Parts for Frigidaire FDE747RBS0: 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

This factory 8-18 screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replace missing or stripped hardware to restore a tight, rattle-free assembly and dependable operation.

• Fastens components to frames, brackets, and covers
• Replaces missing, damaged, or rusted screws
• Helps reduce looseness, vibration, and rattling noises
• Restores proper alignment of panels and assemblies

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas/water if applicable
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the proper driver
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping metal or plastic

This drive belt transfers the motor's power to the machine's drive system so the tub or drum can rotate. Replacing a stretched, glazed, or broken belt restores consistent movement and helps eliminate slippage noises and burning-rubber odors.

• Transfers rotation from the motor pulley to the drive/transmission pulley
• Typical symptoms of a worn belt: no spin or weak spin, no agitation, motor runs but tub/drum doesn't move
• Visual signs include cracks, fraying, glazing, or excessive slack

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the belt by removing the appropriate panel; note the belt routing before removal
• Release the tensioner or loosen motor mounts to remove the old belt, then fit the new belt around the pulleys and rotate by hand to seat it
• Confirm proper tracking and clearance before reassembly and test run

This hex head screw spacer is a replacement threaded fastener that secures and spaces components while cutting its own thread in softer mating material for a tight fit. It's useful for repairs where the original spacer screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Acts as a spacer and fastener to hold panels, brackets, or assemblies at a set distance
• Thread-cutting tip forms secure threads in compatible materials for reliable engagement
• Helps stop movement or vibration of connected parts that can cause noise or wear
• Commonly used where the original hex-head spacer screw is corroded, stripped, or broken

• Use the correct screwdriver or wrench on the hex head to avoid rounding the fastener
• Start threads straight and apply steady pressure; do not force if resistance indicates misalignment
• Use appropriate torque — overtightening can strip the formed threads or damage parts
• Wear eye protection and follow appliance power/disconnect safety before servicing
