This belt replaces OEM part numbers 8540101, 8540348, WP8540101, AP6013037, and PS11746258.
This is a standard-sized washer drive belt measuring 0.55 inches in width and 48 inches in length.
If your washer is failing to agitate or spin, making loud squealing or thumping noises during operation, or if the drum is not turning despite the motor running, the drive belt is likely worn, stretched, or broken and requires replacement.
Replacing the belt is a moderate repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need basic hand tools, such as a screwdriver and a socket set, to remove the access panels. Always ensure the washer is unplugged and the water supply is turned off before beginning the installation.
While replacing the belt, it is a good practice to inspect the motor pulley and the drive pulley for any signs of debris, excessive wear, or damage. If the pulleys are damaged, they may cause the new belt to slip or fail prematurely.
