Hiwaystar July 08, 2020 for Model Number LGQ2152ES0 Hello, Frigidaire gas dryer runs but not dryng clothes. After few minutes of startup, lights on right side of control panel flash in unison. Lights denote; Drying , Cool Down, Press Saver, Clean Lint Filter, and Control. Thanks for the help and a nice website.
1 Answer Hiwaystar, the flashing is going to indicate an error code and the number of times the lights flash indicate a specific error code. The number of times the 5 lights flash before pausing would be needed as well as how many times the start button flashes. This will allow the identification of what error is being shown. Read More...
Candy July 03, 2020 for Model Number Sears Kenmore 417 8405 2500 15 year old Sears Kenmore electric dryer. Dries inconsistently. It's label on the front says it has a Balanced Drying System and Moisture Sensor. Neither seems to be working, if I understand their purpose correctly. The heat varies on all settings, from clothes being still very damp on the end of their cycles to almost burning towels on the Towels setting. Also, the outside top of the drying gets very hot; almost burns my hand if I touch it once the drying has been running for more than 1 hour. Thank you for your help. I looked at the parts on line that I thought may be the problem, but not sure. Also, at its age, it may make more sense to purchase a new dryer. ?
1 Answer Hello Candy, it sounds like the heater relay on the main control board is erratic, the control board is part 137008010NH. Read More...
Brian February 19, 2020 for Model Number FFRE1001PW0 Hello. Dryer runs for 10 to 15 seconds then shuts off. Doesn't matter what setting it's on. It's not the vent because the vent isn't hooked up. Thanks.
1 Answer Brian, You will want to check to make sure that the rollers are not seized up. Look for any type of drag on the motor that will cause it to overheat and shut down. Read More...
Jimbo January 27, 2020 for Model Number 417.94072301 Would a bad thermistor cause the dryer to not turn on?
1 Answer Hello Jimbo, depending how far out of spec the thermistor is the control board may prevent the dryer from heating or from starting. Read More...
Alva November 12, 2019 for Model Number FASG7074LW0 Dryer runs but no heat at all. Replaced the control circuit board. Nothing. Diagnostic Mode 6, Inlet Control Thermistor - LED shows "HEAT2 - NTC2" but no temperature value. FYI: Modes 5 and 7 show 69 degrees. What could be the problem and what do I have to replace. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Alva, this model does not use an inlet thermistor so the lack of a reading in test 6 is correct. You would need a multimeter for further testing. Start with whether there is 120v going into the burner circuit on orange to black wires,if not orange is 120v from the board heater relay and black is the neutral thru the motor load switch. If there is 120v test the radiant sensor is closed, check the ignitor and the burner coils. Read More...
2 Answers Jim, thanks for the question, your dryer uses a thermister instead of a thermostat, the part number is 134587700, it is located on the front of the blower housing. Read More...
Dan November 26, 2017 for Model Number FASG7073LW0 frigidaire affinity gas dryer The dryer heats up well, but the clothes come out smelling of burnt gas, burnt gas smelled from outside building from exhaust tube. NO gas smell when dryer is off. The vent tube has been cleaned, the thermistor in the front (near blower) is good, the exhaust thermistor (on the exhaust vent is good). The diagnostic code reads E F2 (I checked it multiple times and it always reads E F2). Any help would be appreciated, thanks
1 Answer Dan, Any of the EF codes will be a restricted vent, exhaust thermistor, inlet thermistor or a control board that is faulty. Double check venting and since the others check ok then this will be a faulty main control board. Read More...
Robert October 30, 2017 for Model Number FAQE7011LW0 Would a bad thermistor cause the dryer to continue to run with no heat ,dryer will stop when door is open,no error codes on the dryer led, all sensor test good on the ohm meter ,except for thermistor (meter set at 20k) I cannot get no reading, the heating element reading on the ohms meters 10
1 Answer Robert, Based on your post information, you have more than one problem. No, a "bad" thermistor would not cause the dryer to"continue to run, dryer will stop when door is open" This is most likely due to a "stuck" motor relay on the control board. The resistance on the heater element should be 10 to 12 ohms, so the heater itself is OK. The control Thermistor is rated at 50K ohms resistance at room temp.(77 dgrs.F.) you want to reset your meter to a higher resistance range and recheck the thermistor resistance, If it remains at no resistance or an open circuit, the thermistor will need to be replaced. it would be the cause of the no heat situation, based on your information.

Ed June 04, 2017 for Model Number kenmore model 41788042700 Dryer heat up some but have run 2 times to get a load dry would that be the thermostat. thank you
1 Answer Ed, You will want to check the venting of your unit from the blower housing to the outside of your home as this would be the most likely cause for the unit to take longer to dry than normal. Read More...
