134503600 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dryer Drum Belt
The 134503600 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM drum belt for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kenmore, Tappan, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley dryers. This flat belt wraps around the drum and the motor pulley, and as the motor turns, the belt transmits that rotation to spin the drum — the constant tumbling this creates is what spreads heat evenly across your laundry and keeps the load moving through the drying cycle.
Measuring approximately 88-3/4" long and 1/4" wide, with 4 ribs and 3 grooves on the inside for a secure grip against the pulleys. Over time, the belt material wears, cracks, or glazes over from years of use, overloading the dryer, or prolonged heat exposure making it brittle. A worn or broken belt produces a distinctive symptom: the motor runs, but the drum doesn't turn — you'll typically still hear the motor operating normally while the drum sits still. Other symptoms include thumping or squealing noise during operation, the drum stopping mid-cycle, or the dryer not starting at all. It directly replaces AP3865318, 1156784, 134163400, 134163500, 134503900, 148270, 148270-000, F148270-000, F1482740-000, 5303283471, AH1148434, EA1148434, PS1148434, and 131777700.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the top and front panels of the dryer to access the drum and belt path. Release tension from the idler pulley and remove the old belt. Wrap the new 134503600 belt around the drum and motor pulley, making sure it seats correctly in the grooves along the entire path. Reposition the drum and reapply tension through the idler pulley. Before closing everything up, observe drum rotation during a quick test start to confirm smooth movement without hesitation, and check belt alignment along the pulley path, listening for any slipping sounds. Reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm the drum tumbles smoothly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
The motor is running but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is the classic and most reliable sign of a broken drum belt. If you can hear the motor running normally but the drum itself stays still, there's a good chance the belt has snapped and is no longer connecting the motor's rotation to the drum.
What causes this belt to wear out or break?
Regular use over time naturally wears the belt down, but a few things can accelerate that process: consistently overloading the dryer places extra strain on the belt, and excessive heat exposure from restricted airflow or prolonged use can make the material brittle and more prone to cracking or snapping.
Does this belt come with any other hardware, like the idler pulley?
No, this drum belt is sold individually. If your idler pulley or tensioner also needs replacing, that's a separate part you'll need to order in addition to this belt.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original length, width, and rib pattern of the drum belt originally installed in your dryer.
