XPARTCO 3394652 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO 3394652 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Admiral, Hardwick, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Norge, Modern Maid, Amana, Caloric, and Ikea models. This belt circles the drum and attaches to the motor pulley and idler pulley, transmitting the motor's rotation to spin the drum and keep clothes tumbling evenly throughout the drying cycle.
Measures approximately 79-1/8" long, 1/4" wide, flat with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. Over time, the belt wears down or snaps from constant friction and tension. If the dryer's motor is running but the drum won't turn, this belt has likely broken or worn through. Symptoms of a failing belt include the drum not spinning, the dryer failing to start, unusual or loud noise, no heat or insufficient heat, drying taking too long, a burning smell, or the touchpad not responding. It directly replaces AP2946614, 26000345675, 2823, 345675, 4319392, 790H4, 8066064, AH345337, B78448, EA345337, ER3394652, ER345675, LB278, P46-153, PS345337, and TJ90LP278.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the top and front panels of the dryer to access the drum and belt path. Release tension from the idler pulley and remove the old belt. Wrap the new 3394652 belt around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley, making sure it seats correctly in the grooves along the entire path. Pull the belt tight and reapply tension through the idler pulley. Before closing everything up, rotate the drum by hand to confirm smooth movement without hesitation. Reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum tumbles smoothly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
The motor is running but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is the classic and most reliable sign of a broken drum belt. If you can hear the motor running normally but the drum itself stays still, there's a good chance the belt has snapped or worn through and is no longer connecting the motor's rotation to the drum.
My dryer isn't heating. Could the belt really be involved?
On some models, yes indirectly — a broken belt can affect a door switch or safety interlock that also gates the heating circuit, so a belt failure can occasionally present as a no-heat or insufficient-heat symptom in addition to the more obvious lack of tumbling.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a moderate repair requiring basic hand tools and some dryer disassembly, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes. Removing the top and front panels to access the drum and belt path is the most involved part of the process.
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, width, and rib pattern of the original 3394652 drum belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related electric and gas dryers.

XPARTCO WE12X10014 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO WE12X10014 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for GE electric and gas dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, and Whirlpool models. This is the most common belt used across this dryer platform. This flat belt wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and idler/tensioner pulley, transmitting the motor's rotation to spin the drum and keep clothes tumbling evenly throughout the drying cycle.
Measures 87.875" long, 1/4" wide, flat with 4 ridges on one side. Over time, the belt dries out, cracks, or breaks from age and regular use. If the dryer motor is running but the drum won't rotate, the belt has likely broken. Symptoms of a failing or broken belt include the drum not spinning even though the motor runs, unusual noise during operation, or the dryer not tumbling clothes at all. It directly replaces WE12X10014, 103C7487, 1472898, WE12X0042, WE12X0082, WE12X42, WE12X42-, WE12X42P, WE12X42R, WE12X82, WE12X82E, WE12X82P, WE12X82R, 132C7487P004, AH2350043, EA2350043, PD00000990, EAP2350043, AGE25021, AP4379804, PS2350043
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE12X10014 Dryer Drum Belt fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, and Whirlpool electric and gas dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't rotate, or where you hear unusual noise or no tumbling at all. 87.875" long, 1/4" wide, flat, 4 ridges.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Clean Drum Dust With Glass Cleaner, Not Soap Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the screws on the back panel and pull the dryer away from the wall for access, or access from the front panel depending on your model — look down inside the front panel for two bolts holding the front assembly in place, removable with a 5/16" socket, taking care to disconnect the friction-fit door switch sensor wires as you pull the panel away. Locate the drive belt and tension pulley. Release tension on the idler pulley and remove the old belt from the motor pulley and drum. If the belt was broken, take note of its orientation and routing path before removing any remnants, since figuring out how it wraps around the tensioner is the trickiest part of reinstallation. Dust buildup on the drum can cause the new belt to slip — clean the drum thoroughly with glass cleaner and a paper towel before installing the new belt. Do not use a soapy cleaner, since soap residue will cause the belt to slip. Feed the new WE12X10014 belt around the drum, then through the idler pulley and motor pulley, matching the original routing. Pull the belt tight, re-tension the idler pulley, and rotate the drum by hand with the front cover off to confirm smooth movement before reassembling. Reinstall the front or back panel. Don't forget to reconnect the exhaust vent hose before restoring power, or you may blow lint and dust throughout your laundry room on the first run. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm smooth, quiet tumbling. Tools needed: 5/16" socket, Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench, glass cleaner, paper towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
The motor is running but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is the classic and most reliable sign of a broken drum belt. If you can hear the motor running normally but the drum itself stays still, there's a good chance the belt has snapped and is no longer connecting the motor's rotation to the drum.
Why does the installation guide mention cleaning the drum with glass cleaner specifically?
Dust that accumulates inside the drum over time can cause a new belt to slip against the drum surface, undermining the repair before it even gets a fair test. Glass cleaner and a paper towel remove this dust effectively. Avoid soapy cleaners, since soap residue left behind has the same slipping effect you're trying to prevent.
Any tips for figuring out how the belt routes around the tensioner?
If your old belt broke rather than simply wearing thin, take a photo of any remaining belt pieces and their position before removing them completely, since this shows you the correct routing path. One customer specifically noted that figuring out how the belt goes around the tensioner in the proper orientation was the trickiest part of the whole repair — a reference photo or a quick look at an installation video for your model helps considerably.
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, width, and rib pattern of the original WE12X10014 drum belt used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, and Whirlpool electric and gas dryers.

