Okay, so my dryer sounded like a dying walrus for weeks. After some frantic Googling, I stumbled upon this BlueStars kit. Spoiler: IT WORKED.
First off, the kit comes with EVERYTHING—bearing, belt, screws, even this cute little tube of lube (high-temp, very fancy). The listing has a mile-long list of compatible models, but I double-checked mine (Frigidaire FER231AS2) just to be safe.
Installation? Not gonna lie, wrestling the drum out was like playing Twister with a metal octopus. But after watching a 10-minute YouTube tutorial (bless the internet), it clicked together smoother than my dryer now spins. Pro tip: REUSE YOUR OLD SCREWS. The included ones are softer than my willpower near cookies.
The belt? Fit like a glove. No weird noises, no more 'screech-of-doom' mid-cycle. My only gripe: the rear bracket’s flimsy strap. I reused the OG one—no biggie. For $30-ish, this kit saved me from buying a new dryer. 10/10 would fix again (but hopefully not soon).
P.S. If your dryer’s older than your teenager, just buy this. New dryers are overpriced TikTok appliances anyway.
