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.

Genuine OEM WH03X32217 Washer Motor Pulley
The WH03X32217 is a genuine OEM 1/2 HP motor pulley and nut from GE for GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, and RCA washers. The pulley mounts on the motor shaft and carries the drive belt that transfers the motor's power to the drum, and the nut secures it to the shaft. A pulley that cracks, wears, or strips its threads can slip on the shaft, squeal, or stop driving the belt, so the drum turns poorly or not at all.
This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the shaft connection match the original. This pulley is for the 1/2 HP motor. Washers with the smaller 1/3 HP motor use a different pulley, so match the part before you order.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WH03X32217 Motor Pulley and Nut fixes a GE-built washer whose 1/2 HP motor pulley is cracked, worn, or has stripped threads, causing a loud squeal, belt slipping, or a drum that won't turn. Genuine OEM from GE Appliances. Classic symptom: the motor runs but the drum turns weakly or not at all, often with a squealing or slipping noise.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud squealing from the motor and belt area
Drum not turning, or turning weakly, while the motor runs
Cracked, worn, or damaged plastic pulley
Stripped pulley threads or a pulley loose on the motor shaft
Drive belt slipping or wearing quickly
Cross Reference Information

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before starting. Following your model's service guide, remove the panel needed to reach the motor and drive belt. Release the belt from the old pulley, then remove the nut holding the pulley to the motor shaft and take the pulley off. Fit the new pulley on the shaft, secure it with the nut, and refit the belt. Check that the belt sits correctly and is not worn, since a worn belt or transmission pulley can cause the same symptoms. Replace the panel, restore power and water, and run a short cycle to confirm the drum turns smoothly. Common tools are pliers, screwdrivers, and a socket set.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer squeals and the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
It can be. A cracked or worn motor pulley can slip and squeal. Inspect the pulley for cracks, wear, or damaged threads, and check the belt and transmission pulley at the same time, since they can fail together.
Is this the right pulley for a 1/2 HP or a 1/3 HP motor?
This one is for the 1/2 HP motor. Washers with a 1/3 HP motor use a different pulley, so check your parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number.
Does it come with the nut?
GE lists this part as a motor pulley and nut. Contact us if you need to confirm what's in the package for your order.
Is this a genuine GE part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Route The Belt Counterclockwise And Check Tension With Two Fingers Disconnect power at the outlet, or turn off the gas supply if applicable, before beginning. Wear work gloves. Slide the dryer away from the wall and remove the vent duct. Remove the screws securing the front panel, typically two at the bottom. Lift the tensioner and slide the old belt off the motor pulley, then remove it from the drum and idler pulley. Remove the drum retainer and pull out the drum for access if needed. Fit the new 312959 belt around the drum, then thread it in a counterclockwise direction around the drive motor and idler pulley. Rotate the drum until the belt settles into its running position. Check the tension by pressing down on the belt with two fingers at the center of the drum — a correctly adjusted belt should give about 1 inch of movement when pushed. If a roller wheel doesn't spin freely, lubricate it before closing everything up. Reinstall the drum retainer, front panel, and vent duct. Restore power (and gas supply if applicable), then test the dryer with the door open, pressing the door's stop-override switch, to visually confirm the drum turns smoothly before running a full cycle. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, 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 or badly worn 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.
How do I know if the new belt is tensioned correctly?
Press down on the belt with two fingers at the center of the drum after installation. A correctly tensioned belt should give about 1 inch of movement when pressed this way. If it feels much looser or tighter than that, double-check the routing around the motor and idler pulley before closing up the dryer.
Should I check anything else while I have the dryer open for this repair?
Yes, it's worth checking that the drum support roller wheels spin freely by hand. One customer found their roller wheel wasn't spinning freely and lubricated it as part of the same repair, since a sticking roller can contribute to belt wear and noise even after the belt itself has been replaced.
What does "Choice" mean for this part?
Choice parts are manufactured by an independent supplier, different from the appliance's original manufacturer, and built to equivalent fit, form, and function specifications. This gives you a dependable, lower-cost alternative to a Genuine OEM part, distinct from our OE parts, which are sourced from the same supplier as the original manufacturer.

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.

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 and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 661570 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. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum rollers (WPW10314173) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.

These are the same belt. 661570V is the updated OEM part number (the "V" denotes the current version) that superseded the original 661570. Both numbers refer to the identical drum belt — this aftermarket replacement is compatible with both.
How does the 661570 differ from the 341241 and W10205415 belts?
All three are Whirlpool-family dryer drum belts, but they differ in length, width, and rib count. The 661570 is 93-1/2" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The 341241 is 92-1/4" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 92" long x 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. 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 hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound, a burning rubber smell, or damp clothes after a full drying cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched out of shape.
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 (W10837240) and drum support rollers (WPW10314173) at the same time. All three parts wear together and are sold together in the 4392067 dryer repair kit. Replacing all three prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
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 high-strength rubber to match the dimensions and performance of the original 661570V belt.

