Genuine OEM W11511154 Dryer Drive Motor
The W11511154 is a genuine OEM dryer drum drive motor from Whirlpool, with the pulley for the drum belt included. It is the motor that turns the drum through the drive belt and also drives the blower that moves air through the dryer. When it fails or weakens, the dryer may not start, hum without turning, run loudly, stop partway through a cycle, or leave clothes damp because the drum or airflow isn't running properly.
This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the motor match what came with the dryer. It replaces several earlier Whirlpool drive motor numbers, including W11364931 and W11086656, both of which are now replaced by this number.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM W11511154 Dryer Drive Motor fixes a Whirlpool-built dryer that won't start, hums but the drum won't turn, runs noisily, or stops mid-cycle because the drive motor has failed. Genuine OEM from Whirlpool, with the pulley for the drum belt included. Classic symptom: you hear a hum or nothing at all when the dryer should be tumbling, even though the belt and power are fine.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start, or hums without turning the drum
Drum stops turning during a cycle
Loud grinding, squealing, or rumbling from the motor area
Weak airflow or damp clothes from a failing blower drive

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker, and shut off the gas supply first if it's a gas model. Following your model's service guide, remove the panels needed to reach the motor at the bottom of the cabinet. Take note of the belt routing, then release the drum belt and disconnect the motor's wiring harness. Remove the mounting hardware and take out the old motor. Install the new motor in the same position, make sure the pulley is on the shaft and aligned, and reconnect the wiring. Refit the drum belt following the original routing, replace the panels, and run the dryer to confirm the drum turns smoothly. It's a good time to check the belt and idler pulley for wear, since they affect the new motor's life.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer hums but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
It could be the motor, but a broken drum belt is a more common cause. Open the dryer and check that the belt is intact and the drum turns by hand. If the belt and idler pulley are fine and the motor hums or doesn't run, the drive motor is the likely cause.
Does it include the pulley?
Yes. The motor comes with the pulley for the drum belt.
My old motor is marked W11364931 or W11086656. Will this work?
Yes. Both numbers are on the Replaces list and have been replaced by W11511154.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent.

WH01X24697 Washer Genuine OEM Drive Belt
The WH01X24697 is a genuine GE OEM drive belt for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This belt connects the drive motor to the drive system, transmitting rotation to spin the basket during the wash and spin cycles.
Measures approximately 21" long, made of durable, flexible rubber engineered to reduce slipping and squeaking while withstanding regular tension and wear. Over time, the belt stretches, cracks, or breaks from age and normal use.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the washer using a socket wrench set, taking out the securing screws and carefully lifting the panel away. Locate the drive belt near the motor, at the bottom of the washer. Use a screwdriver to loosen the tensioner, then gently slide the old belt off the pulleys. Fit the new WH01X24697 belt around the pulleys in the same path as the old one, then re-tension it with the tensioner. Reinstall the back panel and secure its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the basket spins smoothly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: socket wrench set, screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer's basket isn't spinning. Is this the belt I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed drive belt. Since this belt is what transmits rotation from the drive motor to the basket, a stretched, cracked, or broken belt can leave the motor running while the basket doesn't spin correctly or at all.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, it's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer with basic tools. It involves removing the back panel to access the belt near the motor, loosening the tensioner, and swapping the belt — no specialized skills required.
Is this the same as WH01X24180 or WH01X27538?
No, these are separate GE/Hotpoint drive belts with their own distinct cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old belt rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original length, material, and pulley fit of the drive belt originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO WE12X10009 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO WE12X10009 is an aftermarket replacement drum drive belt for GE and Hotpoint electric and gas dryers, including washer-dryer combos. The belt wraps around the drum and runs over the motor pulley and idler pulley, so the motor can turn the drum. A worn, stretched, or broken belt can cause a thumping or squealing noise, a drum that turns slowly, or a drum that won't turn at all.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE belt. Because the drum has to be moved to fit a new belt, it is also a good time to inspect the idler pulley, the drum glides, and the rear bearing and replace any that look worn.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE12X10009 Drum Belt fixes a GE or Hotpoint dryer whose drum won't turn, turns slowly, or makes a thumping or squealing noise. If the motor hums or runs but the drum stays still, a broken belt is the usual cause. Classic symptom: the dryer starts and the motor runs, but the drum doesn't turn, and you may hear a thump or squeal before it quits.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Drum does not turn although the motor runs
Thumping or squealing noise while the drum turns
Drum turns slowly or intermittently
Dryer starts but clothes don't tumble
Visible fraying, cracking, or a snapped belt

These numbers span several generations of GE's own part numbering for this belt. GE's catalog lists WE12X0090 as superseded to WE12X10009. Confirm against your dryer's parts diagram if your model calls out a different number.
Compatibility
This drum belt is listed for GE and Hotpoint electric and gas dryers and washer-dryer combos, including these examples:

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet edges are sharp. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old belt, loop the new belt around the drum, route it over the idler and motor pulleys, and reassemble in reverse order. Check the idler pulley and drum glides while the drum is out and replace any that are worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
That is the classic sign of a broken or slipped drum belt. If the motor runs and you can turn the drum freely by hand, check the belt first.
What's the difference between WE12X10009 and WE12X0090?
GE's catalog lists WE12X0090 as superseded to WE12X10009. This belt covers both numbers, along with the other numbers in the Replaces list above.
Should I replace anything else while the drum is out?
Inspect the idler pulley, the drum glides, and the rear drum bearing. These wear along with the belt, and they are much easier to replace now than later.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many GE and Hotpoint dryers, 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.

