XPARTCO 6602-001655 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO 6602-001655 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. The drum belt wraps around the outside of the dryer drum, loops around the motor pulley and idler pulley, and drives the drum to rotate during every drying cycle. Without a functioning belt, the drum cannot spin and clothes will not tumble or dry.
Made from premium neoprene rubber reinforced with polyester cords, this 5-rib belt measures 92 inches long x 5/16 inch wide and is built to resist cracking, stretching, and wear under the high heat and repeated tension cycles of daily dryer use. It is a direct drop-in replacement for OEM part numbers 6602-001655 and 6602-001314, and installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. To access the drum belt, remove the top panel and front panel of the dryer. Lift the drum out of the cabinet, remove the old belt, and loop the new 6602-001655 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward. Route the belt slack around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path around the pulleys. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, this is an ideal time to also inspect and replace the idler pulley and drum support rollers if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 6602-001655 fit my Samsung or Kenmore dryer?
This belt is compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. Use the model search above to verify your model number, or contact our support team before ordering.
What does the dryer drum belt do?
The drum belt wraps around the outside of the dryer drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley. As the motor spins, it drives the belt which causes the drum to rotate, tumbling your clothes through the heated air to dry them. A broken or worn belt means the drum cannot spin.
How do I know if my drum belt is broken?
The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor runs and you can hear it humming, but the drum does not spin. You may also hear a thumping or slapping sound if the belt is slipping or partially broken. Opening the dryer cabinet and visually inspecting the belt will confirm if it is broken, frayed, or stretched.
Should I replace the idler pulley and drum rollers at the same time?
Yes — since you need to disassemble the dryer to replace the belt anyway, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the idler pulley (DC93-00634A) and drum support rollers (DC97-16782A) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is made from premium neoprene rubber with polyester cord reinforcement to match the dimensions and performance of the original belt.
