Frigidaire Dryer Parts

This air duct seal creates a tight barrier between the dryer's lint housing and cabinet. Replacing a worn seal helps prevent air leaks, maintain proper airflow through the lint filter, and restore consistent drying performance.

• Seals the air duct/lint housing to the front panel to direct airflow through the lint screen and drum
• Helps maintain dryer efficiency and temperature control by preventing bypass air leaks
• Common symptoms of a failed seal include longer dry times, weak exhaust airflow, excess lint inside the cabinet, or lint around the door opening
• Replaces a deteriorated or missing seal to restore the intended air path

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models
• Access the air duct by removing the lint screen and top/front panels as needed
• Remove the old seal and any residue; clean mating surfaces before installing the new seal
• Seat the duct evenly against the panel when reassembling to ensure a uniform seal

This door switch detects whether the appliance door is open or closed. A working switch lets the machine start when the door is fully shut and stops operation when the door opens for safety.

• Monitors door position and allows the cycle to run only when closed
• Interrupts power to stop operation when the door opens
• Common symptoms of a failing switch: appliance won't start with the door closed, must press/hold the door to run, interior light stuck on/off, or a "door open" message on models with a display

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the switch at the door opening/front panel; release mounting screws or locking tabs and remove the switch
• Move wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct positions
• After reassembly, test switch operation before running a cycle

Keep your dryer tumbling smoothly by restoring proper belt tension. This idler spring attaches to the idler arm and maintains tension on the drive belt so the drum turns reliably without slipping or squealing. What it does:

• Applies constant tension to the idler pulley to keep the drive belt tight around the drum and motor
• Helps resolve a drum that won't turn or tumbles intermittently
• Addresses belt issues such as slipping off, appearing loose, or premature breakage from low tension
• Can reduce squealing/chirping from the idler area caused by belt slip

• 1 idler spring

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly by removing the front or lower access panel per your model
• Relieve belt tension, unhook the old spring from the idler arm/frame, and install the new spring in the same orientation and holes
• Rotate the drum by hand to check smooth operation before reassembly

Small spacer that fits on the idler assembly shaft to properly align the belt tensioner. Replace if worn, cracked, or missing to maintain proper spacing.

Dryer overheating or taking too long to dry? This control thermostat regulates internal temperature by cycling the heater on and off. Easy replacement.

Dryer won't heat? A faulty gas burner assembly prevents proper flame and ignition. This part restores heat for efficient drying. DIY repair in 1-2 hours.

Fastens panels, brackets, and internal components in your dryer. Replace stripped, rusted, or missing screws to restore secure mounting and alignment.

This safety thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that helps protect your appliance from overheating. When excessive heat is detected, it opens the circuit to stop power to critical components, helping prevent damage and ensuring safe operation.

• Monitors temperature at a specific location and interrupts power if it exceeds a safe limit
• Can cause no power, no heat, or shutdown during use when failed or tripped
• Helps prevent overheating damage to internal components
• Restores normal operation when replaced

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation before removal
• Use proper tools and avoid bending or stressing terminals
• After installation, check for underlying overheating causes (blocked airflow, failed fan, etc.)

Dryer duct that routes hot air through the ventilation system. Replace if cracked, warped, scorched, or causing debris to attach to clothing during cycles.

Dryer won't start, won't advance cycles, or displays PAU error? This electronic control board manages timing and functions. Moderate DIY repair.

Dryer not starting or power cutting out? A melted or corroded terminal block disrupts power flow. This 3-terminal block restores secure connections. DIY-friendly repair.

Replaces damaged or burnt-out dryer interior light assembly. Restores visibility when door opens. Includes bulb and socket. Verify fit by model number.

This is the lower access panel, also called a toe panel, that attaches to the front bottom of the washer. It covers the internal components beneath the drum area and provides a finished appearance. Replace this panel if it is dented, cracked, rusted, or if the mounting tabs are broken, leaving the lower portion of the machine exposed.

Dryer not heating or overheating? A faulty temperature control thermostat often causes inconsistent heat cycles. This part regulates dryer temperature.

Secures and supports the rotating drum shaft for smooth, quiet operation. Replace if your dryer squeals, wobbles, or drags. Confirm fit with your model.

Burner orifice that meters gas flow to your dryer's burner. Replace if clogged, damaged, or wrong size for fuel type during LP/natural gas conversion.
