2 Pack - 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.

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.

12638200000241 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Belt
The 12638200000241 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers, including the MLE41/45/47/52, MLG45/52, MLTE37, CDE41, CDG41/45, CLADE67, and MDD160 series. The drum belt wraps around the dryer drum and the motor pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the drum during the drying cycle. When the belt breaks, stretches, or wears out, the motor continues to run but the drum no longer spins — clothes sit still in the drum while the motor hums, and the dryer cannot complete a normal cycle.
As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 12638200000241 is constructed from durable black rubber. Packaged dimensions are approximately 11" L x 3" W x 2" H. Note: if the drum belt has failed, this is also a good opportunity to inspect the drum support rollers (Midea 12638000004021) and the idler/tensioner pulley assembly while the dryer cabinet is open — these components wear together and a failing roller or pulley can accelerate belt wear. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The 12638200000241 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Belt fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers where the motor runs but the drum doesn't spin, the belt has snapped or is visibly stretched, or where there's a burning rubber smell during operation. Black rubber drum belt. Packaged dimensions approximately 11" L x 3" W x 2" H. Genuine OEM. Compatible with Midea MLE41/45/47/52, MLG45/52, MLTE37, CDE41, CDG41/45, CLADE67, MDD160 series, plus Criterion CDE41N1AW/CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW and Insignia Midea-built models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Drum not spinning — belt has broken or slipped off

