• Confirm your dryer’s model number tag to ensure this belt is correct for your machine.

• When installing, inspect the idler pulley, drum rollers, and motor pulley — worn related parts shorten belt life.

• Keep dryer vents clean and ensure proper airflow — restricted exhaust can place extra load on the belt and motor.

• During installation, route the belt according to the manufacturer’s diagram so it fits into the correct groove path.
