XPARTCO 33002535 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WP33002535
The XPARTCO 33002535 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Maytag, Amana, Crosley, and Kenmore dryers. The drum belt is a long, ribbed rubber belt that wraps around the outside of the dryer drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the drum during every drying cycle. When the belt breaks or wears out, the motor continues to run but the drum stops spinning — clothes tumble only under gravity or not at all, and the dryer produces heat with no airflow through the load.
This belt measures 91-5/8" in length and 5/16" in width, with 5 ribs and 4 grooves — the correct profile to grip the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley on compatible Maytag-platform dryers. Made from high-strength rubber designed to resist stretching, cracking, and heat degradation over years of use. It directly replaces WP33002535, 33001777, 63700300, 791135, WP33002535VP, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the top panel by unscrewing the screws inside the lint screen housing and releasing the front clips with a putty knife. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release tension from the old belt at the idler pulley, then slide the belt off the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley. Note how the belt is routed before removing it — take a photo if needed. Loop the new 33002535 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward (toward the drum). Route the belt under the idler pulley and around the motor pulley, then pull the idler pulley toward you to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the drum spins. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect the drum support rollers (12001541) and idler pulley (WP6-3700340) for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 33002535 and WP33002535?
These are the same dryer drum belt. WP33002535 is the updated Whirlpool/Maytag OEM part number that superseded the original 33002535. The 33001777 is also a cross-reference for this same belt. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
How do I know if my dryer belt has broken?
The clearest sign of a broken belt is a motor that runs — you can hear it humming — but the drum does not spin when you start the dryer. On most Maytag-platform dryers, you can open the dryer door and try to spin the drum by hand — if it spins very freely with almost no resistance, the belt has likely broken. You can also open the top or front panel to visually inspect the belt; a broken belt will be lying loose inside the cabinet or wrapped around components rather than stretched around the drum.
Should I replace the drum rollers and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, this is the ideal time to inspect and replace the drum support rollers (12001541) and idler pulley (WP6-3700340). These components wear at similar rates to the belt, and a worn roller or pulley bearing is often what caused the belt to wear and break prematurely. Replacing all three together eliminates the most common sources of drum noise and prevents a second teardown in the near future.
Which side of the belt faces the drum?
The ribbed side of the 33002535 belt faces inward — toward the drum surface. The smooth side faces outward, away from the drum. When installing, wrap the belt around the drum with the ribs against the drum, then route the smooth side under the idler pulley and around the motor pulley. If the belt is installed inside-out, it will slip and the drum will not spin correctly.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Maytag or Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from high-strength rubber to match the length, width, and rib profile of the original WP33002535 drum belt.
