Hi all, I"m fixing a friends's dryer, limited visits during Covid, so I haven't stayed around for an entire cycle. Gas starts and heats for quite a few minutes, it seems as though once it kicks off for 1st achieving temp, it never heats again. I took off the front and cleaned tons from the lint screen at the bottom of the door all the way to the blower, very full of lint. Darn clean everywhere else for 21 years old, and he already cleaned the vent and we checked the very strong stream coming outside the house.. So I suspect the one and only thermo.
Dryer is FDG336RES1, the thermo on the blower housing is one of Frigidaire's infamous multi wire #131534900, supposedly NLA after just 21 years? I think 5 wires? is there a substitute? The dial claims Hi Med Low heat, frankly he'd be happy with a SAFE high-heat only, I don't know what thermo to suggest. Is this a safety limit and 3 temp cycling thermo all in one? | ||

upon further review
I've searched all the diagrams, there's also a high limit thermo mounted behind the drum's back. Is this the guilty party?
5308015399 Also, he'll end up running the dryer for 3 hours without heat to dry the clothes. 3 days later, it will heat again for one warming 5 minutes, then cut out for hours. Now I'm thinking safety thermo mounted behind the drum's rear perforated back. Hmmmmm CLICK HERE TO GO TO akronman's LINK This post was last edited 10/18/2020 at 19:43 | ||
