Gibson Shaft Or Pin

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 Shock Absorber Mounting Pin is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It is a part that secures the shock absorber in place, ensuring proper absorption of vibrations and shocks during the washing cycle.

Causes of a bad shock absorber mounting pin can include loosening over time due to constant movement and vibrations, accidental damage or loss during repair or maintenance, or general wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad or missing shock absorber mounting pin include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• Loud banging or rattling noises
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor
• Premature wear or damage to the shock absorbers and other components

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

This spiral pin secures components in place within the appliance assembly, providing a tight, durable fit that resists loosening under normal operation. Replacing a worn or missing pin helps restore proper alignment and dependable drive of the linked parts.

• Holds mating parts together with a press-fit connection
• Can help resolve issues like loose or slipping drive components, rattling, or intermittent operation in the affected mechanism
• Maintains correct alignment to reduce wear on adjoining parts

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Support the assembly to relieve tension before removing the old pin
• Use the correct size punch/driver to press the pin out and in straight
• Do not force; inspect mating parts for wear and replace if damaged

Main top support rod.

A small locating pin used to align and secure parts during assembly, helping panels and components sit correctly for reliable operation. Ideal when a worn or missing pin causes fit or alignment issues. What it does:

• Positions and holds panels, trim, or assemblies in the correct location during reassembly
• Prevents shifting or misalignment of covers and access panels
• Restores proper fit where a bent, broken or missing pin causes loose trim or gaps
• Small, simple replacement that addresses common fit/fitment symptoms

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any work
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts into place to prevent damage
• Inspect surrounding components for damage and replace if worn

A small push-fit plastic retainer used to secure interior trim, panels, or lightweight components. Keeps parts held in place without screws for a clean finish and quick replacement. What it does

• Acts as a push-in fastener to hold trim pieces, liners, or lightweight panels.
• Replaces worn, broken, or missing pins that allow interior parts to shift or rattle.
• Helps stop loose trim, sagging panels, or gaps that can collect dirt or cause noise.
• Simple, non-threaded design for a secure press-fit connection.

• Press firmly into the matching hole until fully seated; do not force beyond resistance.
• Inspect mating hole for damage or debris before installing to ensure a proper fit.
• Use basic hand tools (needle-nose pliers) only if needed to remove the old pin; avoid prying against fragile trim.
• If the original hole is stretched or cracked, replace the mating trim or panel to regain proper retention.
