Misha K. I just bought a second-hand stackable gas washer/dryer Frigidaire unit from a second-hand/appliance refurbishing store. When I used the dryer on top there were a bunch of little centimeter or so little pegs/bolts that came out with my dried load. I heard the dryer making more "clinking" noise than usual but just thought it must be that there were a bunch of zippers clinking around in the dryer... I figured out when I got all the clothes out that there were six of these little metal loose pegs/bolt things in there. There was a little F on the end of each one which I assume stands for "Frigidaire". Now I'm worried that something came apart or is falling apart inside my dryer... But the thing is that the dryer is working great. No weird noises, its turning great, and heating up great, etc... So these little pegs were just in there but nothing else seems to be wrong except that now I'm freaked out about what they are? I looked it up and they look a little like some of the drum roller axles I've seen. So my question is this: Could my dryer work properly and with no problems if the drum roller axles fell out? Also, is there anything else that you could think of that those little pieces might be other than drum roller axles? I'm hoping and thinking maybe that when the repair shop refurbished my unit that they put new drum roller axles in (or maybe other parts if that's not what those pieces are) that they left the old ones somehow "in" the unit and they spilled out into the dryer when I did my load... I don't know how else my dryer could seem to be functioning perfectly when pieces seem to have fallen out. If you can shed any light as to my above questions and if you think that my speculation that the old pieces may have somehow been left in is a possibility I would greatly appreciate any help! Just a worried mom here who has no more money to spend on breaking-down appliances and I would SO appreciate anyone who is smarter than me about this stuff to help me. Thanks so much!
Answer Misha, Just because the little screw had a F on them does not reference that they are Frigidaire. It is possible that someone could have left something in their pockets and this is where it is from. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, December 2, 2014
