope this helps!

The video included in the part for the belt replacement does not show my dryer.
For model number WGD9200SQ0
Hello Ken, thank you for your question. The video might have been shot with a different appliance, but the overall installation should be the same. This belt is used on multiple models and, visually speaking, might look different. Per your model, this part number Drive Belt 661570V is the exact replacement part. I hope this helps!

Our dryer turns on, heats up, and the motor hums. I ordered a new motor, idler pulley, and belt. After installing the new items, nothing happens when i push start. No motor humming or heat. What direction should i begin looking at?
For model number MED9700SB0
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your question. If the dryer is not starting, you will need to check the internal bias thermostat, the electronic control board, the door switch, the high limit thermostat and the fuse. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My dryer stopped running,we opened the top and front and found the belt was broken. If we just replace the belt can we be sure the dryer will run or do we have to check something else? Judi
For model number GEQ9800LW1
Hi Judi, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the pulley on the motor and the Idler pulley. As long as there was no damage tot he pulleys when the belt broke you should be fine replacing just the belt.Hope this helps!

How do you replace a belt in a stack dryer, what is the felt like belt around the drum, mine appears to be shredding. Primary symptom, loud thumbing noise while drying but still works.
For model number WET3300SQ2
Hi Anne, Thank you for the question. The belt for your model number is PartSelect Number: PS11722115. The felt seal at the front and back of the drum is Part Number: PS970088 and this prevents the drum from rubbing. Here is a link to the video we have for installing the belt. Hope this helps!
