Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 131775600
The Blower Housing Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It houses the blower wheel, which circulates air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust. This assembly ensures that hot air is efficiently directed through the dryer to dry clothes properly.
Over time, the blower housing assembly can become damaged or worn out, affecting the dryer's performance. Causes of a bad blower housing assembly can include accumulation of lint or debris, wear and tear from frequent use, or physical damage to the housing or blower wheel.
Symptoms of a bad Blower Housing Assembly include:
- Reduced or no airflow from the dryer vent
- Unusual noises during operation
- Clothes taking longer to dry
- Overheating or frequent cycling off of the dryer
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Drum stopped turning loud 60 hz hum from motor James S. • Winchester , TN • November 03, 2018
The very easy diagnosis was motor seizure. Because the machine is about a decade old, I decided to renovate most of the guts. My DIY project included replacing the motor, blower, drum bearing, belt, and door hinge. The end result is a functional dryer with no left-over parts.
Lack of parts and hardware challenged the effort. For example, the blower assembly did not have the slide capture for the motor. I had to use the old one which is showing its age. With the exception of the drum...

Includes: 1 blower housing assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection.
- Remove the front panel/cabinet to access the blower section; note screw and clip locations.
- Transfer the blower wheel, seals, and any reusable hardware from the old housing.
- Before reassembly, spin the blower wheel by hand to ensure free, rub-free rotation.

Grinding noise coming from stack unit dryer Daniel B. • Hughesville , PA • August 22, 2023
Old, unused stack set. Washer was great, dryer was grinding. Started with the mounting bracket/bearing and the belt. The old ones were slightly beatup. Put it back together and the problem persisted. Found the real problem when I pulled apart the blower to get to the motor. The fan had broken fins that had jammed in the side of the blower housing, and the friction had melted through the outer wall of the fan. Got the blower housing from APP, got the fan from a competitors for $30 less. When it...
