Whirlpool W10847984 Dryer Belt Switch
Product Description
The Whirlpool W10847984 is a critical component in your dryer, specifically a belt switch. This switch ensures that the drum spins properly during the drying cycle. As the dryer belt turns the drum, the belt switch lever comes into contact with it. This causes the switch to send a signal to the dryer's control panel, indicating that the belt is installed and functioning properly. If the belt breaks or loosens, the switch lever will not function and the signal will not be transmitted. As a result, the control panel will not start the drum rotation, rendering the dryer inoperable. This belt switch is only used on Whirlpool dryers. It ensures the dryer runs safely and efficiently by preventing the motor from straining due to a loose or broken belt.
