Whirlpool Cabrio dryers are designed to be energy and resource efficient. They have a steam cycle used for refreshing clothing. The belt inside the dryer allows the drum to tumble, drying laundry much more quickly than it would if the drum could not rotate. If the belt stretches out, breaks or otherwise stops functioning correctly, it will need to be replaced. The belt is connected to an idler pulley system within the dryer cabinet.
