Jeremy March 20, 2019 for Model Number Frigidarie GLGR341AS1 Last week my gas dryer stopped drying properly. Using a meat temp probe i was able to watch the dryer heat cycle 2-3 times then the temp fails to go back up. Sometimes i only get 1 heat cycle, other times 5-8. The resistance in the 2 pin coil is 1400 and the 3 pin 1400/597. I replaced them 4 years ago. Where should I go from here? Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Jeremy, For this issue check to see how long the burner is on for and if they are going off within about 30 seconds then this would be a faulty gas coil or gas valve that is causing the issue. Read More...
Blake December 05, 2018 for Model Number ewmgd70jss3 So I am thinking I should try this part next but thought I'd ask your opinion first - by the way it is your part number AP2142636 the heat sensor. Sorry in advance for being long winded but there is a lot of info I think is worth sharing. There are two of these dryers in this home, they are stacked in a laundry room, exact same models and exact same age 3-4 yrs., and they are exhibiting the same symptoms of very long, 2-3 hrs, dry times. Another thing about these units is they both have rather long duct runs, we believe at least 40 feet, the number of nineties in the run is unknown, most of run is vertical, no inline booster fans - until just recently and are installed at end of line. I have cleaned the units thoroughly, changed both thermistors in each unit also have change gas valve coils and still have problem. I have also, after changing parts run machines with a load with ducting disconnected without change. I have run unit with small load for 8-10 mins, opened door, held door switch closed, restarted machine and read temp at hot air entrance on back of drum and read between 200-230 degrees. Wonder if there is any chance that over time the long duct run has taken its toll on motor and maybe fan is not moving enough air?
1 Answer Blake, With the temperature coming out at 200 to 230 degrees then this will be normal. The unit not heating could be a heat sensor that is faulty. Read More...
Jess October 24, 2018 for Model Number FFLG1011MW2 My gas dryer has intermittently been not heating up over the last few months, but if the clothes were still cool and damp after a cycle, I just tried it again and it usually fixed it. However, it will not heat up anymore. I removed the front panel to try to determine what was going on, and this is what I’ve found: the drum will turn when I try any cycle and any heat level (timer cycles are also wack, no matter what timing cycle I put it on, it turns off in 15-30 min), and heat elements will not attempt to turn on at all. However, when I hit the side of the heat sensor (AP2142636), it seems to kick everything on for one ignition cycle! The coils will heat up, the gas ignite, will warm up the dryer, will eventually shut off per normal, but unless I hit the heat sensor again (I hit it with the side of a flashlight), it will not heat up again. So, I surmised that the heat sensor was perhaps going bad, bought this part from this site, installed it last night, but it still is doing the exact same thing. What should I check next...? Thanks for all the help!
1 Answer Jess, For this issue the most likely cause will be that the gas coils may be faulty or that the timer is faulty. Read More...
Wendy July 22, 2018 for Model Number GLGR642AS5 My dryer is not drying the clothes the replaced the dryer gas valve coil kit and unfortunately it is still not working. I have checked the the exhaust line and it is clear and I have cool air blowing outside. What should I check or replace next?
1 Answer Wendy, You will want to check to see if the igniter is glowing and see if there is 120 vac going to it if the igniter is not glowing. If this checks ok then test the flame sensor for continuity. If these check ok then the gas valve would be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
Jesse Robles May 25, 2017 for Model Number AFSG7073NA2 My gas dryer trips out on high heat it completely shuts off, after five minutes I go and it comes back on I can do this 2 to 4 times.. I replaced the thermistor, high limit thermostat, inlet thermal limiter and even electronic control board the exhaust is completely clean .... Help please don't know where to go thank you..
1 Answer Jesse, You'll need to check the voltage and the motor as well as the blower wheel. The voltage shouldn't fall below 105 VAC when the dryer is started and needs to remain above 108 VAC when running. Remove the front panel and make sure there's nothing inside the blower housing or wrapped around the wheel or shaft. Read More...
John V November 16, 2015 for Model Number GSG746RFS1 This is John again. I made a mistake about the pressure. The gas man came out and checked the regulator. It was set at 10 WCI. We just put a new thermal sensor in (AP2142636). Right now, when I turned the dryer on I didn't hear the click which I used to hear before the gas came on. The drum is still turning but no heat. What is the next step to check?
1 Answer John, You will want to check to see if the igniter is getting 120 vac to it. If it is not then the issue would most likely be that either the centrifugal switch on the motor is bad and making contact for the Neutral to the igniter or the timer is faulty. Read More...
John V November 12, 2015 for Model Number GSG746RFS1 My Gibson dryer drum turns but no heat came out. I put in the new thermal sensor part #AP 2142636. With the new sensor when I turned it on I could hear the gas flowing and it warmed up for a few minutes.Then the heat shut off but the drum continued turning. I checked the venting, it's clear. The only new thing is the gas man turned the psi from 10 to 15. Does that cause the problem or is it something else? John
1 Answer John, It sounds like the issue will be that the gas pressure was increased. This unit is designed to run on 10 W.C.I. for LP and 4 W.C.I. for natural gas. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Julio. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello Tina. The model number you provided is not showing a heated drawer. We will need your model number to help you with this.

Art September 08, 2014 for Model Number frigidaire gallery series commercial heavy duty model number 1342 Dryer heat does not turn on.
1 Answer Hello Art. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity.
