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.

The Door Strike is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is a small, essential component that ensures the dryer door remains securely closed during operation. The door strike engages with the door catch to keep the door latched, allowing the dryer to operate efficiently and safely. Without a functioning door strike, the dryer may not start, or it could stop mid-cycle.

You should replace this door strike if it becomes damaged or worn out. Over time, the door strike can suffer from wear due to regular use, misalignment, or accidental impact, leading to issues with the dryer door latching properly.

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• Difficulty in latching the dryer door

The Dryer Timer Knob is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is responsible for allowing users to set the drying time and cycle selection by turning the timer shaft. The knob securely attaches to the timer and provides an easy way to control dryer settings.

Over time, the timer knob can become damaged due to repeated use, excessive force when turning, or wear on the internal connection points. If the knob becomes stripped, cracked, or no longer stays in place, it may need to be replaced.

Symptoms of a bad timer knob include:

• The knob spins freely without adjusting the timer
• Cracks or breaks in the knob
• Difficulty selecting or changing dryer settings
• The knob does not stay attached to the timer