XPARTCO 511255P Dryer Drum Belt Replaces D511255P
The XPARTCO 511255P is an aftermarket replacement drum (cylinder) belt for Speed Queen and Alliance Laundry Systems commercial and residential dryers. This belt wraps around the outside of the drum and loops over the drive motor pulley and idler pulley, and it's what actually spins the drum during a drying cycle. Over years of use the rubber-faced belt stretches, glazes over, or cracks, and it eventually slips or snaps — when that happens the drum stops turning even though the motor and blower are still running.
The telltale sign of a worn or broken drum belt is a dryer that powers on and runs (you can hear the motor and airflow) but the drum sits still, or a rubbing/thumping noise as a worn belt starts to slip against the drum and idler pulley before it fails completely. This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement built to the same length, width, and rib profile as the OEM belt it replaces.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 511255P Dryer Drum Belt fixes a Speed Queen or Alliance Laundry dryer whose drum won't spin, or that runs with a rubbing/squealing noise from the drum area. Direct-fit aftermarket replacement for OEM D511255P. Classic symptom: motor runs and you feel warm air, but the drum sits still — or a loud thump/rub right before the belt lets go completely.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs (motor and airflow work) but the drum doesn't spin
Rubbing, squealing, or thumping noise from inside the dryer during operation
Clothes bunch up in one spot instead of tumbling
Burning rubber smell from a slipping or overheating belt
Visible cracking, glazing, or fraying on the old belt
Dryer drum spins freely by hand with no resistance from the motor

Installation Notes
ℹ️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the dryer's rear or front access panel per your model's service guide to reach the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley. Release tension on the idler pulley to slip the old belt off, and note the belt's routing path around the drum and pulleys before removing it completely — a photo taken beforehand makes reinstallation much easier. Loop the new belt around the drum with the ribbed side against the drum surface, then route it around the motor pulley and back around the idler pulley in the same path as the original, making sure it isn't twisted. Reinstall the idler pulley to restore proper tension, then manually rotate the drum by hand to confirm the belt tracks straight and doesn't rub before closing up the panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn — is this the part I need?
Yes, in most cases. A broken or badly slipped drum belt is the most common cause of a dryer that powers on, runs the motor and blower, and still produces heat and airflow, but the drum itself sits motionless.
Why does my dryer make a rubbing or thumping noise before the belt fails?
As the belt wears, it can glaze over, stretch, or fray, causing it to slip against the drum or idler pulley and produce a rubbing, squealing, or thumping sound. This is usually a sign the belt is close to failing completely and should be replaced soon.
Does this fit both commercial and residential Speed Queen dryers?
This belt design is shared across a very wide range of Speed Queen and Alliance Laundry Systems models, both commercial and residential. Still, confirm against your dryer's model number or parts diagram before ordering since Speed Queen has used several belt variants over the years.
Do I need to replace the idler pulley or tensioner spring at the same time?
Not necessarily — this listing is for the belt only. However, if your idler pulley is worn, noisy, or doesn't spin freely, it's worth inspecting and replacing while the dryer is already apart, since a bad idler pulley can shorten the life of a new belt.

