Product review (5 stars): Genuine Whirlpool
My 9 year old Maytag dryer died yesterday to where it would power up but it would not turn the drum, as it has several times in the past. I've always followed the troubleshooting guide to figure out what was wrong with it. The first time it was the expensive electronic control panel and the other times it was inexpensive thermal fuses.  This time everything was checking good and I had no clue what else out could be. I suspected maybe a bad motor so I took the back panel off to check it out. To my surprise, I had tons of black bits all over the dryer bottom, which was actually my drum belt that had basically shredded to pieces. A quick search on Amazon brought be to this item and I was able to get same day shipping. The belt arrived swiftly and was indeed a genuine OEM Whirlpool part. After taking a couple pieces off the back to route the new belt around the drum, the belt was installed in just a couple minutes. It fit like a glove and it was exactly what I needed to get my dryer running again.  If your dryer won't start and your roubleshooting steps have not led to to an bad part, take the back panel off and inspect your belt. It's only been installed for a few hours so I can't comment on it's longevity but if it's anything like the original it should last about 10 years.
