Frigidaire Washer Dryer Combo FLXE52RBS0 Noisy

The Front Felt Glide Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part allows smooth operation of the dryer drum, providing a felt pad that the drum glides on as it rotates. This not only helps to support the drum but also minimizes friction and noise, contributing to the efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. 

Over time, the felt portion of the glide assembly can wear down, leading to increased friction between the drum and the dryer's front panel.  

Symptoms of a bad Front Felt Glide Assembly include:

• Unusual noises during operation, such as squeaking or grinding
• The dryer drum may catch or hesitate during rotation
• Increased wear and tear on clothing due to the drum's rough movement
• The dryer may take longer to dry clothes efficiently due to the drum's impaired rotation

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

The Dryer Drum Bearing is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It supports the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This part attaches to the inside of the rear panel of the cabinet, offering support to the dryer drum. 

You should replace the drum bearing if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad drum bearing can include normal wear and tear, overloading the dryer, or lack of lubrication.

Symptoms of a bad drum bearing include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not turning smoothly or becoming misaligned
• Increased friction causing overheating or burning smells
• The dryer not tumbling clothes properly

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

The Lower Front Felt Seal is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This seal prevents hot air from escaping the dryer drum, ensuring optimal drying efficiency and preventing heat loss. It also helps reduce noise and vibration during operation.

Causes of a faulty lower front felt seal can include wear and tear over time, damage from foreign objects or excessive heat, or adhesive failure. These factors can result in air leakage, increased drying time, or excessive lint buildup.

Symptoms of a front felt seal may include:

• Air leakage around the dryer door or front panel
• Excessive lint accumulation near the dryer opening
• Unusual noises or vibrations during the operation

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

Note: For the Hi-Temp Adhesive, order part number 5308027429. Additional parts to check are the rear drum bearing kit 5303281153 and the front felt glide assembly 5303937139.

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 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 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 Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Frigidaire clothes dryers. This component works to propel hot air through clothes during drying cycles.

Causes of a bad blower wheel involve wear from years of operation, such as bearing deterioration or plastic fan blade cracking/warping. Foreign object damage or improper cleaning techniques pose other risk factors.

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Slow or weak drying even on high heat settings
• Loud clanking or grinding noises from inside the duct
• The dryer not activating or functioning when turned on
• Reduced air discharge observable at the vent

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

For a complete drum bearing and shaft kit order 5303281153.

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.

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 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.
