Parts for Electrolux EFME527UIW1: Controls / Top Panel Parts

The Board Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It refers to the control/display circuit board located at the front of the dryer. This board handles input from the control panel buttons and displays, as well as communicating with all the dryer's electronic components including the timer, temperature sensors, heating elements, and motor.

Causes of a bad board can include moisture exposure from improper venting, power surges, normal wear over time, and impacts from accidental mishandling. 

Symptoms of a bad board assembly include:

• The dryer not turning on or powering up  
• Fault codes appearing on the display
• Inability to select cycles or temperatures
• Timer/sensor malfunctions preventing proper drying
• Intermittent operation issues

Replacing the board assembly with a Frigidaire OEM part restores full electronic functionality. This ensures reliable, safe drying. It is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore dryers.
 

The Knob Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It allows you to select and adjust the dryer's settings and cycles.

Symptoms of a bad knob assembly can include:

• The knob becoming loose 
• Cracks or breaks in the knob
• Difficulty in turning the knob

Replace your worn-out or damaged knob assembly with this genuine OEM part to restore control over your dryer's settings. This Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
