The Control Board is an OEM component specifically designed for Frigidaire electric dryers. It regulates the operation of all heating, motor, and sensor functions based on cycle selections.

Causes of a bad control board can include moisture damage over time inhibiting reliable electrical connections or surging overload circuitry beyond repair.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

  • Dryer fails to start or operates intermittently between cycles  
  • Inability to advance through cycle steps or timed durations
  • Erratic temperature readings preventing adequate drying  
  • Control buttons/display lights cease responding

This OEM Frigidaire replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore dryer models. Replace promptly before requiring additional repairs down the road.

Hello Leslie, the service replacement part for your model is part 137070840NH, it would be the same as the original part in fit and function, the manufacturer has not given a reason why there was a substitution.

Leslie for Model Number FAQG7011KW0

The lights on the Frigidaire gas dryer's control panel will come up by itself showing the previous setting. After I pressed the Cancel button, the lights will be off, but will come back on after a few minutes. If I press Start, it will start tumbling, but after about 20 minutes, the tumbling will stop and then the lights on the control panel start flashing. Does this mean the control board is bad? We have been replacing the control board every three or four years with the same symptoms. Could it be something else that is wrong although each time the symptoms were gone after we replaced the control board? Model # FAQG7011KW0

Leslie, based on the information provided, it does sound like the user control 137070840NH has failed. With the user control behaving as if a button is being pressed, the buttons can be inspected to identify if they may be wedged and preventing the control from operating normally. If the buttons are not sticking or wedged, the user control would be the most likely cause of failure.

Hello Dominic, the E9E is a low voltage condition detected by the control board, using a multimeter test for voltage at the main control board at terminals J2-1 red/black and J2-2 white,if as you say the voltage is 118v and the control board shows the low voltage fault code then that would indicate a faulty main control board ,you would need part 137070840NH control board. If however if the voltage only drops on start and then the control board gives the code then check the wire harness connection at the control board and back to the rear terminal block and the line cord and outlet, if all check ok you may have a faulty circuit breaker.

Tony, you will want to test the control for voltage input and output. By doing this, it can be verified if the control is not only receiving voltage, but also sending voltage accordingly.

Rob, You can check the heater relay on your control. It's RL2 and the black wire to ground should have 120 to ground for the heater. The motor relay also is on the control which could be stuck closed. test from j4-2 to j4-1 for a closed circuit with no power to the unit. If youu find either of these tests to fail you will need to replace the control 137070890NH

Joel, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board since the unit is working all the time on other cycles.

Roni for Model Number faqg7011kr0

My 2.5 years old Frigidaire FAQG7011KR0 dryer stoped giving heat. Diagnostic returns error code "E4A" - Program Timeout Fault". Dryer Test Sheet for this code advises to "Check for anything that would extend dry times such as: no heat, restricted vent, blower fan blade broken or loose, dryer installed in closet with solid door, or bad connection in mosture sensor bar circuit or dirty bars". None of these seem to be applicable. Advised resolution: "Replace electric control". Should I replace Control Board AP4452818 (137070840) or something else? Thanks Roni

1 Answer

Roni, The error code is indicating that the max time had exceeded for the cycle. If the unit is not heating then this will cause the fault. You will want to check the heater, the thermal fuses and thermostat for continuity. If any do not have continuity then replace that part. Once the heating issue is corrected, if the error code then comes back then you would want to replace the control board.
