XPARTCO 134719300 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO 134719300 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum drive belt compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers. The drum belt is a critical component that connects the motor pulley to the drum, enabling the drum to rotate during drying cycles. The belt wraps around the drum circumference, passes over an idler pulley (which maintains tension), and connects to the drive motor pulley. When the motor runs, it drives the belt, which rotates the drum to tumble clothes for even drying. Over time, drive belts fail due to normal wear from friction and heat, cracking or fraying from age and repeated flexing, stretching that reduces tension and causes slipping, contamination from lint buildup, or sudden breakage from overloading or mechanical stress.
Constructed from durable black rubber with reinforced fabric or cord embedded inside for strength and flexibility, designed to withstand thousands of hours of operation under high temperatures and constant friction. Dimensions: 90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. It directly replaces 134719300, 137315300, 7134719300, LB5300, 1482960, AP4368788, EAP2349294, PD00000843, and PS2349294. Important: install the belt with the grooves facing DOWN, against the drum. Often replaced together with the idler pulley (134793500/134793511, sold separately) as a paired repair since both wear together. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — Grooves Face DOWN Disconnect power at the breaker or outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the top and/or front panels of the dryer to access the drum — the specific procedure varies by model, but typically involves removing 2–4 screws under the top edge or lint trap area, then lifting or tilting the top panel forward. Once the top is off, disconnect the door switch wire harness and lift the front panel free. This exposes the drum, motor, and idler pulley. Photograph the belt routing before disassembly if any belt fragments remain — you'll need to match the routing pattern with the new belt. Remove any pieces of the old broken belt from around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley. Support the drum from underneath (a wooden block or two can help hold it in position). Route the new 134719300 belt around the drum in the same position as the old belt — approximately 4-6 inches from the front lip of the drum. Install with the grooves facing DOWN, against the drum surface — this is essential for proper engagement with the motor pulley. From under the drum, route the belt over the idler pulley and around the drive motor pulley in a Z-shape. Rotate the drum by hand a few full turns to confirm the belt seats correctly and rides smoothly. Verify the drum rotates freely without binding — if it doesn't, the belt is twisted, kinked, or misrouted; fix it before reassembling. Reinstall the front and top panels, reconnect the door switch, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, wooden block, side cutters (for removing broken belt fragments), flathead screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn — is the belt the problem?
Almost certainly, yes. When the motor runs (you hear the humming/whirring) but the drum stays still, the belt has almost always snapped or is slipping badly. To confirm without opening the dryer: reach in through the door and try turning the drum by hand. If it spins freely with no resistance whatsoever, the belt is broken. If it turns but feels notchy or resistant, the belt may still be intact but the drum bearings or rollers could be the issue. In either case, opening the dryer to inspect the belt visually is the definitive check — a snapped belt will be lying in the bottom of the cabinet.
Why do I have to install the belt with grooves facing down?
The dryer's motor pulley is a smooth, un-grooved cylinder — the belt runs against it with the flat (smooth) side. The drum, on the other hand, needs the grooves to positively engage and drive without slipping under load. So the grooved side faces the drum (down when you're routing the belt around the drum from above), and the smooth side wraps around the motor pulley and idler pulley. Installing the belt backwards with grooves facing up will cause the belt to slip against the drum immediately and can burn out the new belt within a few minutes of operation.
Should I replace the idler pulley at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The idler pulley (134793500 or 134793511 on many compatible dryers) maintains constant tension on the drum belt as the drum rotates. It wears from the same friction cycles as the belt — when the belt fails, the idler pulley bearings have typically also been stressed and are near end-of-life. Since the dryer is already open and the pulley is right there next to the belt, replacing both saves you a repeat repair when the pulley fails a few months later. Signs of a worn idler pulley: rough or noisy rotation when spun by hand, visible wear grooves, or seized bearings.
What's the difference between 134719300 and 137315300?
These are the same drive belt across production revisions. 137315300 was a Frigidaire OEM part number and 134719300 is the current cross-referenced part number that covers the same belt. Both are physically and functionally identical — if your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, this listing is the correct replacement. LB5300 and 7134719300 are additional catalog references for the same belt.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from durable rubber with reinforced fabric/cord to match the dimensions (90"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H), rib and groove pattern (5 ribs, 4 grooves), and drive function of the original 134719300 drum belt used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, and Gibson dryers.

