Frigidaire Dryer Repair – East Canton, OH (FEZ831AS2)

A Frigidaire dryer on Bundy Avenue in East Canton was leaking grease into the drum. When we opened it up, we found the transmission had failed and was leaking oil into the spin basket.

The Problem

The customer reported that grease is leaking into the drum. This created a messy situation where clean clothes were getting contaminated during the drying cycle.

Diagnosis

The transmission had failed and was leaking oil into the spin basket. A failed transmission seal allows the internal lubricating oil to escape into areas where it doesn’t belong, contaminating the drum where clothes are dried.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134736400-H+ TRANSMISSION, 5303279394-SEAL
• Work performed: I replaced the transmission and the tub seal
• Result: Issue is resolved and the washer is good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

Frigidaire dryers are solid mid-range appliances that typically justify transmission repairs when they’re under 10-12 years old. The FEZ831AS2 is a dependable model, and replacing a failed transmission restores it to full functionality for years of continued service.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating that can stress the transmission
• Check the rear exhaust vent annually for blockages that force the motor to work harder
• Avoid overloading the drum, which puts extra strain on the transmission and drive components
