Frigidaire Dryer DE27A5WXFF Won't start or doesn't start

The Thermal Limiter is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It acts as a safety feature, designed to prevent the dryer from overheating by shutting down the appliance when the internal temperature exceeds safe limits. 

Symptoms of a failing Thermal Limiter include:

• The dryer failing to start or stopping abruptly during a cycle
• No heat being generated while the dryer is running
• The dryer overheating or feeling excessively hot

Common causes for a bad thermal limiter include restricted airflow due to a clogged lint filter or venting system, component failure from age or faulty manufacturing, and unusually high operating temperatures from overloading the dryer or mechanical failures elsewhere in the system. When a thermal limiter trips or fails, it must be replaced to restore functionality to the dryer.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Dryer Drum Belt is an OEM replacement part designed for use with Frigidaire dryers. This critical component is responsible for turning the drum of your dryer, allowing your clothes to tumble freely and dry evenly. 

Causes of a bad Dryer Drum Belt can include wear and tear from regular use, overloading the dryer, which puts extra strain on the belt, or exposure to excessive heat, which can cause the belt to become brittle and break.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drum Belt include:

• The dryer motor running but the drum not turning
• Unusual noises, such as thumping or squealing, coming from the dryer when it is running
• The dryer not starting at all, in some cases

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models, ensuring a wide range of users can benefit from its reliable operation.

NOTE: Please note that this dryer drum belt is sold individually. Any additional parts or hardware will require additional purchases.

Constructed from durable materials, this door catch is designed to endure the frequent opening and closing of the dryer door, offering reliability and longevity.

Causes of a bad door catch include mechanical wear from regular use, accidental damage, or misalignment of the door.

Symptoms of a bad Door Catch include:

• The dryer door won't stay shut during cycles
• Difficulty closing the dryer door securely
• The need to apply extra force to close the door
• The dryer stops running due to the door opening mid-cycle

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

The Dryer Timer is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is responsible for controlling the drying cycles by regulating the amount of time the dryer runs. The timer ensures that clothes are dried according to the selected settings, contributing to efficient and effective drying performance.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Timer include:

• The dryer not advancing through cycles
• The dryer running continuously without shutting off