WP40111201 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drum Belt
The WP40111201 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drum belt for full-size Whirlpool-built dryers. The belt is a long, slender loop that wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes around the tension (idler) pulley, and loops around the drive motor pulley. This belt is the sole mechanical connection between the motor and the drum — there is no gear or direct coupling — so when it breaks or slips off, the dryer behaves in a very specific way: the console lights up, the motor runs, the blower moves air, but the drum sits still. Open the door and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance.
This belt measures 93-3/8 inches long and 3/8 inch wide, with a 5-rib multi-groove profile. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling, the ribs glaze over and begin slipping under a wet load, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. A screeching or squealing noise, a rhythmic thump timed to drum rotation, fraying at the edges, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs a belt is near the end of its life. As a genuine OEM part, the WP40111201 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It directly replaces 40111201, WP40111201VP, 14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, 821089, AP6009126, PS11742271, and R0606549.
Quick Answer
The WP40111201 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drum Belt fixes full-size Whirlpool-built dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer screeches, squeals, or thumps during operation. 93-3/8" long, 3/8" wide, 5-rib profile. Replaces 40111201, WP40111201VP, 14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, 821089, AP6009126, PS11742271, R0606549. Grooves face against the motor pulley on this platform — same orientation as our Y312959 belt.
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 screeching or squealing that begins as soon as the cycle starts
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
Dryer won't start, or inadequate heating reported alongside a belt-related noise
Black rubber dust or belt fragments found in the bottom of the cabinet
Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt

Compatibility
This drum belt is compatible with select full-size Whirlpool-built dryers across the Whirlpool family of brands, including:
Whirlpool electric and gas dryers
Maytag dryers (select Whirlpool-built models)
KitchenAid dryers (select models)
Amana dryers (select models)
JennAir dryers (select models)

