How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP4368739 / 137032600 Inlet Thermal Fuse

After following troubleshooting steps on the website verified the heating element assembly needed replacing. Since I had to breakdown the entire unit to get to it took the time to clean lint, dust and other buildup from inside and replaced other fuses also. Ordered and replaced the heating element assembly, control thermistor, thermostat, and inlet thermal fuse. Very easy repair following the provided videos on the site. 

Changed heating element based on instruction - took me less than an hour and saved least $500 :) I'm not going to call repair men anymore... :) 

Had to take dryer apart and replace heating element. Wasn't too bad with videos to help but make sure you check all wire connections before putting back together or you will regret it. Trust me on this. Lol 

Used YouTube video to help diagnose the problem that led me to a faulty heater coils. Ordered a new heater coil plus I added on the two heat sensors as well since I was only 90% sure the heater was the only issue and I only wanted to take the dryer apart one time. I am handy but do not have much experience in appliance repair. Watching the video, it looks complicated at first since you will pretty much disassemble the entire dryer, but is is not as hard as it looks. 

Replaced heating element and limits. 

After trying in vain to get a repair person over and take care of this. Sorry cant wait 10 days just to diagnose. I decided (yet again) to do it myself. I replaced the heater core which was really bad on inspection, along with the thermostat and limiter for good measure. Very straightforward repair, and as long as you follow the instructions you wont have any trouble. Didn't even take much in the way of tools. Saved enough money on this repair to buy myself a nice drill press. Dont forget to unplug the dyer. 

Opened up back of dryer and loosened up other parts wasn't sure exactly how to get to heater screws in front but became obvious 

Ordered a new heater element, hight-limit thermostat, and inlet thermal fuse. Same parts had been replaced just under 4yrs ago. Unit sits on a drawer pedestal so it was easier to access the heater element by unplugging the power cord, removing the exhaust vent tube then removing the dryer top panel and rear bracket, rear panel, water line, brackets attaching dryer to the pedestal. About 30+ screws! Also need to remove the power cord clamp so the back panel can slide down the cord and away from the back of the dryer. Remove the 2 screws holding the heater element assy to the bottom panel. Unhook the black wire on left side of assy. Then can carefully slide the whole assy out where the wires on right side can be removed. Also will need to remove the holding bracket, and the old thermostat, and fuse. Save the screws to reuse. 

I used a voltage tester set to ohms as I watched all the videos provided by your site (Extremely helpful). I had to change the cycling thermostat and the igniter. The igniter was the most difficult part to change. Just be patient and don’t worry about the extra screws you have at the end just hold on to them for later use. 

I ordered the parts from this website and was pleased everything worked and fit the way it was supposed to. Excellent company.
