Could anyone tell or show me photo where the thermal fuse and ignitor located for Frigidaire gas dryer?

We need the complete model number of the dryer. You can find it on the door frame or on the top panel.

Hi Gene,

I have Frigidaire dryer model: FDG37GHS0. COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO CHECK THERMOSTAT, TIMER, TEMP SELECT SWITCH, SENSOR, IGNITOR IN RESISTANCE. I OPEN THE DRYER APART, BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK OR MEASURE THE DEVICES. I MEASURED ON IGNOTOR WITH 62 OHM, IS IT SUPPOSE TO BE THE SPECIFICATION? ALSO MEASURE TEMP SELECT SWITCH: HIGH TEMP SELECT WITH 7k OHM, MID TEMP WITH1.8k OHM, AND LOW TEMP WITH ZERO OHM. ARE THESE READING CORRECT? According to diagram: at high temp selection it should be open, at mid temp - it should be 2.4K ohm, and at low temp - it should be max of 10 ohm.

I SEE THE IGNITOR LIGHT UP FOR SECOND AND CUT OFF, AND THERE IS NO HEAT.

PLEASE HELP.

The first failure suspect are the gas valve coils.

- The part number for the set of coils is AP2150379

Hi Gene,

Is there any possible way to check to see if the gas valve coils good or bad? can it be measured with DMM?

[Gene]

The coil with two terminals should have 1220 ± 50 Ohms.

The coil with three terminals, if held with terminals in upper position:
a). across the left and the middle terminals - 1365 ± 25 Ohms
b). across the right and the left terminals - 560 ± 25 Ohms.

Gene,

what about thermostat heat control, sensor,and ignitor? I want to make sure these aparts measure fine before replace them.

And what about temp selection switch?

[Gene]

I do not think there is something wrong with these parts. I would start with the gas valve coils unless you want to replace everything. Don't make it more complicated than it is.

Hi Gene,

Your support was helpful, I found my secondary coil burn. I replaced the part and now my dryer is backed to normal operation. My wife is happy and thanks for your great job.

[Gene]

You're welcome. I'm glad you were able to fix it and a happy wife is most important.

Gene.
