EXP694 Dryer Repair Kit Replaces DC97-16782A, 6602-001655, DC93-00634A
The EXP694 Dryer Repair Kit is a complete drum system rebuild solution designed to restore smooth, quiet, and efficient dryer operation. This kit includes the most common wear components found inside your dryer: drum belt, idler pulley, and drum support rollers.
Over time, these parts wear down together, causing squeaking, grinding, drum slippage, or complete failure to spin. Replacing all components at once ensures proper alignment, eliminates noise, and prevents repeat breakdowns — making this the most effective long-term repair solution.
Quick Answer
The EXP694 Dryer Repair Kit fixes dryers that won’t spin, make loud squeaking or grinding noises, or stop tumbling. It replaces the belt, rollers, and idler pulley to restore smooth and quiet drum operation.

XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch
The XPARTCO 17438200000160 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame switch compatible with select Midea, Insignia gas dryers, including the MLG45N1BWW, MLG45N3BMG, MLG45N3BWW, MLG52S7AWW, CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW series, NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRG67WH8A, NSDRE67WH8AC, NSTDRG75W1. The flame switch is a safety component mounted on the burner assembly that confirms a flame is actually present after the gas valve opens and the igniter lights the burner. If the switch does not detect a flame within the expected window, it signals the control board to shut off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas from continuing to flow into the dryer cabinet.
When the flame switch fails, the dryer may not heat at all, may shut off the burner shortly after ignition (short-cycling the flame), may trip a no-heat fault code on models with digital displays, or — in rarer failure modes — may fail to shut off gas flow appropriately, which is a safety-relevant failure. It directly replaces 17438200000160 (Midea OEM). Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas dryer. Always unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are confirmed secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances or safety-relevant flame-detection components, have this part installed by a qualified technician.
⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Access Requires Cabinet Disassembly Disconnect power and shut off gas before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter and the screws securing the lint filter housing. 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 and burner assembly. Locate the flame switch mounted on the burner assembly — it is positioned to detect the flame produced once the igniter lights the gas. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old flame switch, remove the mounting screw, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438200000160 flame switch in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the front panel, drum, and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites and stays lit normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the flame switch do, and how is it different from an igniter?
The igniter is the component that heats up and ignites the gas at the burner. The flame switch is a separate safety component that confirms a flame is actually present after the igniter has done its job and the gas valve has opened. If the flame switch does not detect the expected flame condition, it signals the control system to close the gas valve, stopping gas flow. This two-part system — ignition plus flame confirmation — is a standard safety design in gas dryers and gas appliances generally, ensuring gas does not continue flowing if combustion isn't actually occurring.
My burner lights and then shuts off after a few seconds — is this the flame switch?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing flame switch. If the switch is not reliably maintaining its "flame detected" signal to the control board even though the burner is genuinely lit, the system may interpret this as a flame failure and shut the gas valve as a safety precaution — causing the burner to repeatedly light and then extinguish. This short-cycling pattern during what should be a continuous heat cycle is a strong indicator that the flame switch needs replacement.
Why is this called a "flame switch" rather than a "flame sensor"?
Different manufacturers use different terminology for similar flame-detection safety components. On Whirlpool-family gas dryers, this type of part is typically called a "flame sensor" — a bimetal-style sensor near the igniter that closes a circuit when it senses sufficient heat. Midea's parts catalog labels this specific component the "flame switch," and it serves an analogous safety role within the Midea gas burner system: confirming the presence of a flame after ignition. The terminology differs by manufacturer, but the safety function is similar in concept.
Why does this repair require opening the whole dryer cabinet?
On Midea gas dryers, the flame switch is mounted directly on the burner assembly inside the dryer cabinet, which is only accessible after removing the lint filter housing, releasing the top panel, and removing the front panel. This is a more involved repair than swapping an externally accessible part, but it follows the same general gas dryer disassembly procedure used for replacing igniters, thermal fuses, and other burner-area components. Since the cabinet must be opened, it can be a good opportunity to inspect other burner components (igniter, gas valve coils) for wear at the same time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and function of the original 17438200000160 Midea flame switch.

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.