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and motor/idler pulley assembly. Take a photo of the existing belt routing before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release the old belt from the idler pulley and slide it off the drum and motor pulley. Carefully lift the drum out and inspect the drum support rollers and idler pulley for wear — replace them now if needed while the dryer is open. Wrap the new 12638200000241 belt around the drum (ribbed side against the drum). Reinstall the drum, then route the belt around the motor pulley and under the idler pulley, allowing the idler to tension the belt. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore power (and gas, for gas models) and run a test cycle to confirm smooth, quiet drum rotation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the drum belt has failed?
The clearest sign of a broken drum belt is a dryer where the motor starts and runs normally, but the drum does not spin — you'll hear the motor humming with no drum movement. If you open the door mid-cycle and the drum spins freely with no resistance (as if disconnected from the motor), the belt has either broken or slipped off completely. A stretched or worn belt that still drives the drum may also produce squealing or burning rubber smells from slippage on the motor pulley. Visually inspecting the belt after removing the dryer's front panel confirms the condition.
Should I replace the drum rollers and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer cabinet must already be opened and the drum removed to replace the belt, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum support rollers (Midea 12638000004021) and the idler/tensioner pulley. All three components form the drum drive system and tend to wear together. A worn roller or pulley is often what caused the belt to fail prematurely in the first place. Addressing them together in a single repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a near-term repeat teardown.
Does this belt fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size class are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this drum belt. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), plus Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Which way does the belt go around the drum — ribbed side in or out?
On the drum belt, the ribbed (grooved) side should face inward, against the drum surface, while the smooth side faces outward. The ribs grip the smooth drum surface to drive it as the motor pulley turns. On the motor pulley side, the belt seats in the grooves of the small motor pulley. Take a photo of how the original belt was routed before removing it — this is the most reliable way to confirm correct orientation during reinstallation.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same drum belt installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO Y312959 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WPY312959
The XPARTCO Y312959 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum drive belt compatible with a wide range of Maytag, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dryers — including the long-running vintage Maytag DE and DG halo-of-heat series. The drum belt is a critical component that connects the drive motor to the drum. It wraps all the way around the drum's circumference, passes around a spring-loaded idler (tension) pulley, 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 from normal wear, cracking or fraying from age and repeated flexing, exposure to heat and lint buildup, stretching that causes slipping, or sudden breakage.
Constructed from durable black rubber. Dimensions: 100" long x 3/8" (5/16") wide, with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. Includes instructions. It directly replaces Y312959, WPY312959, WPY312959VP, 312959, 3-12959, 3-14774, 314774, 1000H5, 8195-959, LB234, P46-150, P46-151, 1246110, 6-3129590, AP6024192, EAP11757542, PD00028571, and PS11757542. Important: install the belt with the grooved side against the motor pulley and the smooth side against the drum. Because the belt is symmetrical, it can be installed with either end facing out. Often replaced together with the idler pulley (WP6-3037050) and drum support roller kit (12001541 / 303373K), sold separately. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Note: When you replace the drum belt, this is also the ideal time to inspect the idler (tension) pulley (WP6-3037050) and the drum support rollers (kit 12001541 / 303373K) — they wear from the same friction cycles as the belt, and if they're rough, seized, or noisy, the new belt will wear out prematurely. Before replacing the belt due to noise, check the drum support rollers and idler pulley and replace if you see signs of wear. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — Grooved Side Against Motor Pulley 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. Access the drum by removing the appropriate panels — the specific procedure varies by model, but on many vintage Maytag dryers this involves removing the front or top panel. Photograph the belt routing before disassembly if any belt fragments remain. Remove any pieces of the old broken belt from around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley, and vacuum out accumulated lint and belt dust. Clean any belt dust off the drum. Route the new Y312959 belt around the drum. Install with the grooved (ribbed) side against the motor pulley and the smooth side against the drum — this is the correct orientation for proper drive engagement. Because the belt is symmetrical, either end can face outward. A helpful tip from experienced installers: use two small pieces of tape to hold the belt against the drum while you lace it onto the idler and motor pulleys. From under or behind the drum, route the belt around the idler (tension) pulley and the drive motor pulley following the belt diagram for your model. Rotate the drum by hand a few full turns to confirm the belt seats correctly and rides smoothly without binding. While you have the machine apart, check that the idler pulley and drum support rollers spin freely — if they're rough or noisy, replace them now to protect the new belt. Reassemble the panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet, vacuum, work gloves, tape (helpful for holding the belt).
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) but the drum stays still, the belt has almost always snapped. To confirm without opening the dryer: reach in 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 rollers or bearings could be the issue. Opening the dryer to inspect is the definitive check — a snapped belt will be lying in the bottom of the cabinet. On decades-old Maytag dryers, a belt that finally snapped from age is one of the most common repairs.
Which way does the belt go — grooves in or out?
Install the belt with the grooved (ribbed) side facing the motor pulley and the smooth side against the drum. The ribs engage the grooved motor pulley for positive drive without slipping, while the smooth side rides against the large drum surface. Note that this is the opposite orientation from some other dryer belts (like certain Frigidaire belts where grooves face the drum) — so don't assume; follow the grooves-against-motor-pulley rule for this Maytag/Whirlpool-platform belt. The belt is symmetrical end-to-end, so either end can face outward; only the grooved-vs-smooth orientation matters.
Should I replace the idler pulley and drum rollers at the same time?
It's strongly recommended, especially on older dryers. The idler (tension) pulley (WP6-3037050) keeps the belt under proper tension, and the drum support rollers (kit 12001541 / 303373K) carry the drum's weight as it turns. All wear from the same friction and heat cycles as the belt. In fact, a common piece of repair advice is: before you replace the belt due to noise, check the drum support rollers and idler pulley first — worn rollers or a seized idler are frequent noise sources, and if you replace only the belt, the new belt may wear out prematurely against a bad pulley. Since the dryer is already apart, replacing all three together is efficient and saves a repeat repair.
What's the difference between Y312959 and WPY312959?
These are the same drum belt across production revisions. Y312959 was the earlier Maytag part number and WPY312959 is the Whirlpool-era part number (after Whirlpool acquired Maytag) for the same belt. WPY312959VP is a variant packaging code. All are physically and functionally identical — if your dryer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The many other cross-references (3-12959, 314774, LB234, P46-150, etc.) reflect the belt's long production history across decades of Maytag dryers.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Maytag/Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable rubber to match the dimensions (100"L x 3/8"W), rib and groove pattern (5 ribs, 4 grooves), and drive function of the original Y312959/WPY312959 drum belt used in compatible Maytag, Jenn-Air, Whirlpool, Amana, and Kenmore dryers.

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.
Quick Answer
The 12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller fixes Midea-built dryers (and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers on this platform) with a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation. Supports and centers the drum on its rear track. Replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.
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

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.

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.

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 an aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is made from high-strength rubber to match the dimensions and performance of the original 341241 belt.