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?

XPARTCO W10112954 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WPW10112954
The XPARTCO W10112954 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, and Crosley 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 durable rubber, this 5-rib Multi-V belt measures 93-1/4 inches long x 5/16 inch wide x 1/8 inch high 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 WPW10112954 and W10112954, and also replaces W10131172 on compatible models. 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 W10112954 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward toward the drum. Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific repair 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, 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
What is the difference between W10112954 and WPW10112954?
These are the same belt. WPW10112954 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10112954 number. Both refer to the identical drum belt — this aftermarket replacement is compatible with both.
How does the W10112954 differ from the W10205415 belt?
Both are 5-rib Whirlpool-family belts, but they differ slightly in length and width. The W10112954 is 93-1/4" long x 5/16" wide. The W10205415 is 92" long x 3/8" wide. They are not interchangeable — always use the part number specific to your dryer model.
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 partially broken or slipping. Open the dryer cabinet to visually inspect the belt and confirm if it is broken, frayed, or stretched out of shape.
Does the W10112954 also replace W10131172?
Yes — the W10112954 belt replaces W10131172 on compatible models. Both are 5-rib Whirlpool-family drum belts used across similar model ranges. Always verify your specific model number to confirm the correct belt 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 made from durable rubber to match the dimensions and performance of the original WPW10112954 belt.

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 W10112954 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WPW10112954
The XPARTCO W10112954 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool and Maytag electric and gas dryers, and also fits select KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. This belt circles the drum and attaches to the motor pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to keep the drum spinning and tumbling clothes evenly throughout the cycle.
Measures approximately 92-1/2" long, flat design with 5 ribs and 4 grooves for a secure grip and smooth rotation. Over time, the belt can stretch, lose tension, or break from regular use and age. If your dryer's motor is running but the drum isn't turning, this belt has likely worn out or broken. Symptoms of a failing belt include the drum not spinning, unusual noises like squealing or rubbing, extended drying times, or unexpected stops mid-cycle. It directly replaces AP6015116, PS11748388, EAP11748388, and 1447719.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10112954 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers where the drum isn't spinning, or where you hear squealing/rubbing noise or notice extended drying times. Approximately 92-1/2" long, 5 ribs, 4 grooves. Replaces AP6015116, PS11748388, EAP11748388, 1447719. Since this is a bigger repair requiring the dryer to be mostly taken apart, it's a good time to also inspect or replace the idler pulley, which shares the same duty cycle as the belt.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Motor runs but the drum won't turn
Squealing or rubbing noise during operation
Extended or inconsistent drying times
Dryer stopping unexpectedly mid-cycle
Belt stretched, loose, or visibly worn

