Manufacturer Part Number: 5304517325

The Ignitor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part ignites the gas burner that generates the heat necessary for drying clothes.  Note: Part has been redesigned and is now a flat style ignitor instead of round ignitor.

Causes of a bad Ignitor can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and physical damage from debris or residue buildup.

Symptoms of a bad Ignitor include:

  • The dryer not heating up, leading to clothes remaining wet after a cycle
  • The ignitor not glowing or sparking when the dryer is turned on
  • Extended drying times due to insufficient heat production
  • The smell of gas without ignition, indicating a failure to light the burner

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Ignitor (Part Number: OEM20351721)

1 Answer

Smitty, it would be recommended that the unit is checked for any stored error codes. This can be done by rotating the cycle selector knob to the 3 o'clock position, press and hold the select and pause buttons at the same time for 6 seconds, then press and hold the start and pause buttons at the same time for 4 seconds. Once done, rotate the cycle selector knob to the 2 o'clock position to get an error flash pattern. The first set of flashes will indicate the first digit of the error code and the second set will indicate the second digit of the error code. This will help to identify a more specific cause of failure.

Uncle Ernie, Using the wiring diagram that came packaged with your machine I would now check for power out from the control board to the ignitor.

Carl for Model Number EIGD50LIWO

Hello Team, I have a dryer that dries intermittently. When I took apart, I could see the igniter was never glowing... I replaced the solenoids with parts from your company.... First test after replacement, no glow on igniter. Every test thereafter, igniter is working.... My question is , could the igniter be "partially" faulty? Or is a bad igniter an all or nothing deal? All diagnostics on dryer come back clean after putting back together (had some "spare" screws)... :) Tks much.

Hello Carl, you would need to test for 120vac at the burner assembly to locate the problem when it is not heating or the igniter not glowing, however, most likely based on the symptoms the radiant sensor 5303281135 on the side of the burner tube may be failing, if it does not close correctly there will be no power to the igniter..

Shelley, You will want to check your fill hose screens on the water valve to ensure that they are not clogged. Also check the pressure hose for being clogged and check the drain for clogs.

Hello Juan, You will want to check your venting on the unit to make sure that it is clear from blower all the way to the outside of home.

Bob for Model Number Frigidaire Affinity AGQ7000ES1

I have a gas dryer (120VAC) that runs fine but absolutely no heat whatsoever. I hear no clicks for the relay coil (gas valve) so I don't think the sensors or ignitors come into play. I have read that it could be the ignitor, the thermostat, or the thermistor. I a a dummy electronically and was hoping that the field could be limited and/or a SIMPLE VOM pocess of elimination be provided. The access is the front panel so I cannot run the machine and look to see what is happening . . .

Hello Bob, You would want to do a continuity check on the thermostat and thermal fuse to check to make sure that they are good. If there is not continuity then they are bad. You would check continuity by taking off the leads on the part and checking across the terminals to see if you get a reading. If you do not get a reading then it is open. You would have to do an amp draw on the ignitor and should read 3.2 to 3.6 amps and if not then the ignitor is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
