What it fixes
The long belt that loops around the drum and is turned by the motor, so the drum tumbles. Fit it if you see:
- The motor runs but the drum does not turn
- A thumping or flapping noise as the drum spins
- A smell of burning rubber
- The belt looks frayed, stretched or has snapped

Other part numbers it is listed as replacing: WE03X29897, AP4324040, WE12X21574. Matching one of these to the number on your old part is the most reliable check.
Check your model number first. It is on the rating plate — usually inside the door frame, on the back or side panel, or inside the appliance. Parts that look identical often differ by model, so match the number to the listing before you order.
How to fit it
- Unplug the dryer
- Remove the top, front or back panel as needed for your model
- Release the tension on the idler pulley and remove the old belt
- Loop the new belt around the drum with the ribbed side against the drum, then around the idler and the motor pulley
- Check the belt sits straight, refit the panels and test
Difficulty: Moderate. Typical time: 45 to 90 minutes. Read the full dryer drive belt guide, including checks to run before you buy.
Safety. Unplug the dryer before you start (and switch off the breaker if it is hard-wired). A blocked vent is a fire risk, so always clear the cause of any overheating.
