BILL FITZGIBBONS LLC, located at 205 Sheffield, San Antonio, TX, 78213-2600, and reachable at 281-588-5449, specializes in getting you the exact parts you need, fast. And right now, they’re focusing on a common culprit for dryer woes: the Whirlpool dryer belt. “We see it all the time,” says Bill Fitzgibbons, the company's founder. “People get frustrated when their dryer stops working, and they assume it’s a major repair. But a broken or worn-out dryer belt is super common. It’s honestly one of the first things you should check.” Why Does a Dryer Belt Break Anyway? Think about it – that belt is constantly spinning, carrying the weight of your wet clothes. Over time, that constant friction and strain takes its toll. Things like overloading the dryer, or just the natural wear and tear from years of use, can cause the belt to stretch, crack, or even snap. And when that happens, your dryer drum just…stops tumbling. “It’s like the engine in a car,” explains Fitzgibbons. “Things wear out. You gotta replace ‘em eventually. The good news is, a dryer belt is a relatively inexpensive part, and it’s something a lot of folks can handle themselves with a little bit of know-how.” BILL FITZGIBBONS LLC: Getting You the Right Belt, Fast So, how do you know if it is the belt? A few telltale signs: Dryer drum doesn’t turn: This is the most obvious one. If you manually try to spin the drum, and it’s locked up, chances are the belt is broken. Squealing or screeching noises: A worn belt can start to slip, creating those annoying sounds. Dryer takes a long time to dry: If the drum isn’t tumbling, clothes aren’t getting properly exposed to the heat. Burning smell: A slipping belt can generate friction and a burning odor. If you suspect a bad belt, BILL FITZGIBBONS LLC makes it easy to get the right replacement. “We’re not just about selling parts,” says Fitzgibbons. “We want to make sure you get the correct part for your specific Whirlpool dryer model.

There are tons of helpful videos and guides online (BILL FITZGIBBONS LLC can even point you to some good ones!). Here's a basic rundown: 1. Unplug the Dryer: Safety first! 2. Access the Belt: You’ll usually need to remove the back panel of the dryer. 3. Remove the Old Belt: This might involve loosening tension pulleys. 4. Install the New Belt: Route the new belt around the drum and pulleys. 5. Reassemble: Put the back panel back on. 6. Plug it Back In & Test: Give it a spin!
