XPARTCO EXP653 Dryer Idler Pulley and Belt Set
2-piece aftermarket repair set replacing Samsung 6602-001655 drum belt and DC93-00634A idler pulley assembly.
Product Overview
The XPARTCO EXP653 Dryer Idler Pulley and Belt Set combines two common drum-drive wear items in one repair kit: a replacement dryer drum belt and a complete idler pulley/tensioner assembly.
The belt transfers motor power to the drum while the idler pulley maintains proper belt tension and tracking. Replacing both worn components together can help restore smooth drum rotation and reduce repeat disassembly.
Quick Answer
EXP653 includes 1 drum belt + 1 idler pulley assembly. The belt replaces Samsung 6602-001655; the idler assembly replaces Samsung DC93-00634A. The belt uses a 5-rib drive surface. This is a quality XPARTCO aftermarket set, not Genuine Samsung OEM.

- Dryer drum will not turn
- Broken, stretched, glazed, or slipping drum belt
- Squealing or chirping from the idler pulley
- Loose or inconsistent belt tension

Installation Notes
- Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before service. Shut off the gas supply on gas models.
- Access the drum-drive system according to the service procedure for your model.
- Note the original belt routing before removal.
- Inspect drum rollers, motor pulley, and drum surfaces for wear or binding.
- Install the idler assembly securely, then route the new belt around the drum, motor pulley, and idler in the correct path.
- Rotate the drum by hand to confirm smooth tracking and correct tension before reassembly.
Diagnostic note: A broken belt can prevent the drum from turning, while a worn or seized idler can create squealing, belt damage, or loss of tension. If the drum remains difficult to turn by hand, inspect the drum rollers and other rotating components as well.
