134051000 - Electrolux Washer Belt

This Electrolux Washer Belt (134051000) is a genuine part manufactured by Electrolux, designed specifically for use in various residential washers across compatible brands such as GE, Frigidaire, Gibson, Westinghouse, Crosley, and, of course, Electrolux itself. Also known as a "Drive Belt" or "6-Rib Belt," this part plays a crucial role in your appliance's operation.

Belts are essential for transmitting rotational power from the motor to turn the washing machine drum and agitator. Functioning as rubber V-belts fitted on pulleys, they enable component separation while tensioners maintain the necessary tightness. Symptoms indicating the need for replacement include frayed, stretched, slipping, or outright broken belts. A properly functioning belt ensures reliable transfer of the motive force required for spinning wet laundry effectively.

Replacement of this washer belt might become necessary if your appliance’s pumps are not spinning, it is not agitating, or you are noticing excess noise and/or a burning smell during operation. To replace the belt, you will need a Phillips screwdriver, along with pliers and a socket set. During installation, the belt should be placed groove side in around the motor pulley. While guiding the belt with one hand, turn the tub pulley with the other hand to allow the belt to roll completely around the pulley. It is advised to unplug the washer before starting this procedure and to wear work gloves for hand protection.

Before purchasing, make sure to verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
