Frigidaire 134484212 Control Board OEM Part

Downloaded the Frigidaire Service Manual for Electric 5.8 cubic foot dryer from the ApplicanePartsPro.com forum. Used its information to check for error codes. None display. Ran the function test sequence. All the tests OK. Used a mutli-meter to check the circuit to the moisture sensor bars inside the door. Thought maybe the circuit could be open due to a loose plug or broken wire. This could signal the control board that the clothes are dry. This all checked OK. Since the top four status lights were also occasionally flashing three times in a row when the dryer was running, decided it was probably a defective control board. Ordered P/N 134484212 from AppliancePartsPro. Great service, with just standard shipping, part still arrived in two days and also well packed. Fairly easy replacement to perform, but would get a copy of the Service Manual if possible. Great pictures in it on how to remove the top and get access to the control panel. The replacement electronic control board comes with the plastic housing so you don't have to mess with the actual circuit board. The wire bundle was secured by a Ty-Rap which I cut and then replaced on reassembly. Two of the electrical plugs are automotive blade type. Very stiff to unfasten. I just used pliers on the plugs and worked them back and forth to loosen. I'm slow so the replacement took about an hour. A repairman could probably do the whole job, including the paperwork, in 15 minutes. Replacing the electronic control fixed the problem

My dryer quit. The store where I purchased the dryer was out of business. This is too bad, they had a wonderful store and service department. I called another store (the well-know, high end, place), they would not service the dryer because they are now only servicing appliances that they sold. So, off to the internet. Then I thought, OK, maybe it is time to purchase a new dryer. Checked around. Even with Labor Day Weekend sales, it was really pricey. I decided I could figure out what was broken and there must by a DIY video for the repair. After a few searches, I found the "APP" channel on YouTube. I was confident, after watching the video on dryer control board replacement, this was something I could do. I then searched for the best price on the control board - it turned out to be "APP". Ordered the part, it arrived very quickly, and today I undertook replacing the control board. Playing the video as I started on the repair - there was never any doubt what to do and what to do next. Matt's instructions were clear, easy to follow, and he pointed out the little "tricks" you need to get it done correctly - things like what tools to use to remove a connection, or what tab to press, or how far to push the top panel back to get into the dryer. I have used DIY repair videos before. AppliancePartPros.com is among the best I have used. The entire replacement took less than 30 minutes. I have nothing to say but great things. Clear instruction, best price, saved a whopping bunch of money! Thanks.

I replaced the control board and it worked as it should. I had to take off the top lid by removing two screws behind the machine. Then I had to remove four screws that held the control panel in place. I disconnected the plugs to the control board to free the control panel from the dryer. I removed four screws that held the control board to the control panel. I removed the control board from the control panel by prying both sides of the control board. I inserted the new control board into the control panel, put the four screws back to secure the control board to the control panel. I inserted all the removed plugs back in, screwed the control panel back in place with the four screws, replaced the lid and switched on the machine and it worked immediately. The whole repair took 20 minutes.

After reading similar issues I ordered the control board. I also ordered the thermal limiter, thermostat, and control thermistor just in case. After replacing the control board, no more issues. Also, the video on replacing the control board was very helpful and I used it prior to replacing the board. It was extremely helpful.

The new control board fixed the problem. There were no instructions that came with the new part, but we took pictures of the old part before removing it and replace the new part and all worked out.