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — This Is A Bigger Repair Requiring Significant Disassembly Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Replacing this belt is a larger project than some other dryer repairs, since it typically requires taking the dryer largely apart to access the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley. Remove the top and front panels, then the drum, to reach the belt path. Release tension at the idler pulley and remove the old belt from the motor pulley and drum. Note the routing path before fully removing any remnants if the belt was broken. Feed the new W10112954 belt around the drum, then through the idler pulley and motor pulley, matching the original path exactly. Reinstall the drum, pull the belt tight, and re-tension the idler pulley. Rotate the drum by hand to confirm smooth movement before closing everything up. Reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth tumbling. Tools needed: nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer's motor runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is the classic sign of a broken or badly worn drum belt. If the motor sounds like it's running normally but the drum stays still, the belt has likely stretched beyond its ability to grip, or has snapped and is no longer transmitting rotation from the motor to the drum.
Should I replace the idler pulley at the same time as this belt?
It's worth considering. Since replacing this belt requires a fair amount of disassembly to access the drum and pulley system, and the idler pulley shares the same duty cycle as the belt, one customer specifically ordered both together and reported a perfect fit for each. Replacing both at once can save you from needing to open the dryer back up again soon after if the pulley is also nearing the end of its life.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's more involved than some dryer repairs — one customer specifically noted that "replacing the dryer belt is a big project, need to take the whole thing apart." Basic hand tools like a nut driver and Phillips screwdriver are all that's required, but budget more time for this repair than 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 Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the length, rib pattern, and groove design of the original WPW10112954 drum belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and related electric and gas dryers.

W11568627 Genuine OEM Whirlpool/Kenmore Dryer Drum Belt
The W11568627 is a genuine OEM drum (cylinder) belt for select Whirlpool and Kenmore front-load dryers. This belt wraps around the outside of the drum and routes around the drive motor pulley and idler pulley — it's what actually spins the drum during a drying cycle while the motor and blower keep running independently. Over time this belt stretches, glazes, or cracks from heat and friction, and it eventually slips or snaps, leaving the drum motionless even though the rest of the dryer still runs.
Manufactured by Whirlpool to factory spec for smooth, durable drum operation under high-demand drying cycles, this is a genuine OEM part — not an aftermarket equivalent — so fit and long-term performance match what came on the dryer originally.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM W11568627 Dryer Drum Belt fixes a Whirlpool or Kenmore dryer whose drum won't spin, or that runs with a rubbing/thumping noise from the drum area. Genuine OEM replacement, factory fit. Classic symptom: motor and airflow run normally, but the drum sits still — or a rubbing sound right before the belt fails completely.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs (motor and airflow work) but the drum doesn't spin
Rubbing, squealing, or thumping noise from inside the dryer during operation
Clothes bunch up in one spot instead of tumbling
Burning rubber smell from a slipping or overheating belt
Visible cracking, glazing, or fraying on the old belt
Dryer drum spins freely by hand with no resistance from the motor
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.

Installation Notes
ℹ️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Remove the dryer's front or rear access panel per your model's service guide to reach the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley. Release tension on the idler pulley to slip the old belt off, and note the belt's routing path around the drum and pulleys before removing it — a photo taken beforehand makes reinstallation much easier. Loop the new belt around the drum with the ribbed side against the drum surface, then route it around the motor pulley and back around the idler pulley in the same path as the original, making sure it isn't twisted. Reinstall the idler pulley to restore proper tension, then rotate the drum by hand to confirm the belt tracks straight and doesn't rub before closing up the panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn — is this the part I need?
Yes, in most cases. A broken or badly slipped drum belt is the most common cause of a dryer that powers on, runs the motor and blower, and still produces heat and airflow, but the drum itself sits motionless.
Is W10577771 the same belt as W11568627?
Yes. W10577771 was the earlier Whirlpool part number for this belt; W11568627 is the current production number for the same design. If your dryer's parts diagram shows W10577771, this part is the correct current replacement.
My exact model isn't listed — will this still fit?
Possibly. Whirlpool uses this belt across a range of models beyond what's confirmed in our current compatibility data. Contact our support team with your full model number and we'll verify fit before you order.
Do I need to replace the idler pulley at the same time?
Not necessarily — this listing is for the belt only. However, if your idler pulley is worn, noisy, or doesn't spin freely, it's worth inspecting and replacing while the dryer is already apart, since a bad idler pulley can shorten the life of a new belt.

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.

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)
Kenmore dryers (select Whirlpool-built models, including SDG3606AWW)
Roper, Estate, Admiral, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef, and Norge dryers (select models)
This belt fits a large number of standard full-size front-load dryers used across North America. Because the compatible model list spans many years and revisions, always verify your full model number against your dryer's data label before ordering.
Note: Whirlpool and Maytag use more than one length of drum belt across their dryer lineups, and belts of a similar rib count and width are not automatically interchangeable. This belt is 93-3/8" long — it is NOT the same belt as our 100"-long Y312959 belt used on other Maytag/Whirlpool platforms. A belt that's too long or too short for your drum will slip, walk off the pulley, or fail to seat properly. Measure your old belt or verify your model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

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.

