5304517318 Frigidaire Washer/Dryer Transmission

Washer/Dryer Transmission<br /><br />Frigidaire brands, including Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore, feature combination washer/dryer laundry centers that use this transmission. As an OEM part, the transmission is crucial for the center agitator or drum to spin during wash and spin cycles.<br /><br />Positioned at the base of the drum housing, the transmission connects to the motor pulley to enable the container contents to oscillate or rotate as needed. Smooth operation is essential for balanced spinning, which helps remove excess water without harming fabrics.<br /><br />Transmission problems can arise from worn gears due to age, lubrication failure, or damage to the shifting/linking mechanism caused by excessive loads.<br /><br />Signs of a failing transmission include:<br /><br />- Excessive vibration or noisy shaking during spin cycles<br />- Limited or no agitation or drum rotation<br />- Belts frequently slipping off motor pulleys<br /><br />Replacing the transmission with a Frigidaire OEM part ensures reliable wash and spin cycles, maintaining the laundry center's performance for effective cleaning. This part is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore combo units.
