Part 661570V
Purpose
Dryer drum drive belt—powers drum rotation
Details
This OEM dryer belt is a long, narrow, ribbed loop designed to wrap around the drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley. Measuring approximately 93½ inches in length with a 4-rib, 3-groove profile, it translates motor power into smooth drum rotation. If the drum will not turn when the dryer is powered on, a broken or stretched belt is often the culprit—replacing it restores proper operation.
Compatible Models
Compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-made dryers and select cross-brand units—including models from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral—variations do occur; please confirm compatibility using your model’s parts diagram.
Replaces
Replaces part numbers 661570, 3387610, and 3393999—compatibility varies; always confirm with your model’s diagram.
