Frigidaire 131724301 Dryer Drum Bearing Bracket

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 131724301 is a genuine OEM dryer drum bearing bracket designed to hold and support the drum bearing inside residential dryers. The bracket keeps the rear drum bearing seated and stable during operation, preventing drum movement that leads to noise, wear, and mechanical failure. This is a direct-fit replacement part supplied by the original equipment manufacturer, meaning it meets the same tolerances and material specs as the factory-installed component. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part during drum support rebuilds or when diagnosing squealing, thumping, or abnormal drum movement.

The 131724301 fits a wide range of residential dryer brands including Electrolux, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Kenmore, O'Keefe and Merritt, Sears, Tappan, and Westinghouse. It is used in both electric and gas dryer applications where the drum bearing bracket has cracked, broken, or worn beyond serviceable limits. This bracket is a common wear item in older dryer platforms and is typically replaced alongside the drum bearing itself during rear-drum support service.

Installation Notes

Unplug the dryer from its power source before beginning any disassembly - this applies to both electric and gas models, as gas dryers also use 120-volt electrical connections. Wear work gloves throughout the repair to protect against sharp sheet metal edges inside the cabinet. Access to the drum bearing bracket typically requires removing the dryer top, front panel, or rear panel depending on the model, so consult the service manual for the specific disassembly sequence. Confirm the drum bearing is also inspected and replaced as needed before reassembly.
