Frigidaire Washer Dryer Combo FLXE52RBS8 Will not tumble or doesn't tumble

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 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 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 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 Ball is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part helps the drum to rotate smoothly and evenly. It provides a stable and low-friction contact point, allowing the drum to turn efficiently during drying cycles. This is a drum-bearing ball only. For a complete drum bearing and shaft kit order 5303281153.

Causes of a bad ball can include regular wear and tear, friction from continuous drum rotation, or physical damage. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer ball include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not rotating smoothly or becoming unbalanced
• Increased friction leading to higher energy consumption
• Visible wear or damage to the ball

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

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.
