Frigidaire 5303281154 Dryer Drum Belt OEM Part

Replaced upper and lower felts. Painted rubbing surface on inside of drum with refrigerator enamel. Took out drum and lubed rear bearing. Replaced 2 of the 3 thermostats, and the belt just on principle. Spent a lot of time with shop-vac removing lint from drier and exhaust ducts. Runs great and is no longer cooking or staining clothes.

Replaced the Idler Pulley, which I think was the problem, but also replaced the bearing the tub rotates on and the belt while I was going to have the dryer apart anyway (and I used the high Temp Lubricant on the bearing.) Watching the repair video was helpful so I didn't run into any surprises.

How-to video showed me that I didn't have to dismantle the whole machine just to put on a new belt.

Popped open top, took out 4 screws on front and removed. Took out 3 screws on back of tub and removed. Loosened spring and replaced idler, very simple. put tub back in and put on belt. Hard to see so had to feel where to put belt on drive pulley. Put front back on, popped top in and started it up. Quite simple and works like a new one. Runs very quiet.

My dryer is about 30 years old and two years ago I had to replace the original belt because it broke. Recently my dryer stopped working mid-cycle due to the fact that the belt slipped off the pulley and a kink was created in the belt. I decided to order a new belt and pulley. My husband installed it with no problem and it's been great since. My dryer had been making a lot of squealing noises prior to fixing it and now it's so quiet I have to check to make sure it's still running! My thanks to ApplianceParts Pro for their great service and low prices. I will definitely order from this company again.
