341241 Whirlpool Dryer Drum Belt

The Dryer Drive Belt wraps around the motor and pulley. The motor rotates the belt and the belt tumbles the drum. If your dryer is noisy, won't tumble, or won't start, replacing the drive belt may alleviate these issues.To access the drive belt, first lift up the lint screen cover and remove the two screws. If you have the type of lint screen that has the cover built in, just pull it out and then remove the screws. Next, take a putty knife around the edge of the top of your dryer and find the release clips--press these in to release the top of the dryer so you can swing it open. The front panel also needs to be removed to replace the belt. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
