Mary January 04, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore washer/dryer model 9272 We replaced the thermo (4-4D) two times. Each time it ran for 2 or three loads, then before the last load was finished it stopped and wouldn't start again. What would make the new part short our or stop working that quickly. There is no blockage and all the vents and duct were are cleaned out. Thanks
1 Answer Mary, You will want to make sure that the blower wheel was also cleaned out. The other thing that could cause this would be a cycling thermostat that is not operating or a shorted wire. Read More...
Phil November 22, 2014 for Model Number FEQ332ES0 Dryer hot to the touch in back . Venting all cleared and coil not touching any metal? Could the thermal limit not be working when hot?
1 Answer Hello Phil. This is normal because the heater is mounted to the back wall. It should get very hot on the back of the cabinet. Read More...
Debra C. November 15, 2014 for Model Number FARG4044MW My Frigidaire Dryer will not start. Lint trap is clean and no blockage of any kind found elsewhere. Lights will come on, go off, flash, and will stay when selected choices are made for drying; however, Dryer (Control Knob) will no longer "allow one push" (one beep) and start. 3 beeps and Pause or go off is all I am getting when trying to get dryer to start. Have also checked door - appears to be no problem opening and closing and staying closed. Circuit board problem?...knob probem?....thermal limiter problem? Other problem? Cannot wait to get part and get this fixed. Husband is an electronic technician...works on airplanes - autopilots...but he will appreciate some help with this dryer problem, so he can fix it. Prefer to order part or parts and fix this ourselves if at all possible. Thank You for this website and your help.
1 Answer Hello Debra, The three beeps normally occur when the start button is pressed with the door opened. I would first check the door switch and the thermal limiter. There was a service bulletin on the thermal limiter causing an issue and the new part number 137539200 was provided as the replacement part number, taking the place of the original part number which was not listed to avoid confusion.

Eric November 08, 2014 for Model Number fex831fs my dryer it take along time to dry. would it be the thermal limiter or thermostat
1 Answer Eric, The first thing to check is the venting of the dryer from the blower wheel to the outside of the unit. Improper air flow will cause the dryer to not dry properly. Read More...
Richard October 27, 2014 for Model Number LEQ1452KSO Hello,I just changed the control thermistor when I turned the dryer on it run for a min. Then I lost power to the dryer what could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Richard. Check and see if there is a bad connection in the unit. Trace the wires and see where your losing power at. 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 Read More...
Richard N October 26, 2014 for Model Number LEQ1452KSO Does it matter which wire goes back on the thermal limiter,or the control thermistor,or the high limit thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Richard. As long as the wires are the correct ones for each part, the orientation does not matter. Read More...
Barb October 22, 2014 for Model Number FAQE7111LW1 My Frigidaire affinity dryer model # FAQE7111LW1 does not have display. Checked circuit breaker and cord. Unplugged for a while and single beep and display flashed when I plugged back in. Still no display and will not start
1 Answer Barb, If there is power to the main control board but no display then the issue will be a faulty control board which would need to be replaced. The part number for the control is 137070890NH. Read More...
Anthony October 21, 2014 for Model Number 970C8004200 Someone in our household recently tried to dry a large blanket which overheated our dryer. Now it doesn't turn on, and I suspect it is the thermostat or thermal fuse. My question is if the fuse blows, does it take the actual thermostat with it? Or should I just change the fuse first and see if it works? Thank you!
Wolf October 09, 2014 for Model Number GLET1031FS4 combo w/d My Dryer does not heat. the parts diagram shows a 2 lug thermal fuse mounted on the fan housing but, I find a 4 lug thermostat (135-15F) am I looking in the wrong place? or is this an all in one? I have resistance between the 2 outside lugs but the 2 inside lugs appear open. any help would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Wolf, The thermostat that is located on the back of the blower housing is the cycling thermostat 131298300 which is 4 terminal. The thermal limiter is located by the top part of the heater and is part number 134120900 which is 2 terminal. Read More...
Eli October 04, 2014 for Model Number frigidaire affinity I have an electronic Frigidaire affinity that makes a click noise after I press "start", time counts down, but it wont spin (at least sometimes). It seems like a deteriorating problem as it used to happen rarely, now it happens often. I don't believe its a fuse or switch because why then does it work sometimes, but not always? If its a heat sensor then shouldn't the "cool down" button come on (because it never does)? Any ideas? The unit is about 6 years old.
1 Answer Eli, We would need to have the model number of the unit to be able to assist properly with your question. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
