Whirlpool WPW10131172 Genuine OEM Dryer Drum Belt

The Dryer Drum Belt wraps around the motor and pulley. If your dryer’s motor is running but the drum isn’t turning, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. To access the belt, first lift up the lint screen cover and remove the two screws. If you have the type of lint screen that has the cover built-in, just pull it out and then remove the screws. Next, take a putty knife around the edge of the top of your dryer and find the release clips. Press these in to release the top of the dryer so you can swing it open. The front panel also needs to be removed to replace the belt. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a Phillips-Head screwdriver and a 5/16" nut driver, along with some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part, remember to unplug the dryer or shut off the household circuit breaker to ensure safety.
