W10849499 - Whirlpool Dryer Belt

This Whirlpool Dryer Belt (W10849499) is a genuine part for Whirlpool dryers. It's crucial for transferring rotational power from the motor shaft to turn the drying drum. The rubber belt is designed to stretch over the drive and drum pulleys, ensuring proper tension to prevent slipping. When the belt becomes frayed, cracked, or loose, it requires replacement to maintain the drum's spin function. Belts are essential for effectively tumbling laundry within the dryer. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include an inability to tumble, unusual noises, or a drum that fails to turn at all. To ensure a perfect fit, verify your dryer's model number before purchase.
