The Lint Trap is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It helps in capturing lint and debris generated during the drying process, preventing them from clogging the dryer vent and exhaust system.

Causes of a clogged or faulty lint trap can include excessive lint accumulation, damage to the trap screen, or improper installation.

Symptoms of a bad lint trap may include:

• Longer drying times
• Reduced drying efficiency
• Visible lint accumulation in the dryer drum or on clothes
• Excessive heat inside the dryer

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

The Drum Bearing Bracket is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It holds and supports the drum bearing, which allows the dryer drum to spin smoothly during the tumbling and drying cycle.

Causes of failure can be cracking or breaking of the bracket over time due to constant use and stress. Improper installation that puts strain on the bracket may also lead to issues.

Symptoms of a bad drum bearing bracket include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• Loud grinding or scraping noises
• The dryer drum not spinning properly or at all
• Premature wear of the drum bearing

This Frigidaire OEM replacement 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 Ignitor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It serves as the ignition source safely firing up burners to initiate drying cycles. 

Causes usually relate to the continual thermal shock experienced from heating and then rapidly cooling over extended use. As a foundational safeguard, ignitors require OEM replacement when arcing declines. 

Symptoms of a faulty ignitor can include:

• The dryer fails to start or stop heating intermittently   
• Cycles taking overly long to complete or feel uneven
• Excessive service calls relating to "no heat" troubles  
• Risk of uncombusted gas pooling in dryer if ignition falters

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

This genuine OEM replacement part is a gas valve assembly for dryers. The burner and gas valve assembly is a complete assembly that contains the burner that distributes the gas in a way that creates an even flame allowing for heat to be distributed properly to perform the dryer's essential functions. If the dryer is no longer drying clothes effectively, or heating properly, then it might be time for it to be replaced. Luckily repairing a gas valve assembly is an easy fix.To replace the burner and gas valve assembly, begin by shutting off power to the appliance. Next, pull the dryer away from the wall to gain access to the back panel. Remove the back panel and locate the gas valve assembly. Remove the mounting screws that hold it in place. After removing the screws use both hands to pull and release the old valve assembly. Set it off to the side and proceed to install the new one by refastening the screws that hold it in place.This replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand washers.
