Dryer cut off before the clothes were dry.
All the symptoms indicated the thermister (located in the exhaust air stream of the dryer) was the problem. Pulled the lower panel off the dryer. Took out the two lower screws holding the door panel on so I could pull the front panel out just enough to get a screwdriver on the screws holding the thermister on. Unhooked the two wires connected to it and hooked them to the new thermister(no need to observe polarity). Put the new thermister in, screwed the door panel back down, put the lower panel on and started drying clothes.

Dryer would run for several seconds and then stop. The indicicator lights would then flash.
I seen a post on your website referring to the exact problem I was having. One of your staff recommended changing the control thermistor, which I did following the U-Tube video link you supplied. The repair went well and the dryer now operates perfectly ! Thanks for the accurate and helpful info.

Unplugged dryer. Removed top panel (2 screws top back of dryer). Removed control panel ( Unplugged from control board and 2 screws) Removed front panel with door ( Unplugged light from control board, door switch at connector, and 4 screws) Removed Control Thermister from dryer exhaust blower housing located bottom front of dryer ( Unplugged 2 wires and removed 2 screws ) Installed new Control Thermister and replaced all screws and panels in reverse order. Note: Noticed connector for door switch seemed a little loose when connected correctly. Used electrical tape to reinforce connection. Plugged dryer back in and checked operation.

Saw that a thermistor could be the problem, would a bad one show any signs of being bad? Is there any trouble shooting I can do so I'm not just shotgunning part swaps? Our dryer is stopping during its dry cycle and upon further "inspection" its not pumping any hot air out and the clothes are still cold. The lint vent is free of clogs. Thanks for the help
For model number FEQB4000FS0
Hi Cameron,
Thank you for your question. This part can be tested with a multi-meter. It should ready 50K ohms of resistance at 77 degrees F. However, this part is not part of the dryer heating circuit, so it is unlikely that this is the cause of your appliance not getting any hot air. Test it anyway, just in case. You should also look at your thermal limiter, high limit thermostat, and your heating element. Good luck with your repair.

If i put an ohm meter to the wire connectors on this part and get no reading does it mean it's bad. I have replaced the thermal limiter on the exhaust tube and the dryer worked one time before failing again. Trying to find out why it keeps blowing. No clogs in the blower system. Thanks
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your question. Yes, if you get no readings at all when testing the part then it is more than likely bad. Good luck with your repair.

Laundry center dryer starts but then shuts off after a few seconds. I just replaced the heating element assembly.
For model number 417.61712510
Hello Wyatt, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing/replacing the thermistor PartSelect Number: PS1149368. This part controls the temperature of the inside of the dryer drum and prevents the dryer from overheating. If the thermistor is malfunctioning it will shut the unit off when it gets too hot. You should also check PartSelect Number: PS446428 which is the high limit thermostat,. This part turns the element on and off to maintain the right internal temperature. I hope this helps!

My dryer is giving me 2 errors e03 and e4a. E03 can find info about it but e4a is long dry time. My dryer has the problem you describe for this part its Star and 10 seconds later it stops. Sometimes i can get it to run a full cycle like it has nothing could this be the part i need
For model number 417.91122310
Hello Pedro, thank you for writing. The error code E4A indicates that the dryer ran too long. This could be due to a ventilation restriction. Check the ventilation to make sure that it is clear, and also the Blower Wheel for heavy lint build up. You may also want to consider either the Control Thermistor part PS1149368 or the Door Catch part PS418433 for your model. We hope this helps.

My dryer started out not putting out any heat and will stop mid-cycle and all the lights (drying, cooling, press saver, and clean lint filter) flash. I have vacuumed out the inside of the dryer and checked the vents. The tumbler drum rotates well. Belt is intact. I have replaced the heating element, the thermal limiter, and the high limit thermostat. Any suggestions on what to try next? I am not sure if replacing this part too will fix the problem.
For model number GLEQ2152ES1
Hello Sarah, thank you for contacting us. It sounds like it may be the control thermistor. This part controls the temperature of the inside of the dryer drum and prevents the dryer from overheating. This part is located in the blower housing. This is different than the other parts you have already replaced. Hope this helps!

My dryer stopped heating and I replaced the heat core hole assicable and it still doesn't heat. Please help
For model number AEQ6000ES2
Hi Danielle, Thank you for the question. There are a few parts you will need to test with an Ohm Meter to see if they are defective. There is the Thermal Limiter - Limit 220,PartSelect Number PS419402. The High Limit Thermostat,PartSelect Number PS446428 and the Control Thermistor, PartSelect Number PS1149368. You will need to test them to check the resistance. Hope this helps!

This is a Frigidaire one piece washer and dryer with dryer on top. The dryer spins but doesn’t get hot, clothes remain cold. How can this be fixed or tested in order to get the correct part?
For model number FFLG4033QW1
Hello Marci, Thanks for your question. There are a few different parts you will want to test with a multimeter to ensure electrical continuity. Test the coil kit, thermal limiter, heat sensor, and the igniter. Replace any that do not have electrical continuity. I hope this helps.

I have a Frigidaire affinity front load dryer. It just started to stop roughly 5 8 minutes into its cycle. The only cycle it completes is the timed dry cycle which is 15 minutes. When it stops , all the light flash under the cycle status tab. Drying , cool down , and extended tumble. What part failure would cause this ? Thank you for your help in advance
For model number laqe7077kw0
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your question. If the dryer is shutting off too soon, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the high limit thermostat, the control thermistor, the thermal fuse and the door catch. For the electronic parts, you will need to test the parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. For the high limit thermostat, place the multi-meter on the Rx1 setting and test for continuity by touching the probes to each terminal. You should receive a reading of zero or infinity. If your test does not produce either of those readings, you need a replacement high limit thermostat. For the thermal fuse, make sure your multi-meter is also set to the Rx1 setting and touch the terminals with the probes to test for continuity. If you receive a reading other than zero or infinity, there is no continuity and you need a replacement thermal fuse. The multi-meter reading for the thermistor should read 50000 ohms of resistance at 77°F. You will need to inspect the parts visually to verify if it is damaged. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

For model number FFLE2022MW2
Hi Miguel,
Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the door switch, the drive belt and the electronic control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
