Description of Long-Lasting Replacement Washer Belt: Blue Stars 8540101 - Exact Fit For Whirlpool & Kenmore Washers

⚠️ ATTENTION: You might find the belt rather tight at first. All you do is tie 2 zip ties around the belt and the main big drum pulley. Line grooves of belt aligned with grooves of motor shaft below the main drum. Then slowly start stretching the belt over the larger drum pulley slowly spinning the pulley until its tight. Then use your zip ties to fix the belt to the large pulley and then you slowly spin the pulley with a lot of force. The belt will stretch and that is normal. 😊 PREMIUM QUALITY: The replacement part is made of durable high-quality rubber and well-tested by the manufacturer - Ensures a long-lasting and effective performance. The 8540101 Washer Belt is 0.37 an inch wide and 48 inches long, features 6 ribs and 5 grooves. 😊 EASY TO INSTALL: It is made exactly fit for most top name brands (Whirlpool, Kenmore, Inglis, Amana, Maytag) and replaces part numbers: WP8540101, 8540348, AP6013037, PS11746258. 😊 SAVE TIME AND SAVE MONEY: Inexpensive way to fix or repair a washer. This part fixes the following symptoms: Pumps but will not spin | Noisy | Will not agitate | Spins slowly. 😊 100% LIFETIME WARRANTY: Customer satisfaction is our priority. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, we will compensate you and offer extra benefits to ensure your rights. Buy with confidence!

Tight fit but just use zip ties and you're golden!

I thought the belt was the wrong size initially, after reading further reviews, that's the way the belt is supposed to be and actually the manufacture even says there is a "knack" to getting the belt on. All you do is tie 2 zip ties around the belt and the main big drum pulley. Line grooves of belt aligned with grooves of motor shaft below the main drum. Then slowly start stretching the belt over the larger drum pulley slowly spinning the pulley until its tight. Then use your zip ties to fix…

Pros
  • Improved Efficiency
Cons
  • The product may not come with clear instructions on how to install it, causing confusion and possible damage during the installation process

DO NOT BUY best in my review

This is not the correct replacement for belt #8540348. Grooves do not match at all. It does not stretch at all. Worked over an hour trying to get it on and finally gave up. Ordered from a local company and it fit perfectly! I returned this one to China-ebay.

Pros
  • Arrived quickly. Was very tight, took some elbow strength but got it installed and working great.
Cons
  • Same as all the other 1 star ratings it is TOO short and TOO narrow.

very tight going on

Whirlpool front load belt replacement.i was in the appliance repair field (back in the day) and this was the tightest belt going on i ever experienced.Use the zip ties if installing alone, not sure if needed with 2 people and one turning drum from front.

Pros
  • Exact Fit Design
Cons
  • The exact fit may be too rigid, causing undue strain on the motor, leading to damage or malfunction of the motor or the belt itself

DO NOT BUY for my opinion

It snapped during installation. Went to a local parts store and bought an OEM belt and it went on perfectly. Just spend the extra money and save the headache.

Pros
  • Belt is working great so far. Seems to be good quality.
Cons
  • Belt did not fit Kenmore HE2T. I missed the deadline :(

Pros
  • A plus spins like it did when it was new
Cons
  • The belt was to short it didn’t work had to Order from from wp

Only lasted 5 months! 😡

I bought this to replace original best on a 11 year old washing machine. The original belt lasted 11 years this replacement belt only lasted 5 months! I tried to find customer service for Bluestars but could not find a contact. Hopefully they will see this and send another belt. I ordered a new belt but looks like I need to keep a spare around! 😡

Pros
  • Dryer Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • the belt did not fit properly

Used on whirlpool duet

Quick shipping and belt measures up in length with old belt. Waiting to install because the basket w/spider arm is back ordered.

Pros
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your washer is running smoothly and efficiently with a high-quality replacement washer belt can provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on other things
Cons
  • The price of the product may be higher than that of other non-OEM belts, leading customers to opt for cheaper alternatives that may not fit their washer as well as this one

Whirlpool washer belt

Good product and great price, there is no adjustment for belt tension so you have to stretch belt to install, not an easy task, but has washer working like it should again

Pros
  • The belt went on easy enough. Washer works better than ever .
Cons
  • Old belt on top, new belt on bottom. Same part number. 8540101.
