The Drum Drive Belt is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It connects the drum to the motor, enabling the drum to rotate and tumble the clothes during drying cycles. The belt is 54 inches long and 5/8 inches wide
You should replace this drum drive belt if it becomes worn out, frayed, or broken due to the high heat and friction involved in the drying process. Additionally, improper loading or overloading of the dryer can cause the belt to stretch or snap.
Symptoms of a bad drum drive belt include:
- Dryer drum not turning
- A loud thumping or squealing noise during operation
- Dryer stopping mid-cycle
- Clothes remaining wet after the drying cycle
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
