Frigidaire Dryer Drum Belt Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Frigidaire dryer motor runs but the drum doesn't turn, you're likely dealing with a broken or worn drum belt — the most common failure point in these machines. This hub covers the 134503600 replacement belt that fits AEQ, FER, and FDE series models, along with Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Crosley, and Tappan dryers that share the same belt specification.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your dryer's model number plate, usually located inside the door opening or on the back panel. Cross-reference it with the compatible models list below. The 134503600 belt (also known by part numbers AP3865318, 5303283471, 134163400, 1156784, and PS1148434) fits over 100 Frigidaire-manufactured dryer models. If your model number starts with AEQ, FER, FDE, or FEQ, there's a high probability this belt will fit.

About This Replacement Belt

The drum belt on Frigidaire dryers wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley to rotate the drum during the dry cycle. The belt typically breaks due to wear and tear over time — it's not a defect, just normal degradation from heat cycles and friction. You'll know it's failed when the motor runs (you hear it humming) but the drum stays completely still. This is a moderate difficulty repair that requires accessing the dryer cabinet and threading the new belt around the drum and pulleys in the correct configuration.

Installation Tip

Since you're already disassembling the dryer to replace the belt, consider replacing the drum bearing (the support wheel or roller) at the same time. These wear out on a similar timeline, and replacing both now prevents another teardown in six months when the bearing starts squealing.

Compatible Frigidaire Models

This belt fits the following model series. Use your exact model number to confirm compatibility before ordering:

• AEQ Series: AEQ6000CES0, AEQ6000CES1, AEQ6000ES1, AEQ6000ES2, AEQ7000CES0, AEQ7000ES1, AEQ8000CFS0
• FDE Series: FDE336RES0, FDE436RES1
• FER Series: FER211AS1, FER231AS2, FER311FS0, FER641CFS0
• FEQ Series: FEQ332ES0

The full compatibility list includes over 100 models across Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Crosley, and Tappan brands. All use the same belt design and replacement procedure.

What You'll Need

This repair requires basic hand tools: a nut driver or socket set to remove the dryer's front or top panel (depending on your model), and possibly a putty knife to release panel clips. No special tools are needed, but having a second pair of hands to help thread the belt around the drum makes the job easier. Plan for about 45-60 minutes if it's your first time doing this repair.

Order Your Replacement Belt

The 134503600 drum belt is in stock at $15.99 with fast shipping. It's a direct OEM-spec replacement that fits like the original. Given that belt failure leaves your dryer completely non-functional, it's worth keeping a spare on hand if your dryer is over five years old.
