Frigidaire Dryer FGFB9100ES0 Won't start or doesn't start

The Motor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is responsible for driving the drum rotation in the dryer, allowing for the tumbling and drying of clothes. It converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, providing the necessary power to spin the drum and circulate air for efficient drying.

Causes of a faulty dryer motor can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage. These factors can result in issues such as the drum not spinning, unusual noises during operation, or the dryer not heating properly.

Symptoms of a bad dryer motor may include:

• The drum not rotating or spinning
• Unusual grinding or squealing noises while the dryer is in use
• Dryer not generating heat or insufficient drying performance

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

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.

The Door Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part ensures that the dryer operates safely by only allowing the machine to run when the door is completely closed. Positioned typically at the door frame, the switch activates when the door is shut, signaling the control system that it's safe to begin the cycle.

Over time, door switches can wear out or become damaged, which can interfere with the normal operation of the dryer. 

Symptoms of a faulty Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the door is closed.
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly, which might be due to a loose or faulty switch.
• A lack of the usual "click" sound that indicates the door has latched properly, suggesting the switch isn’t engaging.
• The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened, which poses a significant safety risk.

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

The Door Catch is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It secures the door closed during cycles. This allows the machine to safely run without the risk of the door opening, which could pause the drying process or pose a safety hazard. 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 Control Thermistor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This component plays a critical role in regulating the temperature inside the dryer by monitoring the internal conditions and sending temperature data to the control board. The control board then uses this information to adjust the heat cycle, ensuring clothes dry evenly and safely. 

Symptoms of a failing control thermistor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or cycles running too hot or too cold
• Frequent stopping or starting of the dryer
• Error messages related to temperature or sensor issues displayed on the control panel

Causes of control thermistor failure generally involve faulty wiring, accumulation of lint and debris affecting the sensor's accuracy, or wear and tear from regular use that leads to degradation of the sensor components.

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