WP40111201 - Whirlpool Dryer Belt

This Whirlpool Dryer Belt (WP40111201) is a genuine part, exclusively designed for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a critical role in your dryer's operation, transmitting rotational power from the motor shaft to turn the drying drum. The belt, made of durable rubber, stretches over the drive and drum pulleys. Proper tension is crucial to prevent slipping, and when frayed, cracked, or loose, the belt requires replacement to maintain the dryer's spin function. Belts are essential for transferring force to tumble laundry efficiently. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a new belt include screeching noises during operation, inability to tumble (suggestive of a broken belt), insufficient heat production, or complete failure to start. This belt also goes by the name "multi rib belt," known for wrapping all the way around the dryer drum, a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor pulley. Before purchasing this part, check your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