XPARTCO 22003483 Washer Drive Belt
The XPARTCO 22003483 is an aftermarket replacement drive belt for Whirlpool-built Maytag Atlantis top-load washers. This belt is the mechanical link between the drive motor and the washer's drive system — it's what actually transmits the motor's rotation to spin the drum, so both agitation and spin depend entirely on this belt gripping its pulleys correctly and staying properly tensioned.
Made of black rubber, this belt measures 52 inches long. Over years of use, the belt material gradually hardens and glazes over, becoming smooth and "slick" rather than gripping the pulleys firmly — this degradation can cause the belt to slip under load even before it shows any visible cracking or damage. A worn belt produces a range of symptoms depending on how far the wear has progressed: the washer may pump water but fail to spin, fail to agitate at all, spin noticeably slower than normal, or produce a chirping or slipping noise, especially as the motor shifts between wash and spin modes. It directly replaces WP22003483, WP22003483VP, AP6006365, PS11739438, 22002709, 62608400, 62618130, and 824667.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 22003483 Washer Drive Belt fixes Maytag (Whirlpool-built) top-load washers that pump but won't spin, won't agitate, spin slowly, or make a chirping/slipping noise as the motor shifts modes. 52 inches long, black rubber. Replaces WP22003483, WP22003483VP, AP6006365, PS11739438, 22002709, 62608400, 62618130, 824667. A belt can slip and cause symptoms well before it looks visibly worn — years of use leave the rubber "slick" and unable to grip the pulleys properly, even without visible cracking.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer pumps water but won't spin
Washer won't agitate
Washer spins noticeably slower than it used to
Chirping or slipping noise, especially as the motor shifts between wash and spin modes
Belt that has become glazed, hardened, or "slick" from years of use
Visible cracking, fraying, or glazing on the belt surface
General noise or vibration during the wash or spin cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the motor and belt area. Loosen the motor's mounting screws so the motor can be pushed toward the drum, releasing tension on the old belt. Slide the old belt off its three pulleys and remove it. Route the new 22003483 belt over the same three pulleys, matching the original path. With the belt in place, gently push the motor away from the drum by hand to apply tension, then tighten the motor's mounting screws while continuing to check belt tightness — the belt should have firm, even tension across all three pulleys with no excess slack. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle through both agitate and spin to confirm smooth, quiet operation with no chirping or slipping. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer makes a chirping noise when it shifts from agitate to spin. Is that the belt?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a worn belt. One long-term owner traced this exact chirp to a 10-year-old belt that had become "slick" from age — smooth and hardened enough that it briefly slipped on the pulleys as the motor shifted between modes, rather than moving cleanly into position. Replacing the belt resolved the noise completely.
My belt doesn't look cracked or damaged. Could it still be the problem?
Yes. A belt can degrade in ways that aren't obvious at a glance — the rubber can harden and glaze over time, becoming slick and losing its grip on the pulleys even without visible cracking or fraying. If your washer is slipping, chirping, or spinning weakly and the belt has been in service for many years, age-related slickness is a reasonable explanation even if the belt still looks intact.
How do I know if I have the right belt length for my washer?
This belt is 52 inches long and specific to the Maytag Atlantis top-load platform. Whirlpool and Maytag use different belt lengths across other washer models, so always confirm your model number matches the compatibility list, or measure your old belt for comparison, before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the length, profile, and material of the original WP22003483 drive belt used in compatible Maytag Atlantis top-load washers.

XPARTCO 349241T Dryer Drum Roller Set (2-Pack)
The XPARTCO 349241T is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear drum support roller set compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family 29-inch dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef. The drum support rollers are cylindrical rubber-and-metal wheels mounted on shafts at the rear of the dryer cabinet that cradle and support the outer edge of the drum as it rotates. Without the rollers, the drum would drag directly on the cabinet, causing rapid wear and generating the loud thumping or squealing noise that indicates failing rollers.
This set includes 2 drum rollers, 4 tri-ring retaining clips, and 2 retaining washers — everything needed for a complete rear roller replacement. Each roller measures 3-1/4"L x 1"W x 3-1/4"H and is constructed from rubber over a metal bearing hub with a plastic axle support. Both rollers must always be replaced at the same time. The set directly replaces 349241, 349241TVP, 8170, 8205, 337089, 340352, 661562, 3389901, 3397588, 3397590, AP3098345, PS347627, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 349241T Dryer Drum Roller Set fixes Whirlpool-family 29" dryers that are squealing, thumping, rumbling, or where the drum is not turning smoothly.

