So well built from its outside looks. ~some say Frigidaire top-load washers don't last so long. Is this a top-loader? ~open the front access panel to find that I have a Kenmore on my hands. What gave it away? ~Can anyone tell me what years Kenmore made these units for Frigidaire to put their name on? Now that is putting the cart before the horse. 0000 was the year. Sears sticks the Kenmore name on everybody else's products. ~I hate Frigidaire washers and dryers. ~Such a flawless unit. I take it you now like them? Isn't a bad motor a flaw? The important thing is that you got them for free; were able to fix them; like them and now think better of Frigidaire. ENJOY! |

always start with the thermal fuse,if you dont hear the initial click of the gas coils when you start the dryer,thats usually the problem.you should see a piece about an inch long with 2 wires plugged into it connected to the exaust duct,tape them together and try the dryer.if thats not the problem then i would look for any burned spot on the igniter,if the igniter is good then it is more than likely the 2 round black coils,but since the dryer is only 2 years old it would probably be the thermal fuse or the igniter,if its the fuse check your exaust hose for lint build up.

It is not like a manufacturer simply slaps a Kenmore name on appliances as they roll off the production line. Long before Walmart, Sears would insist that manufacturers make changes to an appliance to suit their specs, then the appliances are produced in "leased factory" batches. That is to say for period of time a factory will only put out Kenmore appliances, then go back to making whatever models the makers puts out. The above is the reason that despite some appliances having poor ratings in terms of quality, service, and such, a similar model under the Kenmore brand gives better performance. Time and time again, Kenmore appliances out rated their cousins in Consumer Reports which one would think is surprising since they all come from the same plant. |
