XPARTCO 6602-001717 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO 6602-001717 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Samsung 24-inch compact dryers. The belt wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes under the idler pulley, and loops around the motor pulley — as the motor turns, the belt drags the drum around with it. There is no other mechanical connection between the motor and the drum, which is why a broken belt produces the classic symptom set: the dryer powers on, the console lights up, the motor hums and the blower runs, but the drum sits completely still. Reach in and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance at all.
Samsung specifies this belt as "BELT-TIMING GEAR; 5PH2010, RUBBER, T2.7" — a 5-rib PH-profile belt, 2010 mm long (approximately 79-1/8 inches), 2.7 mm thick, in reinforced rubber. This is a compact-platform belt used on 24" Samsung dryers, and it is physically shorter than the 6602-001655 (5PH2337) belt used on Samsung's full-size 27" dryers. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens, the ribs glaze over and start slipping, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. Frayed edges, a squealing or thumping noise that tracks drum rotation, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs the belt is on its way out. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6602-001717 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Samsung 24" compact dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer squeals, thumps, or rumbles during operation. 5 ribs, PH profile, 2010 mm (~79-1/8") long, 2.7 mm thick, reinforced rubber. Also marked 5PH2010. Fits DV22K6800EW and DVE22N6850 compact platforms. Not the same belt as the full-size 6602-001655 / 5PH2337 — that one is over a foot longer.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom
- Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open
- Loud squealing or screeching that starts as soon as the cycle begins
- Rhythmic thumping or slapping noise timed to drum rotation — cracked or split belt
- Grinding or rumbling from inside the cabinet as a frayed belt drags
- Drum turns slowly, intermittently, or stalls under a heavy wet load — glazed belt slipping
- Clothes not drying because the drum isn't tumbling to expose them to airflow
- Black rubber dust or belt fragments found in the bottom of the cabinet
- Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This dryer drum belt directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
6602-001717, 6602001717, 5PH2010, SAM6602-001717, AP5623743, EAP4133826, ASM30222, PD00060820, PS4133826.
Samsung has not superseded this belt with a newer number, so the cross-reference list is intentionally short. 5PH2010 is the belt's size designation rather than a separate part number, and it is often stamped on the belt itself — if your old belt is marked 5PH2010, this is the correct replacement. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Heads up on bad cross-reference data: A number of online listings for 6602-001717 have incorrect cross-references copied onto them from a completely unrelated Frigidaire belt — numbers such as 134163400, AP3865318, 148270, PS1148434, and 5303283471, along with a long list of Frigidaire GLER, FDE, FER, and GLGQ model numbers. Those numbers do not apply to this Samsung belt and those Frigidaire dryers do not use it. If you arrived here from a listing showing those numbers, verify against your Samsung model number before ordering.
Compatibility
This drum belt is compatible with select Samsung 24-inch compact dryers, including:
- Samsung DV22K6800EW/A1 and DV22K6800EW/AC compact electric dryers
- Samsung DV22K6800EW series (all sub-variants)
- Samsung DVE22N6850X and DVE22N6850 series compact electric dryers
- Samsung DV22N6800 series compact dryers
- Select Samsung-built compact dryers sold under other retail labels
These are Samsung's 24" ventless and compact-footprint dryers, commonly installed in apartments, condos, closets, and stacked laundry towers where a full-size 27" dryer will not fit.
Note — compact platform only: The 6602-001717 is a 2010 mm belt for 24" compact Samsung dryers. It is NOT interchangeable with the 6602-001655 (5PH2337) belt used on Samsung's full-size 27" dryers such as the DV42H, DV45H, DV40J, DV48H, DV48J, and DV50K series — that belt is 2337 mm, roughly 13 inches longer. A full-size belt will hang loose on a compact drum and slip immediately; a compact belt will not stretch far enough to reach around a full-size drum. Measure your old belt or check your model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Note Belt Orientation And Idler Routing Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves — the sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Before you start, take a photograph of how the old belt routes around the drum, under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley. If the belt is already broken and you cannot see the original routing, note that the ribbed side of the belt faces toward the drum on this platform, with the smooth back side riding against the idler pulley. Access on Samsung compact dryers is typically through the front: remove the top panel, then the control panel and front panel, which lets you lift the drum out or tilt it forward far enough to work. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open — lint buildup around the motor and idler is what cooks belts prematurely. With the drum accessible, slip the new belt around the drum roughly one-third of the way back from the front lip, ribbed side against the drum surface, and seat it in the wear track left by the old belt. Reach underneath, route the belt under the idler pulley, then loop it around the small motor pulley. A useful trick: tape the belt loosely in position on the drum with a strip of masking tape before you reach underneath, so it doesn't slide off while you're working the idler. Once seated, rotate the drum several full turns by hand and confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered in its groove without walking toward the edge. While you are in there, spin the idler pulley and the drum rollers by hand — if either is noisy, gritty, or wobbly, replace them now, because a seized idler or worn roller will destroy the new belt in short order. Reassemble, restore power, and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before putting a load in. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver or socket set, putty knife, masking tape, flashlight, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know for sure the belt is broken and not the motor?
Open the door with the dryer unplugged and try to spin the drum by hand. With an intact belt you will feel firm resistance — you're turning the motor and idler through the belt. If the drum spins freely and easily, coasting like a bicycle wheel, the belt is broken or has come off its pulleys. The other tell is sound: with a broken belt the motor hums and the blower whooshes normally, so you hear a dryer that sounds like it's running perfectly while the drum sits still. A failed motor, by contrast, usually buzzes and does nothing, or trips the breaker.
Which way do the ribs face on this belt?
On this Samsung compact platform the ribbed side faces toward the drum, so the ribs grip the drum surface and the smooth back of the belt rides against the idler pulley. This is worth stating plainly because belt orientation is not universal across brands — some Whirlpool-platform dryers run the grooves against the motor pulley instead. Photograph your old belt before removing it whenever possible; the wear track polished into the drum will also show you exactly where the belt is meant to sit.
Will the full-size Samsung belt work if I can't find this one?
No. The full-size Samsung belt is 6602-001655, marked 5PH2337 — it is 2337 mm long against this belt's 2010 mm, a difference of about 13 inches. On a compact drum that extra length leaves the belt slack, so the idler cannot take up the tension and the belt slips or walks straight off the pulley. Going the other direction, a compact belt simply will not reach around a 27" drum. The rib count and profile are the same, which is exactly why these two get mixed up — always confirm the length.
My dryer squeals but the drum still turns. Is it the belt or something else?
It could be either, and it's worth diagnosing before you order. A glazed or hardening belt squeals as it slips on the motor pulley, usually loudest at startup and under a heavy wet load. But a dry or failing idler pulley bearing produces a very similar squeal, and worn drum rollers add a low rumble. With the dryer open, spin the idler and each roller by hand: they should turn smoothly and silently. If they're gritty, noisy, or have side-to-side play, replace them along with the belt — the parts share the same teardown, so doing them together saves you from opening the cabinet twice.
Why did my belt break in the first place?
Most often heat and age — rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling until it cracks. But two things dramatically accelerate it. Restricted airflow from a lint-clogged vent makes the cabinet run far hotter than designed, cooking the belt. And a seized idler pulley or a flat-spotted drum roller forces the belt to drag against a stationary surface, which shreds it quickly. If your belt failed early, clean the vent ducting end to end and inspect the idler and rollers before assuming the new belt will simply last.
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 manufactured to match the dimensions (2010 mm length, 2.7 mm thickness), 5-rib PH profile, reinforced rubber construction, and drum-drive function of the original 6602-001717 belt used in compatible Samsung 24" compact dryers.
