Chapo September 13, 2011 My dryer starts its cylce normal but when reaches 44 min. it reads Ad then turns to 5 cool down but never feels like its heating and makes this horrible scraping sound.
1 Answer Hi Chapo. Is your model # FEQ1442ES0? If so then you will need to replace the thermister part is 134587700. In response to the scraping sound you will need the drum bearing kit part # 5303281153. The front seal is part # 134440200. The lower seals with the adhesive is part # 5303937183. The dryer drum glide is part # 137513300. Thank you. Read More...
Angel F. August 29, 2011 for Model Number GLET1031CS0 I have a frigidaire Electrolux dryer. I replaced the heat switch which I knew was bad and also the bearing, but when I turn it on it still wont heat up the element to dry clothes.
1 Answer Hello Angel. 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 thermal fuses 3204267 134120900 and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Gene H. July 24, 2011 for Model Number frigidiare DRYER model CRER5700AS1 The dryer over heats. We do not have an air flow problem. Where would the problem be?
1 Answer Hello Gene. You will need to test the air temperature coming out the back of the dryer. See if it is cycling properly. if not, you may need to replace the thermostat 131298300. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Brent July 12, 2011 for Model Number GLEQ642AS2 When we start drying the dryer it gets real hot and has a smell to it.
1 Answer Hi Brent. Normally when a dryer has a clogged vent system and the vent hood / cap outside is not working right, your unit will start to over heat. This will lead to blowing a thermal fuse and weakening the cycling thermostat, possibly opening the High limit (Safety Fuse). The thermal fuse is part # 134120900. It is located on the inside back wall. At the top rt. side on the heater housing. Thank you. Read More...
Christie June 30, 2011 for Model Number CDE5000FW0 Ok my husband wired up a new plug for my dryer backwards and put a hot wire where ground was suppose to go and the ground in place of hot wire. Of course when he turned on breaker it burned the control board. I have replaced the control board and also the thermal fuse. When flip breaker after wiring plug correctly , we got it to go thrugh all selections for different cycles. But when we push the start button it beeps three times and lights flash and then nothing happens. Any ideas on what else to check or replace?
1 Answer Hi Christie. Yes , It sounds like you also need to change the door switch part # 134813601. This probably shorted along with the parts you already replaced. Hope this helps. Thank you. Read More...
Kc Resident June 11, 2011 for Model Number 41784052500 I have this Kenmore dryer and it started acting up. When I start a cycle, any cycle it runs for a little bit and then it stops and starts beeping. Now the manual says if it beeps six times then one of the control on the front is stuck but I took it apart and its just fine but I have personally concluded that it maybe the Thermostat or the Thermistor both of which I have taken out of the dryer, so I wanted to get another opinion. Thanks
1 Answer Hello, you can test both the thermostat and thermistor. You will need a multi meter MA-DM1, the thermostat should read closed for continuity and the thermistor should give you a resistance reading. Here is a link you can refer to for help with using a multi meter: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html . Hope this helps!

David June 10, 2011 for Model Number 417.94712400 My dryer is not drying completely as it did. I removed the drum and watched the heating element during a cycle. The element comes on for about 2 minutes then shuts off for a bit, then back on. Is this normal? I have to run 5 bath towels through twice to dry them. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello David. Yes, the heater should cycle on and off. That is normal. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Guest May 21, 2011 for Model Number FER311FSO My dryer will not heat up. The dryer vent is not clogged. It comes on but it doesn't dry. What could be wrong?
1 Answer Hello. If your unit will not heat it could point to several issues. The first thing to check would be the thermal fuse and the thermostats with a multi meter [AP344064]. I will include a link to an article on how to test various parts with a meter. If those are all in good shape, you can check the element and all the wiring in the unit to make sure there are no burnt out pieces. I hope this info helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello. Does the unit run at all when you turn on the timer? If so, try disconnecting the dryer from the vent tube on the rear of the unit and run a cycle. If you notice that the unit is now heating, you will want to clear out any obstruction in the tubing. Thanks! Read More...
Brendan April 30, 2011 for Model Number fde436res1 Here's what happened with my dryer. 1. Coil stayed on even after the dryer was off. Coil burned through and broke into many pieces (turned black). I bought a new coil and installed. 2. Dryer would then not turn on, so I bought a thermal limiter and installed. 3. Dryer turned on, then after five minutes, heard a pop. Second coil burned through, this time almost at the insertion point. So, I am thinking it is the thermostat on the element. The dryer was very very hot after I installed the limiter, it seemed. Obviously hot enough to burn through the coil. Could I have crossed wires? Please advise, as this will be the second coil from your site.
1 Answer Hello Brendan. It sounds like the cycling thermostat 131298300 is bad. This is the part that turns the heater off and on, based on the temperature of the dryer. Hope this helps. Read More...
