The Spin Bearing Washer is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. Situated inside the transmission housing, this thin metal washer acts as a subsurface support for the belt pulley bearing. The spin-bearing washer facilitates smooth, balanced rotation essential for agitated and spun wash cycles.

Causes of a bad spin-bearing washer include wear and fatigue from years of successive rotations, potentially allowing excessive movement between housing components.

Symptoms of a bad spin-bearing washer involve:

• Vibration or shaking noises coming from inside the washer cabinet
• Belt slippage wasting energy by inefficiently spinning loads
• Increased friction resulting in longer cycle times for spins
• Failure of belts or other components from unsupported bearing

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

• Inspect related brackets/retainers and replace any worn components to ensure proper tension

The Spin Bearing is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines, specifically designed to facilitate the smooth and efficient rotation of the washer drum. This bearing plays a pivotal role in the operation of your washing machine, allowing the drum to spin freely with minimal friction and noise.  

Causes for replacement may include wear and tear from regular use, water damage leading to rust or corrosion, or physical damage from excessive load sizes. 

Symptoms of a bad Spin Bearing include:

• Loud noises during the spin cycle, often described as grinding or rumbling
• The drum struggling to spin or not spinning as smoothly as it should
• A noticeable decrease in washing performance due to the drum's impaired movement

This genuine Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore gas ranges.

The Washer Drive Belt is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. This belt connects the motor to the drum, enabling the drum to rotate during the wash and spin cycles. It ensures the proper transfer of power from the motor to the drum, allowing the washer to agitate and spin effectively.

Common causes of a bad drive belt include normal wear and tear, overloading the washer, or a misaligned drum that puts extra strain on the belt.

Symptoms of a bad washer drive belt include:

• The washer drum not spinning or agitating
• A burning smell during operation
• Unusual noises such as squealing or grinding
• The washer stopping mid-cycle

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

The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It helps guide and maintain tension on the dryer drum belt, ensuring the drum rotates smoothly during the drying cycle.

Over time, the idler pulley can wear out due to friction and regular use, or it may become damaged from excessive strain or misalignment. If the idler pulley fails, the dryer drum may not rotate properly, leading to inefficient drying or a complete inability to dry clothes.

Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:

• Squeaking or squealing noises during operation
• The drum not rotating or rotating unevenly
• The belt appearing loose or slipping off the drum

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

• Washer stopping mid-cycle
• Water pooling around the base of the machine

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

The Drain Hose is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. This hose is essential for directing used water out of the washing machine and into the household drain system, ensuring efficient water removal after each wash cycle.

You should replace the drain hose if it becomes damaged or clogged. Causes of a bad drain hose include wear and tear from repeated use, blockages from debris or lint, or physical damage such as cracks or splits. A compromised drain hose can lead to water leakage, improper drainage, or even flooding.

Symptoms of a bad Drain Hose include:

• Water not draining properly from the washing machine
• Leaks or puddles of water around the washing machine
• Visible cracks or splits in the hose
• Unusual sounds during the draining process

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