XPARTCO W10112954 Dryer Drum Belt Replaces WPW10112954
The XPARTCO W10112954 is an aftermarket replacement drum belt for Whirlpool and Maytag electric and gas dryers, and also fits select KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. This belt circles the drum and attaches to the motor pulley, transferring the motor's rotation to keep the drum spinning and tumbling clothes evenly throughout the cycle.
Measures approximately 92-1/2" long, flat design with 5 ribs and 4 grooves for a secure grip and smooth rotation. Over time, the belt can stretch, lose tension, or break from regular use and age. If your dryer's motor is running but the drum isn't turning, this belt has likely worn out or broken. Symptoms of a failing belt include the drum not spinning, unusual noises like squealing or rubbing, extended drying times, or unexpected stops mid-cycle. It directly replaces AP6015116, PS11748388, EAP11748388, and 1447719.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10112954 Dryer Drum Belt fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers where the drum isn't spinning, or where you hear squealing/rubbing noise or notice extended drying times. Approximately 92-1/2" long, 5 ribs, 4 grooves. Replaces AP6015116, PS11748388, EAP11748388, 1447719. Since this is a bigger repair requiring the dryer to be mostly taken apart, it's a good time to also inspect or replace the idler pulley, which shares the same duty cycle as the belt.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer's motor runs but the drum won't turn. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is the classic sign of a broken or badly worn drum belt. If the motor sounds like it's running normally but the drum stays still, the belt has likely stretched beyond its ability to grip, or has snapped and is no longer transmitting rotation from the motor to the drum.
Should I replace the idler pulley at the same time as this belt?
It's worth considering. Since replacing this belt requires a fair amount of disassembly to access the drum and pulley system, and the idler pulley shares the same duty cycle as the belt, one customer specifically ordered both together and reported a perfect fit for each. Replacing both at once can save you from needing to open the dryer back up again soon after if the pulley is also nearing the end of its life.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's more involved than some dryer repairs — one customer specifically noted that "replacing the dryer belt is a big project, need to take the whole thing apart." Basic hand tools like a nut driver and Phillips screwdriver are all that's required, but budget more time for this repair than a simple part swap.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the length, rib pattern, and groove design of the original WPW10112954 drum belt used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and related electric and gas dryers.