279827 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Drive Motor
The 279827 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer drive motor with pre-attached pulley, compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers. The drive motor is the component that powers everything that moves in your dryer — it turns the drum belt (which rotates the drum to tumble clothes) and simultaneously drives the blower wheel (which pushes heated air through the drum and out the exhaust vent). When the motor fails, the dryer either won't start, won't tumble, stops mid-cycle, or makes loud humming, buzzing, or grinding noises.
This is a dual-shaft motor: the drive shaft (1-3/4" long) connects to the drum belt via the pre-attached pulley, and the blower shaft (1-3/4" long) drives the blower wheel. The pulley is pre-attached and is not available separately — if your old motor's pulley is worn, this replacement includes a new one. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the 279827 is one of the most widely used dryer motors across the Whirlpool platform, replacing over 70 legacy part numbers spanning decades of production. Key cross-references include W10448892, W10396029, W10194250, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, 3391888, 3395652, AP3094245, PS334304, and EAP334304. Includes the motor assembly, two 1/8" insulated female terminals, and instructions. Before replacing the motor, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers) and door switch first — a blown fuse or failed switch produces identical no-start symptoms and is a far cheaper fix. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

Important — Before Replacing the Motor: A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace than the motor. Before ordering, check the thermal fuse (electric dryers — test for continuity with a multimeter), the door switch (test for continuity when pressed), and the start switch. All three produce identical no-start symptoms. Only replace the motor after ruling out these common causes — a motor replacement is a significant repair, and it's far cheaper to replace a $10 thermal fuse than a $150+ motor. Always verify your dryer model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Starting — 240V Circuit (Electric) or Gas Line (Gas) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning — electric dryers operate on a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Pull the dryer away from the wall. Remove the lint screen and the screws beneath it. For most Whirlpool-platform dryers, remove the top panel by releasing the spring clips at the front, then detach the front panel by removing the screws at the top corners. Disconnect the door switch wires and set the front panel aside. Support the drum and slide it forward to access the motor at the bottom rear. Remove the drum belt from the motor pulley and idler pulley. Photograph the motor's wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the electrical connections from the motor. Remove the blower wheel from the old motor's blower shaft — this typically requires a clamp or clip removal (the blower wheel threads off counterclockwise on many models). Remove the motor mounting clip/bracket and lift out the old motor. Install the new 279827 motor in the same position. Transfer the blower wheel onto the new motor's blower shaft and secure it. Reinstall the motor mounting clip/bracket. Reconnect the electrical connections using the included insulated female terminals if needed (match your photos). Re-route the drum belt around the drum, through the idler pulley, and onto the motor pulley. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and lint screen. Restore power (and gas for gas dryers) and run a test cycle — confirm the drum spins smoothly and heated air flows through the drum. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, socket/ratchet set, putty knife (for spring clips), needle-nose pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is the motor definitely the problem?
Not necessarily — and this is important because a motor replacement is a significant repair. A dryer that won't start can be caused by several components that are far cheaper and easier to replace. Before ordering the motor, check these first: 1) Thermal fuse (electric dryers) — a blown thermal fuse is the single most common cause of a no-start condition. Test for continuity with a multimeter; if it reads open, replace the fuse (~$10). 2) Door switch — test for continuity when pressed; if it's failed, the dryer won't start as a safety measure. 3) Start switch — if pressing the start button produces no response at all, the start switch itself may have failed. Only replace the motor after ruling these out. Signs that point specifically to the motor: a loud humming or buzzing when you press start (motor trying but can't turn), grinding or squealing from the motor area, or a motor that runs intermittently and cuts out.
Why does the motor hum but the drum doesn't turn?
A humming motor that won't turn is a classic sign of a seized or failing motor — the windings are energized (hence the hum) but the shaft can't rotate because the bearings have failed or the motor is mechanically stuck. This can also be caused by the blower wheel being jammed with lint or debris, preventing the shaft from turning — so before condemning the motor, check the blower wheel for obstructions. If the blower wheel spins freely and the motor still hums without turning, the motor has failed and needs replacement. Note: a humming motor that won't start will eventually trip the thermal fuse as a safety measure, so you may need to replace both the motor and the thermal fuse.
Why are there so many cross-reference part numbers for this motor?
The 279827 is one of the most extensively cross-referenced parts in the Whirlpool catalog because it's been the standard dryer drive motor across the Whirlpool platform for decades — spanning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Kenmore, and many other brands that Whirlpool manufactures for. Over the years, the motor has been assigned different part numbers by different brands, distributors, and catalog systems (W10448892, W10396029, 8066206, 3395654, 3398046, etc.), but they all point to the same motor. If your old motor shows ANY of those numbers, the 279827 is the correct replacement.
Does this motor come with the pulley?
Yes — the pulley is pre-attached to the motor and is not available separately. The pulley is what the drum belt rides on, transferring the motor's rotation to the drum. If your old motor's pulley was worn or grooved (a common cause of belt slipping and squealing), the new 279827 includes a fresh pulley. You will need to transfer the blower wheel from your old motor to the new one — the blower wheel is not included.
Should I replace the belt and idler pulley while changing the motor?
It's strongly recommended. When you replace the motor, the dryer is already apart and both the drum belt and idler pulley are right there in your hands. All three components wear from the same friction and heat cycles, and installing a new motor with a worn belt or a seized idler pulley puts unnecessary stress on the new motor from day one. Many technicians replace the belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers as standard maintenance whenever the dryer is opened for a motor replacement — the combined cost of these parts is modest compared to the labor of disassembling the dryer again later.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drive motor with pulley installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, and Kenmore dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
