This Part Fixes These Problems

Drum Won't Spin

Belt is broken or snapped — drum turns freely by hand with no resistance. Replacing the belt restores full drum rotation.

Dryer Makes Loud Noise

A worn, frayed, or slipping belt causes thumping, squealing, or rumbling sounds during the drying cycle.

Dryer Won't Start

Some GE models use a belt switch that cuts power if the belt is broken. A snapped belt may prevent the dryer from starting at all.

Takes Too Long to Dry

A stretched or slipping belt causes the drum to rotate slowly, reducing tumbling action and dramatically increasing dry time.

Burning Smell

A worn belt dragging against components or partially snapped belt caught on the drum can produce a burning rubber odor.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Tell If Your Dryer Belt Is Bad

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer drum does not spin or rotate at all when started

⚠️ Loud thumping, squealing, or rumbling noise during operation

⚠️ Drum tumbles unevenly or stops mid-cycle

⚠️ Belt visibly frayed, cracked, or snapped when you open the cabinet

🔍 Quick Check: Open the dryer door and try spinning the drum by hand. If it spins freely with zero resistance, the drive belt is almost certainly broken. A good belt will offer slight tension as the drum turns.

Questions & Answers

Is the WE12M29 belt the same as WE03X29897?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. WE03X29897 is the updated OEM replacement for the original WE12M29. GE discontinued WE12M29 and WE03X29897 is the direct successor with identical dimensions: 89-1/2 inches long with 4 ribs. Our aftermarket belt is compatible with both part numbers.
Will this belt fit my GE GTDP490ED2WS dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes, the GTDP490ED2WS is one of the confirmed compatible models for the WE12M29 drive belt. It is also compatible with other GTDP490 variants (ED0WS, ED5WS, GD1WS, GD2WS, GD4WS). We recommend checking your model tag inside the door frame to confirm before ordering.
Does this belt work on Hotpoint and Kenmore dryers too?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes. This belt is compatible with GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, and RCA dryers. For Hotpoint, it fits models such as HTDX100ED0WW, HTDP120ED0WW, HTDP120GD0WW, and others in the HTDP/HTDX series. For Kenmore, it fits units labeled 2661532xxx and 2671532xxx. Always verify with your full model number.
How do I know if my dryer belt is broken and needs replacement?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
The easiest test: open the dryer door and spin the drum by hand. If the drum spins completely freely with no resistance, the belt is almost certainly broken. Other signs include a dryer that hums but the drum doesn't rotate, loud thumping or squealing noises, or a burning rubber smell. A healthy belt provides slight tension when you turn the drum manually.
Is this a difficult repair? Do I need a technician?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
This is a moderate DIY repair that most homeowners can complete in 30–45 minutes. You'll need basic hand tools (Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, putty knife) and work gloves. The main steps are removing the control panel, top panel, and front panel to access the drum, then rerouting the new belt around the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley. Repair Clinic and YouTube both offer free video guides specific to GE dryer belt replacement.