XPARTCO WE03X32037 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WE12M24
The XPARTCO WE03X32037 is an aftermarket replacement drum drive belt for GE, Hotpoint, and RCA portable, compact, and unitized stack dryers. The belt is a long, slender loop that wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes around the idler tension pulley, and finishes around the small drive motor pulley. That belt is the only mechanical link between the motor and the drum — there are no gears and no direct coupling — so when it breaks, the dryer behaves in a very specific way: the console lights up, the motor runs, the blower moves air, and the drum simply sits there. Open the door and spin the drum by hand and it coasts freely with no resistance at all.
This belt measures approximately 79 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide, with a 4-rib multi-groove profile molded into the inner face. The 79" length is the defining specification here — GE uses several visually similar 4-rib dryer belts across its lineup, and the difference between them is length. Belts fail from heat and age: the rubber hardens, the ribs glaze and begin slipping under a heavy wet load, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps. Fraying edges, a squeal at startup, a rhythmic thump timed to drum rotation, or black rubber dust in the bottom of the cabinet all point to a belt nearing the end of its life. It directly replaces WE12M24, WE12M9, WE12X79, WE12X0079, AP3418890, AP7186820, PS755943, and related numbers. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE03X32037 Dryer Drum Belt fixes GE, Hotpoint, and RCA portable, compact, and stack dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer squeals, thumps, or rumbles during a cycle. Approximately 79" long, 1/4" wide, 4 ribs, black rubber. Fits DDP1370/DDP1375/DDP1380 portable and DSKP333/DSKS333/DSKS433 stack models. Replaces WE12M24, WE12M9, WE12X79, WE12X0079, AP3418890, AP7186820, PS755943. Not the same belt as the 89-1/2" full-size GE WE12M29 — length is what separates them.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom
Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open
Loud squealing or screeching that 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
Clothes not drying because the drum isn't tumbling to expose them to airflow
Black rubber dust or belt fragments in the bottom of the cabinet
Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt

Note — 79" portable/compact belt only: GE uses several visually identical 4-rib dryer belts that differ only in length, and they are NOT interchangeable. This belt is approximately 79 inches, for portable, compact, and stack units. It is NOT the WE12M29 / WE03X29897 belt (89-1/2") used on full-size GE dryers, NOT the WE12X10009 belt (87"), and NOT the WE12X10014 / WE12X42 belt (87-13/16"). Fitting a longer belt leaves slack the idler cannot take up, and the belt will slip or walk off the pulley within minutes. Measure your old belt end to end, or verify your full 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 — the sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Before removing anything, photograph how the old belt routes around the drum, around the idler tension pulley, and around the motor pulley. If the belt is already broken and the routing isn't visible, note that the ribbed side of the belt faces toward the drum, with the smooth back riding against the idler pulley. Access on these compact and stack units is generally from the front: remove the top panel, then the control panel and front panel, which frees the drum enough to lift or tilt it forward. Vacuum out accumulated lint while the cabinet is open — restricted airflow and lint packed around the motor are what cook belts prematurely. Slip the new belt around the drum roughly one-third of the way back from the front lip, ribbed side against the drum, and seat it in the polished wear track the old belt left behind. Reach underneath, route the belt around the idler pulley, then loop it around the small motor pulley. Useful trick: tape the belt loosely to the drum with a strip of masking tape before you reach underneath, so it can't slide off while you work the idler into position. Many GE idler arms have a locked or pre-loaded position — if yours does, remember to release it after the belt is seated, or the belt will have no tension and the drum will stall under load. Once routed, rotate the drum several full turns by hand and confirm the belt tracks straight and stays centered without walking toward an edge. While you're in there, spin the idler pulley and each drum roller by hand; if any is noisy, gritty, or has side-to-side play, replace it now, because a seized idler or flat-spotted roller will destroy the new belt quickly. Reassemble, restore power, and run a short empty cycle listening for squeal or thump before loading it. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver or socket set, putty knife, masking tape, flashlight, 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 WE03X32037 and WE12M24?
They are the same belt across production revisions. WE12M24 was the long-running legacy GE number and WE03X32037 is the current number that supersedes it. If your dryer's parts diagram or the old belt itself shows WE12M24, WE12M9, WE12X79, or WE12X0079, this listing is the correct replacement. The remaining cross-references (AP3418890, AP7186820, PS755943, AH755943, EA755943, 943874) are catalog identifiers used by various parts distributors for the same belt.
Can I use a longer GE belt if this one is out of stock?
No. GE's 4-rib dryer belts look nearly identical and differ mainly in length, which is precisely why they get substituted by mistake. This belt is about 79"; the full-size GE belt WE12M29 is 89-1/2", and WE12X10009 and WE12X10014 are around 87". On a compact or portable drum, that extra 8 to 10 inches is far more slack than the idler arm can absorb, so the belt runs loose, slips on the motor pulley, and typically walks off within minutes. If you're unsure, lay your old belt flat in a loop and measure its circumference before ordering.
Which way do the ribs face?
On this GE platform the ribbed side faces toward the drum, so the ribs grip the drum surface while the smooth back of the belt rides against the idler pulley. This is worth stating plainly because rib orientation is not universal across manufacturers — some other platforms run the grooves against the motor pulley instead. Whenever possible, photograph the old belt before removing it. The polished wear track on the drum will also show you exactly where the belt is meant to sit.
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 idler pulley bearing makes a very similar squeal, and worn drum rollers add a low rumble underneath. With the cabinet open, spin the idler 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.
Why did my belt fail in the first place?
Usually heat and age — rubber hardens over years of thermal cycling until it cracks. Two things accelerate it sharply. Restricted airflow from a lint-clogged vent makes the whole cabinet run far hotter than designed, which cooks the belt. And a seized idler pulley or a flat-spotted drum roller forces the belt to drag against a stationary surface, shredding it in short order. If your belt failed unusually early, clean the vent ducting end to end and inspect the idler and rollers rather than assuming the new belt will simply last longer.
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 dimensions (approximately 79" length, 1/4" width), 4-rib profile, rubber construction, and drum-drive function of the original WE03X32037 / WE12M24 belt used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and related portable, compact, and unitized stack dryers.

