Disappointed in parts not correctly labeled as sho
June 15, 2022

The belt does not fit Maytag Bravo series. The pulley was too thick. Not as pictured. Also, Maytag dryer, which I did verify the model number for for the parts kit, takes 5 rollers. Had to buy extra thru Sears and reuse an old one. Spent close to $68 for this kit thru Sears. I ended up getting the correct pulley for $5.99 on Amazon, the very next day!

My brother called needing a part for his daughters dryer. I know nothing of these things but luckily it was a Kenmore and found it super easy to find just what I needed and it was on sale. Ordered and had it shipped right to his door. I don't know how it was to install but the laundry is getting done. Made me feel like a super hero.
