Frigidaire/Electrolux Dryer Drive Belt (Part # 134503600)

Restore smooth, quiet tumbling to your laundry routine with this Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dryer Drive Belt. This factory-certified replacement rubber belt (Part # 134503600, which directly replaces older part numbers like 134051000, 1156860, and AH1149174) is the primary mechanical link that wraps completely around the outer perimeter of your dryer drum, connecting it directly to the motor pulley and idler arm.

Manufactured directly by Electrolux, this heavy-duty belt features a multi-grooved internal design that grips the high-speed motor shaft without slipping under the weight of heavy, wet clothes. Over years of handling constant heat and tension cycles, the rubber compound naturally stretches, cracks, or dries out. If your dryer motor hums but the drum refuses to spin, or if the dryer suddenly won’t turn on at all (due to a broken belt safety switch), your drive belt has likely snapped or slipped off its tracks.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision engineered for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore (417-Series), Crosley, Gibson, Tappan, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse clothes dryers.

• Specifications: Standard 4-groove (5-rib) structural design measuring approximately 87-3/4″ in length and 1/4″ in width.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves a dryer drum that won’t turn or spin, loud squeaking or thumping noises during operation, a humming motor with no movement, or a dead appliance caused by an activated belt break sensor.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Requires removing the front cabinet panels to wrap the new belt around the drum barrel.

Pro Tip: When threading this new belt, orientation is critical for mechanical grip. Always install the belt with the grooved (ribbed) side facing flat down against the metal dryer drum, and the smooth side facing outward away from it. When you wrap it down around the lower motor pulley at the bottom of the cabinet, the grooved side must align perfectly into the matching grooved teeth of the small brass motor gear, while the smooth backside of the belt rides flush against the plastic wheel of the spring-loaded idler pulley arm.

How the Idler Assembly Looks When Threaded Properly:

Step-by-Step Replacement Guidelines:

1. Isolate Power: You must completely unplug the dryer’s heavy 240V power cord or shut off the main dual-pole house circuit breaker to prevent high-voltage shocks while working near electrical elements.

2. Remove Top and Front Panels: Unthread the screws holding the top main lid and slide it off. Unplug the door safety switch wire harness, unbolt the main front door panel bulkhead from the interior framework, and lift the entire front panel off the bottom alignment tracks.

3. Position the New Belt: Loop the fresh, genuine belt completely around the center section of the dryer drum barrel like a hoop, ensuring the ribbed side is facing the metal skin. Use the belt as a makeshift sling handle to lift the drum slightly and guide the front edge of the drum onto its front supporting rollers.

4. Lock the Tension: Reach your hands underneath the bottom floor of the drum into the lower right quadrant. Pull the spring-loaded metal idler pulley arm to the left to compress the spring, thread the lower loop of the belt underneath the idler wheel, and hook the final loop securely onto the grooved teeth of the motor shaft pulley. Slowly rotate the drum by hand a few turns to verify the belt tracks perfectly straight without twisting.

Are you installing this belt today because your original line snapped completely in half, or is your drum spinning slowly and slipping under a full load of laundry?
