Frigidaire Bearing Parts

The Rear Drum Bearing Kit is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It contains a set of parts responsible for supporting the rear end of the dryer drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly and efficiently during the drying cycle.

Symptoms of a faulty Rear Drum Bearing Kit include:

• Excessive noise or grinding sounds coming from the rear of the dryer
• Difficulty in rotating the drum or drum not turning at all
• Visible signs of wear or damage on the existing bearings
• Increased vibrations or shaking during the drying cycle

Causes of needing to replace the rear drum bearing kit can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or lint buildup, or physical damage due to impact or overloading.

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

NOTE: The metal plate holes are not threaded. Use the self-tapping screws provided in the kit to thread the plate.

The Dryer Drum Bearing is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It supports the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This part attaches to the inside of the rear panel of the cabinet, offering support to the dryer drum. 

You should replace the drum bearing if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad drum bearing can include normal wear and tear, overloading the dryer, or lack of lubrication.

Symptoms of a bad drum bearing include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not turning smoothly or becoming misaligned
• Increased friction causing overheating or burning smells
• The dryer not tumbling clothes properly

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

The Drum Glide is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is designed to support the front of the dryer drum as it rotates, allowing the drum to turn smoothly with minimal friction and noise. This is a single glide. Your dryer uses two so it is recommended to replace both at the same time.

Causes of a bad drum glide can include wear and tear from regular use, excessive loads that put undue strain on the drum and its components, or accumulation of lint and debris that can interfere with the glide's movement.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Glide can include:

• Unusual noises, such as screeching or squealing, during operation
• Increased difficulty in turning the drum, leading to longer drying times or incomplete cycles
• Visible wear or damage to the glide itself, indicating it is time for a replacement

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Rear Drum Support Shaft is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers, specifically designed to ensure the stability and smooth rotation of the dryer drum. This component plays a pivotal role in the dryer's operation by supporting the rear of the drum, allowing it to turn evenly and quietly during cycles. Note: The rear drum bearing kit is 5303281153.

The causes behind these issues often stem from normal wear and tear, excessive loads that strain the dryer's components, or lack of regular maintenance. Over time, the support shaft can wear down, become loose, or even corrode, leading to operational inefficiencies and potential damage to the dryer.

Symptoms of a failing Rear Drum Support Shaft include:

• Unusual noises, such as thumping or squeaking, during operation
• The dryer drum struggling to rotate or not rotating at all
• Increased wear on other components, such as the belt or motor, due to improper drum alignment

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

The Spin Bearing is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines, specifically designed to facilitate the smooth and efficient rotation of the washer drum. This bearing plays a pivotal role in the operation of your washing machine, allowing the drum to spin freely with minimal friction and noise.  

Causes for replacement may include wear and tear from regular use, water damage leading to rust or corrosion, or physical damage from excessive load sizes. 

Symptoms of a bad Spin Bearing include:

• Loud noises during the spin cycle, often described as grinding or rumbling
• The drum struggling to spin or not spinning as smoothly as it should
• A noticeable decrease in washing performance due to the drum's impaired movement

This genuine Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore gas ranges.

The Ball is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part helps the drum to rotate smoothly and evenly. It provides a stable and low-friction contact point, allowing the drum to turn efficiently during drying cycles. This is a drum-bearing ball only. For a complete drum bearing and shaft kit order 5303281153.

Causes of a bad ball can include regular wear and tear, friction from continuous drum rotation, or physical damage. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer ball include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not rotating smoothly or becoming unbalanced
• Increased friction leading to higher energy consumption
• Visible wear or damage to the ball

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

This bearing housing secures and supports a rotating shaft or assembly inside your appliance so it turns smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn housing helps reduce noise, wobble, and drag to restore consistent, reliable motion.

• Supports and locates the bearing/shaft interface for smooth rotation
• Maintains alignment of rotating parts to reduce vibration and wear
• Helps prevent scraping or binding as the assembly turns
• When worn, may cause squealing, grinding, rumbling, or uneven rotation

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water if applicable
• Access the assembly and support the drum/basket/drive to relieve load; note orientation before removal
• Transfer any bearing, seal, or hardware from the original housing if required
• Reassemble and verify free rotation by hand before testing

This is a replacement mounting collar used to secure and align associated appliance components for proper fit and operation. It restores the original spacing and support where the factory collar is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point to hold panels, assemblies, or shafts in correct alignment
• Helps prevent excess movement that can cause noise, vibration, or premature wear
• Restores proper spacing to prevent rubbing or binding of adjacent parts
• Useful when a cracked, deformed, or missing collar causes misalignment or rattling

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding parts and mounting hardware; replace any damaged fasteners for a secure fit
• Hand-start fasteners to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to OEM torque if specified

For a complete drum bearing and shaft kit order 5303281153.

The Front Felt Glide Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part allows smooth operation of the dryer drum, providing a felt pad that the drum glides on as it rotates. This not only helps to support the drum but also minimizes friction and noise, contributing to the efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. 

Over time, the felt portion of the glide assembly can wear down, leading to increased friction between the drum and the dryer's front panel.  

Symptoms of a bad Front Felt Glide Assembly include:

• Unusual noises during operation, such as squeaking or grinding
• The dryer drum may catch or hesitate during rotation
• Increased wear and tear on clothing due to the drum's rough movement
• The dryer may take longer to dry clothes efficiently due to the drum's impaired rotation

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