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 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.

The Idler Arm Pulley is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part keeps the belt aligned and tight, preventing slippage and contributing to consistent drum rotation. 

Causes of a bad Idler Arm Pulley can range from normal wear and tear, which can degrade the pulley's material or bearings, to improper alignment that puts undue stress on the pulley, leading to premature failure.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Idler Arm Pulley include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or rumbling, indicating the pulley may be worn or loose
• The dryer drum failing to rotate, even though the motor is running
• Excessive wear or damage to the dryer belt

• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing/chirping, and premature belt wear
• A failed spring can cause no or intermittent rotation and the belt coming off
• Typical signs include a loose belt, off-track belt, or rhythmic squeak from the base

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working on a gas appliance, shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly; note belt routing before removal
• Relieve belt tension, then move the idler arm to remove and replace the spring on the same mounting holes
• After reassembly, rotate by hand to verify smooth belt tracking before test
