• Replaces a deteriorated or missing seal to restore the intended air path

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models
• Access the air duct by removing the lint screen and top/front panels as needed
• Remove the old seal and any residue; clean mating surfaces before installing the new seal
• Seat the duct evenly against the panel when reassembling to ensure a uniform seal

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Frigidaire clothes dryers. This component works to propel hot air through clothes during drying cycles.

Causes of a bad blower wheel involve wear from years of operation, such as bearing deterioration or plastic fan blade cracking/warping. Foreign object damage or improper cleaning techniques pose other risk factors.

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Slow or weak drying even on high heat settings
• Loud clanking or grinding noises from inside the duct
• The dryer not activating or functioning when turned on
• Reduced air discharge observable at the vent

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

Keep your dryer tumbling smoothly by restoring proper belt tension. This idler spring attaches to the idler arm and maintains tension on the drive belt so the drum turns reliably without slipping or squealing. What it does:

• Applies constant tension to the idler pulley to keep the drive belt tight around the drum and motor
• Helps resolve a drum that won't turn or tumbles intermittently
• Addresses belt issues such as slipping off, appearing loose, or premature breakage from low tension
• Can reduce squealing/chirping from the idler area caused by belt slip

• 1 idler spring

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly by removing the front or lower access panel per your model
• Relieve belt tension, unhook the old spring from the idler arm/frame, and install the new spring in the same orientation and holes
• Rotate the drum by hand to check smooth operation before reassembly

The Idler Arm Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is an essential component of the dryer's drum support system, responsible for maintaining the proper alignment and smooth rotation of the drum during operation. The idler arm assembly typically consists of an idler arm, pulley, and bearings, working together to support the weight of the drum and facilitate its rotational movement.

Symptoms of a bad idler arm assembly in a dryer include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer
• Difficulty in starting or maintaining the drum's rotation
• Potential damage to other components due to misalignment

Causes of a bad idler arm assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage from foreign objects entering the drum, or issues with the bearings or pulley components. A faulty idler arm assembly can lead to improper drum alignment, increased friction, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Ignitor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It serves as the ignition source safely firing up burners to initiate drying cycles. 

Causes usually relate to the continual thermal shock experienced from heating and then rapidly cooling over extended use. As a foundational safeguard, ignitors require OEM replacement when arcing declines. 

Symptoms of a faulty ignitor can include:

• The dryer fails to start or stop heating intermittently   
• Cycles taking overly long to complete or feel uneven
• Excessive service calls relating to "no heat" troubles  
• Risk of uncombusted gas pooling in dryer if ignition falters