XPARTCO W10198086 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WPW10198086
The XPARTCO W10198086 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers. This belt wraps around the drum and the motor pulley, and it's what actually makes the drum turn — the motor drives the belt, and the belt tumbles the drum. When this belt breaks or wears out, the motor can still run, but nothing inside the dryer actually moves.
This is a 5-rib belt measuring approximately 92-1/2"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H, with grooves on one side and a flat surface on the other. A broken or badly worn belt produces an unmistakable symptom: the dryer runs — you'll hear the motor and often the blower — but the drum doesn't turn at all, or turns only briefly before stopping. A simple way to confirm this diagnosis before opening the dryer is to try turning the drum by hand; if it spins freely with no resistance, the belt is almost certainly broken. Overloading the dryer with oversized loads is a common cause of belt failure over time. It directly replaces WPW10198086, W11575709, W11667279, LB8086, 1481904, AP6016842, AH2348726, EA2348726, PS2348726, EAP11750135, PS11750135, AWP49253, and PD00007598.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10198086 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers where the motor runs but the drum doesn't turn, or turns only briefly. 5-rib belt, approximately 92-1/2"L x 5/16"W x 1/8"H. Replaces WPW10198086, W11575709, W11667279, LB8086, 1481904, AP6016842, AH2348726, EA2348726, PS2348726, EAP11750135, PS11750135, AWP49253, PD00007598. Try turning the drum by hand first — if it spins freely with no resistance, the belt has broken.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Check The Idler Pulley While You're In There Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Lift the lint screen cover and remove the two screws underneath it — if your model has a lint screen with a built-in cover, simply pull it out and remove the screws. Run a putty knife around the top edge of the dryer to find the release clips, then press them in to release and swing the top open. Remove the front panel to access the drum and belt area; on many models, all the work for this repair is performed from the front rather than the rear. Route the new W10198086 belt around the drum with the grooved side against the drum, then loop it around the motor pulley and the idler pulley, following the routing diagram on the inside of the cabinet or your old belt's path if it's still intact when you remove it. If the belt broke rather than just wearing out, check that the idler pulley is still properly seated — a belt snapping can sometimes cause the pulley to pop out of position, and reseating it is a quick fix while you already have the panel open. Reinstall the front panel, close the top and secure the release clips, and reinstall the lint screen area and its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum turns smoothly with no slipping or noise. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer runs but the drum won't turn. How do I confirm it's the belt before ordering?
Try turning the drum by hand with the dryer unplugged. If it spins freely with little to no resistance, that's a strong sign the belt has broken, since an intact belt normally provides some resistance from the motor and idler pulley connected to it. If the drum feels stuck or hard to turn instead, the problem may be elsewhere, such as a seized idler pulley or motor issue.
What caused my belt to break in the first place?
Belts wear out from age and normal use, but overloading the dryer with oversized or overly heavy loads is a common accelerating factor, since it puts extra strain on the belt with every rotation. Avoiding overloaded loads going forward can help the new belt last as long as it should.
While replacing the belt, I noticed the idler pulley looks out of place. Is that related?
Yes, this can happen when a belt breaks suddenly — the pulley can pop out of its normal seated position as tension is lost. Since you'll already have the panel open for the belt replacement, take a moment to check that the idler pulley is properly seated before closing everything back up, as this is a common and easy thing to overlook.
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, rib count, and routing configuration of the original WPW10198086 drum belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers.

XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse, 30 AMP 120V
The XPARTCO WE1M1002 is an aftermarket replacement power fuse for GE and Hotpoint dryers, commonly used on GE's commercial and stacked laundry center dryer models. This is a CCMR-class fuse — a current-limiting, fast-acting power fuse — and it plays a fundamentally different protective role than a thermal cut-off fuse. Rather than reacting to excess heat from restricted airflow, this fuse reacts to electrical faults: if the dryer experiences a short circuit or a current overload beyond what the wiring is rated to handle, this fuse opens the circuit immediately to prevent damage to the dryer's electrical components.
Rated 30A, 120V, measuring approximately 3/8"H x 3/8"W x 1-1/2"D. Because this fuse protects against electrical faults rather than heat buildup, a blown WE1M1002 points toward a different diagnostic path than a thermal fuse would: rather than checking the exhaust venting, the more relevant checks are the dryer's wiring, connections, and any component that may have shorted internally. A blown fuse produces a complete loss of power to the dryer — no lights, no display, no response to any control. It directly replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, and EAP3496852.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE1M1002 Dryer Fuse fixes GE and Hotpoint dryers, including commercial and stacked laundry center models, that have completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control. CCMR-class, 30A, 120V. Replaces WE01M1002, 1974262, AP5270172, PS3496852, EAP3496852. This is a power/overcurrent fuse, not a thermal cut-off fuse — if it's blown, check the dryer's wiring and electrical connections for a short or fault rather than the exhaust venting.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer has completely lost power — no lights, no display, no response to any control
Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after an electrical fault or short
Dryer that trips repeatedly after a wiring or component issue elsewhere in the unit
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse
Complete electrical dead-out on a commercial or stacked laundry center dryer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Investigate The Cause Of The Short Before Replacing Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Locate the fuse holder inside the dryer's electrical panel or control housing — access varies by model, so consult your unit's service diagram. Before removing the old fuse, visually inspect nearby wiring and connections for signs of a short, such as scorching, melted insulation, or a loose connection, since this fuse type responds to electrical faults rather than heat buildup from airflow issues. Test the old fuse with a multimeter to confirm it's open (no continuity) before assuming it needs replacement. Remove the old fuse from its holder and install the new WE1M1002 in the same position, making sure it seats fully and securely. Restore power and test the dryer to confirm normal operation. If the new fuse blows again shortly after installation, stop and have a qualified technician diagnose the underlying electrical fault before continuing, since repeatedly replacing this fuse without addressing the root cause can be a sign of a more serious wiring or component issue. Tools needed: fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a thermal cut-off fuse?
They protect against completely different problems. A thermal cut-off fuse reacts to excess heat, usually from restricted exhaust airflow, and its diagnosis typically starts with checking the venting. This WE1M1002 is a CCMR-class power fuse that reacts to electrical faults — a short circuit or current overload — and its diagnosis should focus on the dryer's wiring and electrical connections rather than the exhaust system.
My dryer has completely no power at all. Is this the fuse?
It's a strong possibility, especially if this occurred suddenly or followed any unusual electrical event. Since this fuse protects the dryer's power circuit broadly, a blown fuse can result in a total loss of power — no lights, no display, nothing. Test it with a multimeter for continuity before replacing to confirm.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What should I do?
This is a sign that the underlying electrical fault that blew the original fuse hasn't been addressed. Unlike a thermal fuse blowing from airflow restriction, a repeat blow on this type of fuse points to an ongoing short circuit or wiring problem elsewhere in the dryer. Stop and have a qualified technician trace and repair the fault rather than continuing to replace fuses, since the underlying issue could pose a safety risk if left unresolved.
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 electrical rating and fuse class of the original WE1M1002 power fuse used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and RCA dryers.

XPARTCO 33002535 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WP33002535
The XPARTCO 33002535 is an aftermarket replacement dryer drum belt compatible with a wide range of Maytag, Amana, Crosley, and Kenmore dryers. The drum belt is a long, ribbed rubber belt that wraps around the outside of the dryer drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to spin the drum during every drying cycle. When the belt breaks or wears out, the motor continues to run but the drum stops spinning — clothes tumble only under gravity or not at all, and the dryer produces heat with no airflow through the load.
This belt measures 91-5/8" in length and 5/16" in width, with 5 ribs and 4 grooves — the correct profile to grip the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley on compatible Maytag-platform dryers. Made from high-strength rubber designed to resist stretching, cracking, and heat degradation over years of use. It directly replaces WP33002535, 33001777, 63700300, 791135, WP33002535VP, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the top panel by unscrewing the screws inside the lint screen housing and releasing the front clips with a putty knife. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release tension from the old belt at the idler pulley, then slide the belt off the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley. Note how the belt is routed before removing it — take a photo if needed. Loop the new 33002535 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward (toward the drum). Route the belt under the idler pulley and around the motor pulley, then pull the idler pulley toward you to create tension. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the drum spins. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect the drum support rollers (12001541) and idler pulley (WP6-3700340) for wear and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 33002535 and WP33002535?
These are the same dryer drum belt. WP33002535 is the updated Whirlpool/Maytag OEM part number that superseded the original 33002535. The 33001777 is also a cross-reference for this same belt. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
How do I know if my dryer belt has broken?
The clearest sign of a broken belt is a motor that runs — you can hear it humming — but the drum does not spin when you start the dryer. On most Maytag-platform dryers, you can open the dryer door and try to spin the drum by hand — if it spins very freely with almost no resistance, the belt has likely broken. You can also open the top or front panel to visually inspect the belt; a broken belt will be lying loose inside the cabinet or wrapped around components rather than stretched around the drum.
Should I replace the drum rollers and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, this is the ideal time to inspect and replace the drum support rollers (12001541) and idler pulley (WP6-3700340). These components wear at similar rates to the belt, and a worn roller or pulley bearing is often what caused the belt to wear and break prematurely. Replacing all three together eliminates the most common sources of drum noise and prevents a second teardown in the near future.
Which side of the belt faces the drum?
The ribbed side of the 33002535 belt faces inward — toward the drum surface. The smooth side faces outward, away from the drum. When installing, wrap the belt around the drum with the ribs against the drum, then route the smooth side under the idler pulley and around the motor pulley. If the belt is installed inside-out, it will slip and the drum will not spin correctly.
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 or Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from high-strength rubber to match the length, width, and rib profile of the original WP33002535 drum belt.

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.

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.
