Frigidaire 5303281135 Dryer Flame Sensor OEM Part

Being a complete DIY I hate to call some unknown person into my home knowing that just to get them there will cost me more than I will spend for parts that I don't need.After all, they are trying to make a living and by selling me parts that I don't need will increase their profits. I've dealt with APP before and was impressed by their site because I could find both mechanical and electrical drawings for almost everything I have. I looked up my dryer, decided what was probably the problem, added all the parts that I felt were probably OK and gave them a call. The customer rep, bless her heart was absolutely fantastic! She was really on the ball and made ordering all the parts I needed a breeze. A week later, when my parts arrived,( I went with the standard shipping), I installed everything, cleaned the dryer of all the lint I could vacuum out, crossed my fingers and pushed the start button. Son-of-a gun, the dryer works like new! I fixed the darned thing for less than $100 and now am a hero with my wife. Life doesn't get better than that.

My gas dryer is an older White-Westinghouse stack appliance, a DG250K. In the past I had done nothing more than change the belt on one occasion. The start button failed to start the motor on some occasions but then would mysteriously work again. Finally it failed to ever start. I changed the motor and the belt. The dryer started again with the new motor, but it would not heat. I researched the dryer parts and purchased the coil set, the igniter, and the flame sensor. After installing the coils and checking my connections, the burner started. I decided to install the new flame sensor also, and I wanted to install a new igniter. When I carefully unwrapped the bubble wrap on that delicate igniter, I found it lost a piece in the bubble wrap. I tapped the remainder on my glass table to see if it would break further, but it did not. I suspect it may have been cracked before I received it, so I was relieved to see my original igniter was working. My old W-W will probably run another 25 years. Changing the burner parts was very easy, and the videos were very helpful. Changing the motor took more time and was more difficult since the straps that hold the motor are very tight and are hard to remove and to replace on the new motor. I am glad that I did not resort to a repair technician. This site is the best that I have ever seen!

Popped the top, removed two screws and lifted off the front panel. Quickly located the three worn parts. Two screws and they were replaced. Closed it up, fired it and it worked like new. Total time 20 to 30 minutes.

Replaced the gas valve coils.

Replaced the sensor and coils and...it works!!!
