Dryer Drum Drive Belt

Restore the quiet tumble of your appliance with this Genuine OEM Dryer Drum Drive Belt. This heavy-duty belt (Part # 137292700) wraps entirely around the exterior of the dryer drum, looping through the motor pulley and idler arm to spin the drum during a cycle. If your dryer turns on and heats up but the drum refuses to spin, or if you hear a loud squealing or thumping noise, the original belt has likely stretched out, cracked, or snapped completely.

Manufactured by Electrolux, this factory-certified belt features multi-grooved construction on its inner track. This design ensures maximum surface traction against the motor pulley, preventing slippage even under heavy, wet laundry loads.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision fit for Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Tappan, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse dryers.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves drums that won’t turn, thumping or squealing noises during operation, and dryers that shut down prematurely due to a broken belt switch.

• Durability: Constructed from premium, heat-resistant rubber reinforced with internal tensile cords to prevent stretching.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Requires removing the front panel and bulkhead to access the interior cabinet.

Pro Tip: Unplug the dryer and shut off the gas line (if applicable) before starting. When threading the new belt over the drum, ensure the grooved side of the belt faces flat against the drum surface, while the smooth side rides against the idler pulley wheel. Since you have the dryer cabinet completely open for this repair, it is the absolute best time to vacuum out any lint buildup around the motor and exhaust ducting to prevent a future fire hazard.

Safety Note: Many modern dryers feature a safety switch near the idler pulley. If the belt snaps, this switch cuts power to the heating element or motor. If your dryer suddenly stopped spinning and heating simultaneously, checking this belt should be your first step.
