Easy install, correct part, way too expensive!

Was replacing the heating element, checked the blower belt, it was badly cracked so did some preventative maintenance. Very easy to replace once you have the drier torn apart. Overall , an easy fix and beats paying a repair guy to come out or to haul to the repair shop.

Worth the extra money for OEM and piece of mind!

Pretty simple install of drum belt. My idler pulley was bad, but I decided to do the belt also. Old belt was a bit stretched so this new one fit snug and reduced noise from drum spinning. Old pulled had a squeak then eventually broke internally and the belt came off and dryer wouldn't start. I have a (somewhat old I think prob 2005+) Kenmore model 11067042600. I also replaced the dryer blower belt which was noticeably worn with perpendicular/lateral breaks in the rubber and was also a bit stretched. All in all it was $107 after 10% off from this website which is more than I was hoping, but I wasn't sure of fitment of 3rd party parts and reliability seemed to be a problem so I paid about triple the price to not have to spend another hour or two ripping this dryer apart again in the future and losing my initial investment on bad/cheap parts. Time is money. Also I think the Whirlpool parts are same, but diff part numbers and it was $1 cheaper, but wasn't worth the risk for me. I hope this review helps and good luck. It's quite easy if you're handy and know a little about mechanical stuff. I turned the blower nut by hand with belt pulled/stretched to one side to force it on. The belt is strong/quality and didn't seem like it would break.

From Bad to Good
January 25, 2020

Ordered dryer belt from another company first. It was a struggle to get it on and then it ended up fraying. The other company wouldn't replace it, so we had to go elsewhere. My mother suggested Sears. The part came in quick, went on smooth and is running perfectly!
