FAQs

This is a 100-inch long dryer drum drive belt. It features a 3/8-inch width with a 5-rib, 4-groove design.
This belt is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, Admiral, and Amana dryers. It directly replaces OEM part numbers WPY312959, Y312959, 312959, 3-12959, 3-14774, LB234, 6-3129590, 314774, 314774 WPY, WPY312959VP, and P46-150.
The most common symptom is that the dryer motor runs, but the drum does not rotate. If you hear the motor humming but the clothes remain wet and stationary, the belt has likely snapped or slipped off the tension pulley.
While you have the dryer cabinet open, it is highly recommended to inspect the idler pulley and the drum support rollers. If the pulley does not spin freely or the rollers have worn flat spots, they can cause excessive friction, which will lead to premature failure of your new belt.
Replacing a dryer belt is a standard maintenance task that generally takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will typically need a screwdriver and a putty knife to release the clips on the front or top panel of the dryer. Ensure the power is disconnected before beginning any work.
