134511600 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Washer Drive Belt
The 134511600 is a Genuine OEM Frigidaire replacement washer drive belt compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, and Crosley top-load and laundry center washers — including the FLS, FWS, FLEB, GLWS, FEZ, FGZ, and related series. The drive belt is a wrapped V-style rubber belt that connects the motor pulley to the washer tub, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the basket during the wash and spin cycles. When the belt breaks, wears out, or stretches, the motor continues to run but the basket stops rotating — the washer fills with water and drains but does not agitate or spin, leaving clothes soaking wet.
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications. The belt measures approximately 32-1/4" in length (30" inner circumference) x 1/2" wide x 5/16" high — a wrapped V-belt profile that seats on the motor pulley. It directly replaces 1156860, 131234000, 131686100, 134161100, 145371, 3204418, F145371, F145371-000, AP3867042, AH1146950, EA1146950, EAP1146950, LB117, PD00000111, and PS1146950. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. On most compatible Frigidaire-platform washers, the drive belt is accessed by removing the back panel or by laying the washer on its side to access the motor and pulley from the bottom. The belt wraps around the motor pulley (small, at the motor shaft) and the transmission pulley or basket (large, beneath the tub). Release the old belt by slipping it off the motor pulley — the motor may need to be slightly unbolted and shifted to relieve tension, depending on your model. Route the new 134511600 belt around both pulleys in the same path as the original and seat it firmly in the V-groove on each pulley. If the motor position is adjustable, re-tension the belt so it deflects no more than 1/2 inch when pressed in the middle. Reinstall the back panel, restore power and water, and run a test cycle to confirm the basket agitates and spins normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket set or adjustable wrench.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer drive belt do?
The drive belt is the power transmission link between the motor and the washer basket. The motor turns a small drive pulley on its shaft, and the drive belt wraps around both the motor pulley and the larger transmission or basket pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the basket. Without an intact, properly tensioned belt, the motor runs but the basket stays still — the washer fills with water, pumps it out, but never agitates or spins clothes. A broken, cracked, or slipping drive belt is one of the most common causes of washer failure on Frigidaire-platform top-load models.
What is the difference between 134511600 and 1156860?
These are the same drive belt. 1156860 is an older cross-reference part number and item number for the same belt that Frigidaire consolidated into the current part number 134511600. The 134161100, 131234000, 131686100, and 3204418 numbers are also cross-references for this same belt from various parts catalog revisions. All are covered by this OEM belt.
My washer pumps but won't spin — is it the belt?
A washer that pumps and drains normally but does not spin the basket is a classic drive belt failure symptom on Frigidaire-platform top-load washers. Since the drain pump is typically driven separately from the basket, a broken belt will stop basket rotation while leaving the pump functioning normally. Open the back panel and visually inspect the belt — if it is broken, stretched to the point of slipping, or missing entirely, replacing the 134511600 belt will restore normal spin and agitation. If the belt looks intact but the basket still doesn't turn, check the motor capacitor or idler pulley.
Should I also inspect the idler pulley when replacing this belt?
Yes — since the washer must be partially disassembled to replace the belt, this is a good opportunity to inspect the idler pulley for wear. The idler pulley maintains belt tension on compatible models — if the pulley bearing is worn or the spring tension is reduced, the belt will slip even when new, causing a burning rubber smell and poor spin performance. The Frigidaire washer idler pulley is sold separately (part 131462600 or 134371700 depending on model). If the idler pulley wobbles or the wheel doesn't spin freely by hand, replace it at the same time as the belt.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive belt installed in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, and related brand top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
