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.
