Hey thank you very much, this is very helpful. Thank you for not torturing us with meaningless drivel and stupid loud music! Also for any of you reading this I suggest you clean out your vent from under your crawl space, you would be surprised how full that vent pipe gets, and it's a real fire hazard.

You are very welcome. I watch tons of training vids too. Just the facts is my motto.

My dryer heating element went out on my Frigidaire Dryer. It doesn't have music or anyone talking, but this video helped me out a lot and I took my dryer apart as I watched this video. Thanks.

"If you are bleeding, take a break and clean up." I laughed at this part of the video, and then saw that I was bleeding. #Damnit Also, thank you so much for posting this. It's not exactly a step-by--step, but I used your video to replace the rear bearing assembly and the heater element for my Frigidaire Affinity front-loading dryer.

Ray Boyington Ha ha I love this. Glad you got it working. Mine is still going but i did the main board and a couple door latches. I replaced the door screws and hope it will stay level now.

The stupid door latch never stays put for me. We just have a weighted hamper now that is propped against and keeps the door closed when we're drying stuff.

Ray Boyington Not a bad idea the part cost 25 bucks. My wife was using duct tape. Seems to be better with new screws in the door hinge with lock tight.

Big thank you for posting this. Our machine came apart just as you described. Our heater coil was broken in the middle replaced and works again. Great helpful video....

Always stay up to date on those in my business.

Thanks buddy. Huge help. Mine is going strong once again.

5 months since the video and the dyer is working great. Matching washer won't add the fabric softener any more time to pull apart the dispenser.

If i want to clean lint out from around the heating element, do i use this same disassembly and re-assembly procedure? Or is there an easier way to do so?

@Oakheart

9 жыл бұрын

It would certainly give you access to the coil for cleaning I don't know of any easier way. The majority of the lint build up on mine was in the front panel and in the outflow tube.

Thanks a bunch! Did you get your tetnus shot?!

ouch certainty not made to last more than ten year but it depends on if maintenance is cheaper than replacement.

I honestly think all their products are crap and made to be crap. My parent's seem to not listen to me. They brought TWO refrigerators that broke down. Then my brother brought one and IT broke down and NOW the dryer breaks down literally two weeks after the warranty expired. I hate their products.

OK, got rid of 3 of 4 codes. Still have the E5b code. "Heater Fault", manual says to replace "Electronic Control". Local appliance store price is $240.00, they say it's a regular occurance with this model. Shopping for new set.

Dang o well that's too bad 240 is pretty high for a machine this old I guess.

My heater coil is not heating up, could it be a relay/wiring? Just took the whole thing apart, cleaned it all. Nothing.. watched it run with the top off and coils are not red/hot. But, i did here a bang and a flash/spark..Coil trying to turn on? help

@Oakheart

mine was obviously the coil I could see the break there are a few other things is could be.

Black wire located near heating element was either burnt in to or caused by corrosion, what do I need to do to fix it?

@Oakheart

7 жыл бұрын

BettyAnn Tiller you could replace or butt splice the wire but you might want to let a tech do it.

I get the E5b code. How do I know if it's not just the thermal resistor? Guess I can take the whole thing apart & just look at the coil.

@Oakheart

7 жыл бұрын

That's what I did. There are a couple of good videos showing how to test the resistor but it's already half apart at that point so.

I'll apologize in advance for the cursing... This model is the same as Kenmore 970-c88992-00 In case anyone was cursed with that Sears brand.

You might want to get help if they are stripped. They can still be pulled with the right tools. Then you would have to get new ones too. Mine I can turn with my multi tool but i have had them out a few times.
