Frigidaire 137116700 Thermostat OEM Part

My Electrolux Frigidaire Gas Dryer stopped working and I got an error code E66 that the thermal limiter blew from over heating. The E66 code stops displaying after the initial code and you will then get a door open message. I replaced the thermal limiter and the thermostat just to be sure which part at the problem. The job is hard because you have to take apart the entire dryer and remove the drum. Would be a tough project to complete on your own.

Yes tested continuity on all sensors inside and found two to be faulty. I replaced three of them because frigidaire does not have an access panel and figured do them all while its apart. The parts were half the cost it was to have a repair man diagnos it and arrived within two days. I replaced the limiter the thermostat and the control thermistor.

Replaced Door switch, limiter and Thermostat. Repairman I called couldn't fix it. Youtube was great help.

I swapped out the inner and outer thermal limiter switches as well as the thermostat while I had the dryer opened up. The videos on this site made it easy for a novice to do alone. It took a few hours and some patience but the machine works perfectly now and saved me from buying a 1k+ new dryer. I believe only one of the limiter switches had failed, but the parts are reasonably priced and the effort is spent in the disassembly and reassembly of the machine. It was best to order the most common parts that fail for that model and switch them out all at once. I was also able to clean out the inside of the machine and then run a better hard-line exhaust for the dryer.

We previously paid over $200 to fix this dryer and the same parts were replaced. Since we did not know which part was bad we purchased both the Limiter and the Thermostat again. We paid less than half the price for these parts than what the repair man charged. It was a bit of a job doing the repair but between my husband and I we got the dryer up and running. $38.00!
