Parts for Frigidaire DEDMFL2: 05 - Blower And Drive Parts

This dryer thermostat monitors internal air temperature and opens/closes the heater circuit to keep drying safe and consistent. Replacing a weak or failed thermostat restores proper heat and helps prevent overheating or nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Senses exhaust/heater housing temperature and switches the heating circuit based on temperature
• Helps maintain target drying temperatures for consistent performance
• Provides over-temperature protection by opening the circuit if heat rises too high
• Common symptoms include no heat or weak heat, long dry times, heat cutting out mid-cycle, or the dryer running hotter than normal

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; heating components can be live and hot
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the heater or blower housing behind a rear or front panel
• Transfer wires from the old thermostat to the new one one-at-a-time and secure firmly; ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat
• After replacement, check and clear the venting/duct for proper airflow to prevent repeat failures

The Dryer Belt (Flat Style) is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley, enabling the drum to spin when the motor is running.  

Causes of a bad dryer belt can include wear and tear from regular use, overloading the dryer, or damage from items getting caught in the drum.  

Symptoms of a bad dryer belt include:

• The dryer drum not spinning
• The dryer making unusual noises
• The motor running but the drum remaining stationary
• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying at all

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