XPARTCO W10721967 Washer Drive Clutch Kit
The XPARTCO W10721967 is an aftermarket replacement drive clutch kit — often called a "splutch" kit — for Whirlpool-built top-load washers. This assembly sits at the base of the transmission and works together with the mode shift actuator to control how power reaches the washer: during agitation, the clutch engages to drive the washplate back and forth, and during spin, it locks up to spin the inner wash basket at full speed. The name "splutch" comes from what it actually is — part spring, part clutch — and that spring-loaded design is what lets the same assembly smoothly transition between the gentle agitate motion and the much more forceful spin cycle.
This is a complete 6-piece kit: spring, clutch housing, cam ring, basket drive gear, drive pulley, and mounting nut, so you're replacing the entire wear-prone assembly at once rather than chasing individual worn components. Over time the clutch's friction surfaces glaze over and wear down, the cam ring's engagement points round off, and the spring loses tension — all of which produce the same telltale complaint: a loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin, sometimes alongside a washer that spins weakly, agitates but won't spin, or runs hot and starts to smell from the friction of a slipping clutch. It directly replaces AP5951296, W10006352, W10006353, W10006354, W10006356, W10006382, W10239973, W10315818, W10326374, W10536113, W10721967VP, W10818965, W11396423, 3319979, and PS10057144.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10721967 Washer Drive Clutch Kit fixes Whirlpool-built top-load washers with loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin, a washer that agitates but won't spin, weak or no spin, an overheating smell, or a drum that doesn't spin the pump properly. Complete 6-piece "splutch" kit — spring, housing, cam ring, basket drive gear, pulley, and nut. Replaces AP5951296, W10006352, W10006353, W10006354, W10006356, W10006382, W10239973, W10315818, W10326374, W10536113, W10721967VP, W10818965, W11396423, 3319979, PS10057144. Often replaced together with the drive belt, since both wear on a similar schedule and share the same teardown.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin
Washer agitates normally but won't spin, or spins very weakly
Drive pump doesn't rotate properly, leading to slow or incomplete draining