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Photograph Belt Routing First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Pull off the lint trap and remove the screws securing the top panel, then raise the panel and support it with a block of wood. Remove the rear access panel to locate the motor, blower wheel, and belt. Photograph how the old belt routes around the drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley before removing anything — if the belt is already broken, note that the grooved side of this belt rides against the motor pulley, with the smooth back facing the drum. Loosen and remove the motor mount, lift the motor slightly, and slide the old belt free. The front panel typically needs to come off as well to fully access the drum. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open — lint buildup around the motor and idler is what cooks belts prematurely. Place the new belt around the drum, seat it in the polished wear track left by the old belt, then route it around the tension pulley and around the motor pulley. Useful trick: tape the belt loosely to the drum with a strip of masking tape before repositioning the motor, so it doesn't slide off while you work. Re-secure the motor mount, then rotate the drum by hand several full turns and confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered without walking toward an edge. While you're in there, spin the tension pulley and each drum roller by hand — if any is noisy, gritty, or has play, replace it now, since a seized pulley or worn roller will destroy the new belt quickly. Reassemble the front and rear panels and the top panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before loading it. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, flat-blade screwdriver, putty knife, masking tape, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm the belt is broken and not the motor?
With the dryer unplugged, open the door and try to spin the drum by hand. An intact belt gives firm resistance, because you're turning the motor and idler through the belt. If the drum coasts freely like a bicycle wheel, the belt is broken or has jumped off its pulleys. Sound is the other tell: with a broken belt the motor hums and the blower whooshes normally, so the dryer sounds like it's running perfectly while the drum sits still. A failed motor usually buzzes and does nothing, or trips the breaker outright.
What's the difference between WP40111201 and 40111201?
They are the same belt across production revisions. 40111201 was the long-running legacy Whirlpool number and WP40111201 is the current number carrying the "WP" prefix Whirlpool adopted. WP40111201VP is a variant packaging code for the same belt. If your dryer's parts diagram or the old belt itself shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The remaining cross-references (14218936, 40051501, 40051502, 59174, 821089, AP6009126, PS11742271, R0606549) are catalog identifiers used by various parts distributors for the same belt.
Is this the same belt as your Y312959 listing?
No. This belt is 93-3/8" long, while the Y312959 belt in our catalog is 100" long — the two are used on different Maytag/Whirlpool dryer platforms and are not interchangeable. Both share a similar 5-rib profile and grooves-against-motor-pulley orientation, which is exactly why they're easy to confuse. Always check your model number or measure your old belt's length before ordering either one.
Which way do the grooves face on this belt?
On this Whirlpool platform, the grooved (ribbed) side of the belt rides against the motor pulley, with the smooth back of the belt facing the drum. This is the same orientation as our Y312959 belt, but it is the opposite of some other manufacturers' platforms — for example, Frigidaire's 134719300 belt runs with the grooves facing down against the drum instead. Always confirm orientation for your specific brand and platform, and photograph the old belt before removing it whenever possible.
The dryer squeals but the drum still turns. Belt or something else?
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 tension pulley bearing makes a very similar squeal, and worn drum rollers add a low rumble underneath. With the cabinet open, spin the tension pulley and each roller by hand — they should turn smoothly and silently. If they're gritty, noisy, or have play, replace them along with the belt, since they share the same teardown and you'd otherwise be opening the dryer twice.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original 93-3/8" length, 3/8" width, and 5-rib profile of the drum belt originally installed in your Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, or related dryer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum forward, and set it aside. The rear drum support rollers are mounted on shafts on the rear bulkhead — each roller is secured with a tri-ring clip and a retaining washer. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the old tri-ring clips, then slide the old rollers off the shafts. Install the new rollers, new retaining washers, and new tri-ring clips on the shafts. Reinstall the drum, re-route the belt around the motor and idler pulley, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify quiet, smooth drum operation. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the drum support rollers do?
The rear drum support rollers are cylindrical wheels mounted on fixed shafts at the back of the dryer cabinet. As the drum rotates, its rear outer rim rests on these rollers, which carry the drum's weight and allow it to spin smoothly and quietly. When the rubber wheels wear down or the bearing hubs corrode, the drum no longer rides smoothly on the rollers — causing thumping, rumbling, or squealing noises that get progressively worse. In severe cases, worn rollers allow the drum to sag and drag against the cabinet rear panel.
Why must I replace both rollers at the same time?
Both rear drum support rollers carry the same load and experience the same wear through every drying cycle. When one roller fails, the other has been under the same stress for the same number of cycles and is almost certainly near the end of its useful life. Replacing only the failed roller leaves one worn roller supporting the drum unevenly, which puts extra stress on the new roller and causes it to wear out much faster. Replace both rollers at the same time to ensure even drum support and get the full service life from the new parts.
Should I also replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — this is the ideal time. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access the rear drum rollers, replacing the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) at the same time is strongly recommended. All three parts wear at similar rates, and a worn belt or idler pulley is often what caused the rollers to wear prematurely. Doing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and saves you from repeating the teardown in the near future. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three parts together.
What causes dryer drum rollers to wear out?
Drum rollers wear naturally over time from the continuous load of supporting the rotating drum. The most common accelerating factors are operating the dryer with a worn or broken belt (which allows the drum to sag and puts extra weight on the rollers), running very large or heavy loads frequently, and allowing lint to accumulate around the roller shafts, which causes the bearings to run dry and wear faster. Regular dryer maintenance — including cleaning lint from around the drum and periodically checking the belt — helps extend roller life.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
It is a genuine Whirlpool OEM part.

12638000000786 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller
The 12638000000786 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered.
Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles or as the roller continues to wear.
Quick Answer
The 12638000000786 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller fixes Midea-built dryers with a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation. Supports and centers the drum along its support track.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Rumbling or grinding noise that rises and falls with drum rotation
Squeaking or squealing noise from inside the dryer during operation
Thumping or knocking noise, especially with a heavier load
Noise that gets louder over time as the roller wears further
Drum that sits unevenly or wobbles slightly when turned by hand
Visible flat spot, cracking, or wear on the roller wheel
Noise that continues even with an empty drum tumbling

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000000786 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause.
Is this the same roller as your 12638000004021 listing?
No. These are two distinct Midea part numbers, and they do not cross-reference or replace each other. If you're not sure which roller your dryer uses, check the number stamped on your existing roller or contact our support team with your model number, and we'll confirm which one is correct before you order.
Should I replace just one roller, or all of them?
It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

The 12638000004021 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller, sold under the Frigidaire/Midea manufacturing relationship for Midea-built dryers and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers using this same platform. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its rear support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered.
Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles. It directly replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000004021 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause.
Should I replace just one roller, or all of them?
It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.
