Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 137513300
The Drum Glide is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is designed to support the front of the dryer drum as it rotates, allowing the drum to turn smoothly with minimal friction and noise. This is a single glide. Your dryer uses two so it is recommended to replace both at the same time.
Causes of a bad drum glide can include wear and tear from regular use, excessive loads that put undue strain on the drum and its components, or accumulation of lint and debris that can interfere with the glide's movement.
Symptoms of a bad Drum Glide can include:
- Unusual noises, such as screeching or squealing, during operation
- Increased difficulty in turning the drum, leading to longer drying times or incomplete cycles
- Visible wear or damage to the glide itself, indicating it is time for a replacement
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Drum stopped turning loud 60 hz hum from motor James S. • Winchester , TN • November 03, 2018
The very easy diagnosis was motor seizure. Because the machine is about a decade old, I decided to renovate most of the guts. My DIY project included replacing the motor, blower, drum bearing, belt, and door hinge. The end result is a functional dryer with no left-over parts.
Lack of parts and hardware challenged the effort. For example, the blower assembly did not have the slide capture for the motor. I had to use the old one which is showing its age. With the exception of the drum...

Gas dryer did not heat and excessive lint inside the unit James C. • New Boston , MI • July 20, 2017
Our 19 year old Whirlpool dryer quit heating. After checking the thermal fuse, I found the ignitor electrically open.

I can say AppliancePartsPros is MUCH cheaper for the identical Whirlpool genuine part. While changing the ignitor, I noticed there was an excessive amount of lint in the dryer, which was caused by worn drum seals. I ordered...

The original problem was that the drum would quit turning during drying operations. Randall B. • Moab , UT • April 08, 2018
Upon examination of the dryer, I noticed that the belt was intact, though a little worn and hard. However, I noticed that the belt had came of the idler pulley.

Melted door switch. Christopher K. • Greeneville , TN • February 03, 2024
The full story:
Dishwasher stopped running mid-cycle. When I first began troubleshooting I tried manually advancing the timer knob, and the machine would run. That led me to believe that the actual timer assembly was bad, so I replaced it. The dishwasher ran fine for a day, and then the same problem came back. This time, however, I also had to push in on the door to get it to run. I looked around online, and someone suggested that the door latch wasn't closing tightly enough. I adjusted the...

Looked at the diagnostic help on Appliance Parts Pros.com and the start switch was the problem, but only 25% of the time, so I was a little concerned it may be a different problem. The switch was reasonably priced, so I ordered it and it arrived in two days!
It was very easy to follow the repair video, however, my GE Gas dryer had a lot of screws rather than 2 screws and tabs on the model in the video, so it took a little more time to open up. After turning off the gas and unplugging the...