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Tip Onto Its Back Or Front With Care Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and close the water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is from underneath the washer: remove the inner wash basket first (this typically requires a large basket-hub or spanner tool and applying steady upward pressure to break the basket free from the drive hub), then carefully tip the washer onto its back or front, protecting the top and any control panel with a blanket or padding as you lay it down. Photograph the belt and pulley arrangement before disconnecting anything. Remove the drive belt from the motor pulley, then remove the mounting nut and pull the old clutch/pulley assembly off the transmission shaft — a puller tool can help if it's seized. Install the new W10721967 assembly onto the shaft in the same orientation, torque the mounting nut to the manufacturer's specification, and reinstall the drive belt, checking that it seats correctly in the pulley grooves. Carefully stand the washer back upright, reinstall the wash basket, and reconnect it to the drive hub. Restore water and power, then run a full test cycle through agitate and spin, listening for the grinding or clicking noise that prompted the repair. Tools needed: basket-hub removal tool or spanner wrench, socket set, 13mm socket, 5/16" nut driver, pliers, work gloves, and a helper to assist with tipping the washer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "splutch" mean, and why is it sold as one kit instead of individual parts?
"Splutch" is shorthand for spring-clutch — the assembly combines a spring-loaded clutch mechanism with the drive pulley and gear that together control agitation and spin. Whirlpool sells this as a single kit because the individual components wear together and interact closely; replacing just the pulley while leaving a worn cam ring or a fatigued spring in place often means the noise or slipping symptom returns quickly. Replacing the complete kit resolves the failure at its actual source.
My washer agitates fine but won't spin. Is this the clutch?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. The clutch has to lock up firmly to transfer full power into spinning the basket; if its friction surfaces have worn down or glazed over, it can still engage well enough for the lighter agitation motion but slip under the higher torque demand of spin. If you hear grinding or clicking specifically as the washer transitions into spin, that reinforces the clutch as the likely cause.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
It's worth strongly considering. The belt and clutch wear on a similar schedule and share the same teardown — you're already tipping the washer over and removing the belt to access the clutch, so replacing a belt that's showing wear at the same time saves you from repeating the whole disassembly again in the near future. Inspect the belt for glazing, cracking, or fraying while it's off and replace it if it shows any of those signs.
The washer smells hot or burnt. Is that dangerous, and does it point to this part?
A worn clutch that's slipping generates friction heat, which can produce a warm, slightly burnt smell — this is a real symptom of clutch wear and not something to ignore, since continued operation in that state accelerates wear on the clutch and can stress the drive motor. If you notice this smell along with weak or absent spin, stop using the washer and address the clutch before running further loads.
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 spring tension, cam ring engagement geometry, pulley dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original W10721967 clutch kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, and Inglis top-load washers.

XPARTCO 6602-001717 Dryer Drum Belt
The XPARTCO 6602-001717 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Samsung 24-inch compact dryers. The belt wraps all the way around the outside of the drum, passes under the idler pulley, and loops around the motor pulley — as the motor turns, the belt drags the drum around with it. There is no other mechanical connection between the motor and the drum, which is why a broken belt produces the classic symptom set: the dryer powers on, the console lights up, the motor hums and the blower runs, but the drum sits completely still. Reach in and spin the drum by hand and it will turn freely with no resistance at all.
Samsung specifies this belt as "BELT-TIMING GEAR; 5PH2010, RUBBER, T2.7" — a 5-rib PH-profile belt, 2010 mm long (approximately 79-1/8 inches), 2.7 mm thick, in reinforced rubber. This is a compact-platform belt used on 24" Samsung dryers, and it is physically shorter than the 6602-001655 (5PH2337) belt used on Samsung's full-size 27" dryers. Belts fail from age and heat: the rubber hardens, the ribs glaze over and start slipping, and eventually the belt cracks through or snaps outright. Frayed edges, a squealing or thumping noise that tracks drum rotation, or black rubber dust in the cabinet are all signs the belt is on its way out. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6602-001717 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Samsung 24" compact dryers where the motor runs but the drum won't turn, the drum spins freely by hand, or the dryer squeals, thumps, or rumbles during operation. 5 ribs, PH profile, 2010 mm (~79-1/8") long, 2.7 mm thick, reinforced rubber. Also marked 5PH2010. Fits DV22K6800EW and DVE22N6850 compact platforms. Not the same belt as the full-size 6602-001655 / 5PH2337 — that one is over a foot longer.

