Desparate for Model Number GLER341AS2 My Frigidaire Gallery dryer quit drying a week or so back. The motor and timer works but it quit producing heat. I assumed it was the element so I ordered a new element and installed it. Afer connecting everyting and plugging it back up, I turned it on to test it. It heated up for about 20-30 seconds and then stopped heating. The motor and timer continued to run. I let it sit for a few minutes and then tried it again with the door open, holding the door switch. I saw the element begin to glow and get brighter; however, after 20-30 seconds the element went dark. A clicking sound was heard just before the element went off. I turned the dryer off and let it sit for a few minutes and tried again, getting the same result. I pulled the high limit fuse/thermostat (T-O-D60T21), since it seemed to be the next thing in line to check, and tested it. It tests as closed with my meter, but you can shake it and hear light rattling inside. Is this my problem, could this be my problem, or is there other/another possibility(ies)? Help me, please! Thanks, Desparate
Answer Hello. The dryer should cycle the heater on and off, that is normal. Try running the dryer for 15 minutes and see if the heater cycles on and off. If so, the unit is good. If it didnt cycle, you would have a fire hazzard. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, August 24, 2012