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?
This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from rubber, metal, and plastic to match the dimensions and load-bearing performance of the original 349241T drum roller set.

XPARTCO WE03X29897 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO WE03X29897 is an aftermarket replacement drum drive belt for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers. It is a four-rib belt, approximately 89-1/2 inches long, that wraps around the drum, the tension pulley, and the drive motor pulley, so the motor can turn the drum. A worn, stretched, or broken belt can cause noise, a drum that won't turn, or a dryer that won't start.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE belt. Because the drum has to be moved to fit a new belt, it is also a good time to inspect the tension pulley, idler, and drum rollers and replace any that look worn.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE03X29897 Drum Belt fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer whose drum won't turn, that makes a noisy thumping or squealing sound, or that won't start because the belt is worn or broken. Classic symptom: the dryer hums or the motor runs, but the drum stays still.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Drum does not turn although the motor runs
Noisy dryer, with thumping or squealing as the drum turns
Dryer won't start
Heat stays on after the drum has stopped
Visibly stretched, cracked, or broken belt

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as internal parts and cabinet edges can be sharp. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old belt and route the new belt around the drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley as the old one ran, then reassemble in reverse order. Check the tension pulley and drum rollers while the drum is out and replace any that are worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
That is the classic sign of a broken drum belt. If the motor runs and you can turn the drum freely by hand, check the belt first.
How long is this belt?
It is approximately 89-1/2 inches long, with four ribs. Small differences are normal, but if your old belt is a very different length, check your model number before ordering.
Should I replace anything else while the drum is out?
Inspect the tension pulley and the drum rollers or glides. These wear along with the belt, and they are much easier to replace now than later.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for hundreds of GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers, 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.

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. Remove the lint screen, then unscrew the two Phillips screws inside the lint filter housing. Use a putty knife 2 inches from each front corner to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release belt tension at the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 341241 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing down (toward the drum). Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your model's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum rollers (349241T) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 341241 differ from the W10205415 and 6602-001655 belts?
All three are 92-inch dryer drum belts, but they differ in width and rib count. The 341241 is 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. The 6602-001655 is 5/16" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves designed for Samsung dryers. Always match the part number to your specific model — do not substitute based on appearance alone.
Will this belt fit my Kenmore dryer?
Many Kenmore dryers — especially the popular 110-series — are manufactured by Whirlpool and use the 341241 belt. Check your model number against the compatibility list and contact our support team if you need help confirming the fit before ordering.
How do I know if my drum belt needs to be replaced?
The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound during operation, a burning rubber smell, or clothes that are damp after a full cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched.
Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (691366) and drum support rollers (349241T) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together — often sold as a repair kit — prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt that came installed in your dryer from the factory — same materials, dimensions, and performance.

XPARTCO WH01X24434 Washer Clutch Spring
The XPARTCO WH01X24434 is an aftermarket replacement clutch spring for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint and RCA models. This small spring provides the correct tension for the shifter/clutch assembly, ensuring smooth transitions between the wash and spin cycles. It works alongside the shift actuator (our WH03X30517 listing) and the clutch itself (our WH05X24185 listing) in the same wash/spin transition system.
Made of spring steel for flexibility and wear resistance, measuring approximately 2.3" in length. Over time, this spring can weaken, stretch, or lose tension from repeated use. Symptoms of a worn or failing clutch spring include weak shifting, slipping, or the washer failing to transition properly between agitation and spin. It directly replaces WH01X24434, 4587847, AGE26150, AP6031748, EAP11763251, PD00055310, PS11763251

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning to cut off electricity and prevent accidental shocks. Wear work gloves. Access to the clutch spring typically requires the same disassembly path as the clutch and shift actuator: remove the two screws at the back of the washer, pull off the main console, and locate the access plate on the transmission side. Remove the belt from the pulley and take off the belt guard. Locate the old clutch spring and note its exact position and orientation before removing it. Remove the old spring and install the new WH01X24434 in the same position, making sure it's seated correctly to provide proper tension on the shifter/clutch assembly. Reattach the belt, pulley, and access plate. Reinstall the main console and secure it with its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm smooth, correct transitions between agitation and spin with no slipping. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shifts weakly or slips between cycles. Is this the spring I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a worn clutch spring. Since this spring provides the correct tension for the shifter/clutch assembly, a weakened or stretched spring can result in weak shifting or slipping as the washer tries to transition between agitation and spin.
Should I replace this spring at the same time as the actuator or clutch?
It's worth considering. Since this spring, the shift actuator, and the clutch all work together in the same wash/spin transition system, and you'll already have the washer disassembled to access any one of them, checking and replacing all three together — especially if they're all original and the same age — can help prevent needing to reopen the washer again soon after.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a moderate repair, since accessing this spring requires removing the back panel, main console, and transmission access plate — the same disassembly path used for the clutch and shift actuator. Basic hand tools are sufficient, but budget more time than for a simple part swap.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the length, material, and tension specification of the original WH01X24434 clutch spring used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and RCA top-load washers.
