This drum belt, often referred to as a drive belt, is used in the assembly of dryers. It goes around the drum, the idler pulley, and the motor pulley. As the armature on the motor spins, this belt is what rotates the drum and tumbles your clothes during the dry cycle. If you can hear the motor running but the drum is not moving, that is a sign your belt is broken, stretched, or damaged, and can no longer grip the drum. This belt is 88 3/4 inches long, and is 1/4 inch wide. Because it is made of rubber it is common for this part to become brittle and need to be replaced. This is an authentic OEM replacement part, and it is sold individually. Remember to unplug your dryer before you begin this repair.

So I ordered a drum belt and a idler pulley for my dryer and none of the instructions say how to remove the front panel door to get at the parts. Can you help, thnks.
Hi Blake, to remove the front panel door you will need remove the top panel and then the control panel from your dryer. After these are out you can unscrew the front panel, and then remove the belt. To remove the tub, you will just pull it out of the front by lifting up and out. Good luck with this repair!

How do you install this belt, what side goes against the drum?
Hi Norman, great question! You will need to remove the front assembly by releasing the clips from underneath the corners at the top. Once the front assembly is removed you can wind the new drum belt around the drum of the dryer. Should be fairly simple, but if you have any further questions please let us know.

My dryer is not spinning and I’m not sure if it is the belt or the pulley. I’ve been reading about both, but can you give me more info?
Hello Elsie, you should try spinning your drum by hand. If it does not give off any resistance, that usually means your drum belt has snapped. To know for sure, we suggest checking the drum belt, but that is your most likely problem. I hope this helps!

My electric dryer is making a load screaching noise i think its one of the belts what are the proper belts
For model number DNSR475EY1WW
Hello Kendra, thank you for your question. The belt for this unit is PartSelect Number: PS1766009. If the belt is fine, the issue might be front drum bearing, rear drum bear, or drum glides. I hope this helps.

Is the belt the only possibility for dryer mot heating? I have cleaned vent and basket etc
For model number CAQE7001LW0
Hi Tony, thank you for your question. Looking at your model information there are a few parts that you should take out and test to see which one is giving you the issue. The first parts to check in this case would be all of your thermostats and thermal fuses. You can test those parts with a multi meter and they should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. If those parts are fine, you should then go on to testing your heating element as well. You can also test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Heats up but wont spin?
For model number WGR211ES0
Hello Jorge, Thank you for the question. The most common reason for the drum not tumbling but still running and producing heat is a broken Belt, PartSelect Number PS1148434. Hope this helps!

We bought the belt 134503600 and tried to install it but it seems too big. It’s the recommended part for our Frigidaire dryer, so what could be the issue?
For model number GLER341CES0
Hi Caroline, have you followed our install video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d_a7wJekAs&feature=emb_title ? If so I would double the part number that came in the packing, its possible you may have been shipped the wrong part. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Could not do as video.
Had to open back side vent & use needle nose to secure spring.
The new motor from parts select was not correct. The new motor is a bolt on. The original motor was a press on. Had to return at a cost of 42.00 dollars. Had to buy a new dryer.
I basically followed the video instructions on your website. Pretty simple but ran into an issue pre-threading the 3 self taping screws into the spindle bearing. The screws provided were blunt on the end and did not tap easily at all. I used the existing screws that were much more "sharp" and worked much better. Also, the new screws were Philips drive and due to the amount of torque trying to self tap nearly stripped them out. The old sharper screws were square drive which had a better bite. So basically, I used the old screws to self tap and then used the new screws for the final installation. It took a long time to clean all the lint out from the inside of the dryer. The motor was completely embedded with lint and animal hair. You may want to suggest that a good cleaning may be needed so bring a shop vac...and also something to carefully pick the lint balls out from around the motor armature and bearing area. Overall the video instructions were really a big help!
Had a squelch/squeak coming from the rear of the unit
I looked up a YouTube video on my specific model. Found one that said “basic disassembly”. I watched that and had it apart and back together in no time. Very easy to take apart and put new parts back in it. Re-assembled and since the repair no squeaking.
I followed the instillation instructions provided on your website. They were very informative and spot on. My only problem was my strength. I could not get the drum off of the rear bearing myself, but then I am a 61 year old female.
Both my husband and I had watched the videos for the parts we ordered. While we had a small space to work in, the repair on our dryer went fine. We are very happy with the parts we ordered along with the short amount of time it took to arrive. Thank you very much for the videos. Purchasing these parts and having the videos really saved us money compared to having to purchase a new dryer.

Dryer belt replacement
PartSelect is an awesome service. They have parts for everything including my very old dryer. It was easy to find the belt part number using the exploded views they have. The price was very fair.
The best part of their service are the "how-to" videos. I'm a 60 year old grandmother, I fixed my dryer by myself in an hour and that includes putting the spring back on the tensioner lever that was knocked off and vacuuming out the lint.
With the Fix app, you can quickly and easily find information on your appliance, along with videos and articles to help you fix it.
"Like magic. I took a picture of the model number on my refrigerator, and the app identified it right away … Very convenient. I'm impressed." ★★★★★ - Clever Jeff
