Amy N Pike Road , AL March 27, 2018 Constant beeping no heat My 12 year old Frigidaire stack on top dryer had been beeping distress messages in some unintelligible code for about a year when it completely stopped producing heat. It also had a long standing issue with delicate fabrics and thin straps or drawstrings getting caught in the drum. After using this site to troubleshoot and viewing the useful how-to videos, I ordered and replaced the heating element, thermal limiter, and felt seals. Based on others' stories, I decided to also replace the rear drum bearing and belt while I had it disassembled, and due to the advanced age of my machine. I knew that the beeping was probably indicative of a bad control panel, but chose to replace the cheaper parts first in hopes of avoiding that expense. Despite my complete lack of repair experience, I was able to easily take apart the machine and replace all the parts using common household tools. It was obvious that the old parts I replaced were worn or damaged and in need of repair. Unfortunately, the dryer still did not produce heat when reassembled. But good news: I had found a sheet taped to the inside of my machine that described the diagnostic test procedure and error codes. Once I followed these instructions, I was able to identify the last problem as "error code 62", the control panel. I ordered the last part and was able to install it in about 20 minutes using the video on this site. Now my dryer works like new, without eating my clothes and without all the beeping! Total cost of this overhaul was about 1/3 the price of a new dryer. Happy customer!

Kasey B Portsmouth , OH March 23, 2014 Dryer would run, but no heat! Watched a YouTube video on taking apart front loader dryers and did exactly as they did. Once the heating element was inspected, it had burnt in two. I ordered a new one from you, waited a day and had it back together in 15 mins.

Kelli M New Castle , CO April 02, 2014 Our Dryer Heating Element had a coil break. My husband found a video on YouTube for our Fridgedaire Dryer and followed the step by step process to dismantle the components to the dryer so that he could get the drum out. Once that was complete it was an easy fix to disassemble the existing heating element and replace it with the new one that we had ordered from AppliancePartsPros.com. The dryer works perfectly now. Instead of purchasing a new dryer, which we thought we had to do, we saved a ton of money and was able to fix our dryer. Thank you AppliancePartsPros.com. Not only did we save money but we received cashback by ordering through EpicCashBack.com in which you are a participating merchant. Thank you, Thank you!!

Paul F Lancaster , OH April 01, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Dryer LEQ332DS0 The dryer would not heat up to dry clothes I ordered the dryer heating element assembly from Appliance Parts Pro and watch Steve from Appliance Parts Pro on U Tub take apart the clothes dry and put it back together. It was pretty easy watching him do it. I took my time taking it apart and putting it together and the dryer works like a charm.

Rebecca R St Marys , PA March 13, 2016 Dryer would no longer dry clothes We reviewed the videos & ordered the parts figuring that it was the heating element but, since thermal fuse was only another $10 decided to replace as well since these were the 2 main causes for our issue. The whole process took about 4 hrs for us to complete. The videos were awesome as to directions on taking the dryer apart & putting back together. However it does not show how gross the inside can actually be. We had about 5 yrs of lint inside the main compartment & front door panel. So if you are going to do this make sure you have a vacuum or shop vac b\c you will be doing a lot of cleaning. Also some of the nuts were tight so if you have a power drill it would make things easier.
