Whirlpool 341241 Dryer Drum Belt

We ordered this at the beginning of September and didn’t end up getting it until two months later, they I initially said would deliver in less than a week and it kept pushing and pushing. We ended up buying the cheapy $9 one which did last us a year, had to install that one, and then once this arrived we put it in our laundry storage for the next time the other belt breaks off. The fabric backing makes this look and feel more sturdy than those cheap ones. The thickness seems just the same as the other rubber ones, should be able to be placed just the same, thankfully this model is easy to replace, but always check the pulley and other components. Will update probably in a year when the other one breaks off. Update 12/31/24: this has been working well, there is no noise, the speed is normal, definitely fits well and spins on the barrel much easier than any other belts I’ve used.

So I’ve ordered a few belts I think the is the best one the others didn’t have the red on the back of the belt. I did still have a spinning problem with this belt and needed to take it back apart. With the drum off I could see that my drive pully was worn out. Got that changed now it’s good as new agin!! If your still not spinning with a new belt I’d check that mine had no belt grooves left.

This belt fits the model specs. This is just like OEM style, and the price is awesome.

My old belt began to squeal when starting dryer - understandable after 10 plus years of heavy usage. Made in USA. Replacement takes 30 minutes and is easier with two people. Good belt!

This is an exact replacement for our dryer. The original belt lasted nearly 15 years. The first replacement lasted one month and the second lasted 6 months in a 2-person home. This new belt has the red outer coating, which I believe indicates an original part. It was a perfect fit and an easy install, however I can't rate it on longevity. It is not clear as to why the new belts are failing, as there is no obvious alignment issue at play. I will make it a habit to lift the top of the dryer every few weeks to see if there are signs of failure instead of waiting for the belt to break. UPDATE: I learned that wear on the drive pulley increases friction on the belt, causing failure. Be sure to check the drive motor pulley for the grooves which should match up with the ribs in the belt. If these are worn or missing, you likely need a pulley also.

Worked very well. Came fast and was the right size.

Perfect fit with good tread on the belt. It was an easy DIY with YouTube videos for my Amana dryer.

Works really well, better than the ones that come with the kit
