Hi everyone, This is my first post.

Can I get some help trouble shooting. I took the front panel apart and did not see anything unusual on the circuit board. There is power getting to the board but nothing lights up or beeps when I hit start. Is there anything else I can do myself to isolate the problem with hopes of replacing what is broken and not the whole dryer.

I have already replaced the cicuit board once (got the wires crossed at the wall plug) last April or so.

Please help.

-Stefan

If I were guessing...

I would guess that it is the thermal fuse, which would fail in the case of a blockage in the vent duct. The thing is that I don't guess...I follow the path of power with my volt/ohm meter and find where the break in the circuitry is. I used to love selling parts to fellows that try to guess ($$$)

If it is the thermal fuse, the dryer should still run, but without heat. At least that is what mine did when I had to replace it.

Here's Product Documentation for 84082

From Electrolux site. "Parts manual" has circuit diagram as well as parts drawings. The one called "wiring diagram" has some scheme to invoke the built-in computer diagnostic.

If that's a Frigidaire built dryer, the thermal fuse going out will cause everything to go dead.