XPARTCO 4581EL2002C Dryer Drum Roller Assembly
The XPARTCO 4581EL2002C is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum support roller assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The drum support rollers are cylindrical rubber-and-metal wheels mounted on fixed shafts inside the dryer cabinet that cradle and support the outer rim of the drum as it rotates. LG dryers use four support rollers — two at the front and two at the rear of the drum. When the roller wheels wear down, crack, or the axle bushings degrade, the drum no longer rides smoothly and begins to wobble, causing loud thumping, rumbling, or squealing noises, or preventing the drum from turning at all.
This roller assembly includes one roller with center bushing design, one shaft (with threaded end on one side and hex end on the other), and two tri-ring retaining clips. Sold individually — LG dryers use four rollers total, and all four should be replaced at the same time. Dimensions: 3"L x 2-3/8"W x 3"H. The 4581EL2002C is the current revision covering the earlier A, B, D, and E variants. It directly replaces 4581EL2002A, 4581EL2002B, 4581EL2002D, 4581EL2002E, 4581EL3001A, 4581EL3001C, 4581EL3001E, 4581EL3001F, DE2002A, 2701044, AP5688895, EAP8260240, and PS8260240. Often replaced together with the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and idler pulley (4561EL3002A). Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the LG dryer cabinet. Access the drum rollers by removing the rear panel of the dryer (most LG models). Take a photo of the belt routing and roller positions before removing anything. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum, and set it aside. Each drum roller is mounted on a fixed shaft in the dryer cabinet — the roller is held by two tri-ring retaining clips. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the old clips, slide the old roller off the shaft, and slide the new roller on. Install the new tri-ring clips to secure the roller. Repeat for all four rollers. Reinstall the drum, re-route the belt, and reassemble the rear panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth drum operation. Tip: while the dryer is open, also replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and idler pulley (4561EL3002A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models), needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many drum rollers does my LG dryer have, and how many should I order?
LG dryers use four drum support rollers — two mounted at the front of the drum cavity and two at the rear. This listing is for a single roller. To replace all four at once (which is always recommended), order four of this part. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even drum support and eliminates the risk of a second disassembly in the near future when the remaining old rollers wear out.
What is the difference between 4581EL2002C and 4581EL2002A or 4581EL2002B?
These are successive production revisions of the same LG drum roller assembly. 4581EL2002A was the original, 4581EL2002B and C were updates, and D and E are further revisions. All variants are the same roller in terms of dimensions and function — if your dryer's parts diagram shows any of these part numbers, the 4581EL2002C is the correct current replacement. The 4581EL3001A, 4581EL3001C, and 4581EL3001E numbers are also alternate cross-references for this same roller family.
Should I replace the drum belt and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer must be fully disassembled to replace the drum rollers, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and idler pulley assembly (4561EL3002A). All three parts form the drum drive system and wear at similar rates. A worn belt or idler pulley is often what caused the rollers to wear prematurely in the first place. Replacing all three in one repair eliminates the most common LG dryer drum noise failure points and saves you from repeating the disassembly in the near future.
What causes LG dryer drum rollers to wear out?
Drum rollers wear naturally from the continuous load of supporting the rotating drum over thousands of drying cycles. Common factors that accelerate wear include operating the dryer with consistently very large or heavy loads, running cycles that are much longer than necessary (which increases total roller rotation time), lint buildup around the roller shafts causing the axle bushings to run dry, and a worn or broken drive belt that lets the drum sag and adds extra weight to the rollers. Regular dryer maintenance — including cleaning lint from around the drum and checking the belt — helps extend roller life.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from rubber, plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and load-bearing performance of the original 4581EL2002C drum roller assembly.

12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller
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.
