Description
What this belt fixes on a dryer:
- the drum will not turn but the motor hums or runs
- clothes come out cold and not tumbled
- a squeal on start-up that rises with the cycle
Fits: see the model list below and check the model sticker on your appliance before ordering.
Replace it (about 30 minutes):
- Unplug the dryer and remove the front or top panel to reach the drum.
- Note how the old belt routes around the motor pulley and tensioner, then lift it off.
- Loop the new belt around the drum, ribbed side against the pulleys, and thread it through the tensioner and motor pulley.
- Turn the drum by hand two full turns to check the belt is centred, then refit the panel.

About This Part
The drive belt carries the motor’s rotation to the drum. When it stretches, frays or snaps, the motor runs but the drum won’t turn, you may hear squealing on startup, or smell hot rubber. A new belt restores the spin and tumble the machine had when new.
Fitting is a straightforward swap for most owners with basic hand tools — unplug the appliance first, and take a photo before disconnecting anything so reassembly is easy.
- In stock in Sydney — order before 12pm AEST on a business day and it ships the same day
- $10.60 flat-rate delivery Australia-wide, typically 2–7 business days
- 12-month warranty on every part we sell
