🧾 Description
Keep your dryer running smoothly with the WP40113601 Drive Belt, a genuine OEM replacement part designed by Whirlpool.
This dryer drum belt wraps around the dryer drum, motor pulley, and tension pulley to rotate the drum during operation. When the belt becomes worn, cracked, or broken, your dryer may run but the drum won’t turn, leading to damp clothes and longer drying times.
Constructed from high-strength, heat-resistant rubber with reinforced fibers, the WP40113601 is built to handle the high-speed tension and heat generated by regular dryer use — restoring quiet, efficient, and reliable performance.
⚠️ Note: Always disconnect power before installation. Confirm your model number to ensure proper fit.

When replacing the belt, inspect the idler pulley and drum rollers for wear — these parts often fail together.

For optimal performance, clean the drum support area and motor pulley to ensure proper tension and smooth operation.
