Genuine OEM WP95405 Washer Drive Belt
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP95405 is a washer drive belt, a looped rubber V-belt, 1/2 inch wide and 47-3/8 inches long, that runs between the motor pulley and the drive pulley. When the motor turns, the belt turns the drive pulley, which spins the basket and agitates the clothes. A worn, stretched, or damaged belt can cause squealing at the start of the spin cycle, thumping during spin, longer wash times, or poor cleaning.
This is the original Whirlpool part. It is listed for Whirlpool-built washers sold as Whirlpool and Kenmore. Replacing a belt takes some work to access the drive, and belts differ between washer families, so check the part number against your model before ordering.
Quick Answer

Classic symptom: a squeal when the spin cycle starts, or a basket that spins slowly or not at all while the motor runs.

Reviewers rate this repair from moderate to very difficult, taking roughly 1 to 2 hours or more.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer squeals when the spin starts. Is this the part I need?
A worn or loose drive belt is a common cause. One reviewer reports a squeal at the start of spin that went away after the belt was replaced and tightened.
Is WP95405 the same as 95405?
Yes. 95405 is the older Whirlpool number, and WP95405 is the current number. This belt also replaces the other older numbers in the Replaces list above.
Is this an easy repair?
It depends on your model. Reviewers rate it from moderate to very difficult, usually taking 1 to 2 hours or more, because the drive has to be reached and the belt reseated. Follow your model's service guide.
Will this fit my washer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool and Kenmore washers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
