The Housing Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It houses the blower wheel, which is responsible for circulating air throughout the dryer drum, ensuring drying of your laundry.

A bad blower housing can be caused by damage, wear and tear, or clogs. Signs of a faulty housing include reduced airflow, longer drying times, or unusual noises coming from the dryer during operation.

Symptoms of a bad blower housing include:

• Reduced airflow within the dryer drum
• Excessive heat inside the dryer
• Unusual noises during operation

Replace your damaged or worn-out blower housing with this genuine OEM part to restore your dryer. This Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
 

This replacement housing is the body that holds the washer's detergent drawer and channels rinse water through each compartment into the tub. Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper dispensing and helps prevent leaks at the dispenser area.

• Supports and aligns the detergent/bleach/softener drawer
• Routes incoming water to flush each compartment into the wash tub
• Interfaces with inlet hoses and outlet chute for proper flow
• Common symptoms: water leaking from the dispenser/front panel, detergent or softener left in the drawer, poor dispensing, drawer difficult to open/close

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove necessary panels/trim, pull out the drawer, and release mounting screws/clips to access the housing
• Label and disconnect hoses; note routing. Transfer any reusable siphon caps, seals, and the drawer from the original housing
• Reassemble, restore water and power, and run a test fill to check for leaks

The Control Thermistor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This component plays a critical role in regulating the temperature inside the dryer by monitoring the internal conditions and sending temperature data to the control board. The control board then uses this information to adjust the heat cycle, ensuring clothes dry evenly and safely. 

Symptoms of a failing control thermistor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or cycles running too hot or too cold
• Frequent stopping or starting of the dryer
• Error messages related to temperature or sensor issues displayed on the control panel

Causes of control thermistor failure generally involve faulty wiring, accumulation of lint and debris affecting the sensor's accuracy, or wear and tear from regular use that leads to degradation of the sensor components.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This limit switch is a safety cutoff switch used in household appliances to stop operation when a fault condition is detected, helping protect the appliance from overheating or unsafe operation. It replaces a failed or intermittent switch to restore normal safety control. What it does:

• Acts as a thermal/safety cutoff or interrupt point in the appliance control circuit
• Opens the circuit when temperature or fault conditions exceed safe limits
• Can cause symptoms such as no heat, intermittent heating, or an appliance that won't complete cycles when it fails
• Restores proper safety sensing when replaced with a matching part

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the switch.
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; ensure secure connections and correct orientation.

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

The Idler Arm Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is an essential component of the dryer's drum support system, responsible for maintaining the proper alignment and smooth rotation of the drum during operation. The idler arm assembly typically consists of an idler arm, pulley, and bearings, working together to support the weight of the drum and facilitate its rotational movement.

Symptoms of a bad idler arm assembly in a dryer include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer
• Difficulty in starting or maintaining the drum's rotation
• Potential damage to other components due to misalignment

Causes of a bad idler arm assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage from foreign objects entering the drum, or issues with the bearings or pulley components. A faulty idler arm assembly can lead to improper drum alignment, increased friction, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Drum Belt is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It plays a pivotal role in the mechanism of the dryer, connecting the motor to the drum to enable its rotation. Without a functioning belt, the dryer's drum will not turn, preventing clothes from drying properly.

Symptoms of a failing Drum Belt include:

• A dryer that turns on but does not spin
• Unusual noises, such as thumping or squealing, coming from the dryer
• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly during a cycle

Common causes for Drum Belt issues are general wear and tear from regular use, the belt becoming stretched or misaligned, and excessive load sizes that strain the belt beyond its capacity.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Motor Mounting Clamp is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This clamp secures the motor in place within the dryer, ensuring it operates smoothly and remains stable during the drying cycles. The motor mounting clamp is essential for maintaining the proper alignment and function of the dryer motor.

Over time, the motor mounting clamp can become worn out or damaged due to constant vibration and movement. Accidental impacts or mishandling during maintenance can also cause the clamp to fail, leading to motor misalignment or instability.

Symptoms of a bad motor mounting clamp include:

• Excessive noise or vibration during the drying cycle
• Motor shifting or moving within the dryer
• Reduced drying efficiency
• The dryer not starting or stopping abruptly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