Dryer runs and hums but the drum does not turn — the classic broken belt symptom
Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance when the door is open
Loud squealing or screeching that starts as soon as the cycle begins
Rhythmic thumping or slapping noise timed to drum rotation — cracked or split belt
Grinding or rumbling from inside the cabinet as a frayed belt drags
Drum turns slowly, intermittently, or stalls under a heavy wet load — glazed belt slipping
Clothes not drying because the drum isn't tumbling to expose them to airflow
Black rubber dust or belt fragments found in the bottom of the cabinet
Visible cracking, fraying, glazing, or stretching on the old belt
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This dryer drum belt directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
6602-001717, 6602001717, 5PH2010, SAM6602-001717, AP5623743, EAP4133826, ASM30222, PD00060820, PS4133826.
Samsung has not superseded this belt with a newer number, so the cross-reference list is intentionally short. 5PH2010 is the belt's size designation rather than a separate part number, and it is often stamped on the belt itself — if your old belt is marked 5PH2010, this is the correct replacement. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Heads up on bad cross-reference data: A number of online listings for 6602-001717 have incorrect cross-references copied onto them from a completely unrelated Frigidaire belt — numbers such as 134163400, AP3865318, 148270, PS1148434, and 5303283471, along with a long list of Frigidaire GLER, FDE, FER, and GLGQ model numbers. Those numbers do not apply to this Samsung belt and those Frigidaire dryers do not use it. If you arrived here from a listing showing those numbers, verify against your Samsung model number before ordering.
Compatibility
This drum belt is compatible with select Samsung 24-inch compact dryers, including:
Samsung DV22K6800EW/A1 and DV22K6800EW/AC compact electric dryers
Samsung DV22K6800EW series (all sub-variants)
Samsung DVE22N6850X and DVE22N6850 series compact electric dryers
Samsung DV22N6800 series compact dryers
Select Samsung-built compact dryers sold under other retail labels
These are Samsung's 24" ventless and compact-footprint dryers, commonly installed in apartments, condos, closets, and stacked laundry towers where a full-size 27" dryer will not fit.
Note — compact platform only: The 6602-001717 is a 2010 mm belt for 24" compact Samsung dryers. It is NOT interchangeable with the 6602-001655 (5PH2337) belt used on Samsung's full-size 27" dryers such as the DV42H, DV45H, DV40J, DV48H, DV48J, and DV50K series — that belt is 2337 mm, roughly 13 inches longer. A full-size belt will hang loose on a compact drum and slip immediately; a compact belt will not stretch far enough to reach around a full-size drum. Measure your old belt or check your model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

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

XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replaces WP8573713
The XPARTCO 8573713 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers. This fuse is mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum, and it's a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant temperatures near the burner climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't heat, even though the drum may still tumble and the rest of the dryer seems to run normally.
Because this fuse sits on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the more accessible blower housing, replacing it is a more involved repair than a typical thermal fuse swap — the drum has to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this fuse cannot be reset once it blows; it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat near the burner is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers that won't heat, even if the drum still tumbles normally. Mounted on the burner funnel under the drum. Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, PS11746693. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer that stopped heating suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer or clothes coming out damp
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before losing heat
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Safety — Shut Off The Gas Supply Before Starting This fuse sits directly on the burner funnel, close to the gas burner assembly. Before beginning, close the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer in addition to unplugging the dryer or shutting off its circuit breaker. If at any point you smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and do not operate any switches — contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. Do not attempt this repair if you are not comfortable working safely around a gas appliance's burner assembly; a qualified technician can complete it instead.
⚠️ Drum Removal Required — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Wear work gloves. This repair requires removing the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the burner funnel, so budget more time and disassembly than a typical thermal fuse swap. Remove the top and front panels according to your model's service diagram, disconnect the drive belt from the idler pulley, and lift the drum out of the cabinet to expose the burner funnel underneath. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Test the old fuse for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming, and test the new fuse to confirm it's good out of the box. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new 8573713 fuse on the burner funnel in the same mounting position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the drum, belt, and panels in reverse order. Restore the gas supply and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer tumbles fine but there's no heat. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a blown gas dryer thermal cut-off fuse. Because this fuse only interrupts the heating circuit and not the drive motor, the drum can continue tumbling completely normally while the dryer produces no heat at all. If you've confirmed the burner isn't igniting and the fuse tests as an open circuit, this is very likely the fix.
Why does this repair require removing the drum? My other dryer's fuse didn't need that.
This particular fuse is mounted on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the blower housing at the back of the cabinet, which is where many thermal fuses on other platforms are located. Reaching the burner funnel requires taking the drum out of the cabinet, which is why this repair involves more disassembly than some other thermal fuse replacements.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long.
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 electrical specifications and mounting configuration of the original WP8573713 thermal cut-off fuse used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers.
