I have a Frigidaire Electric stackable dryer and washer combo, model # FEX831CS0.
I was in the process of drying a load of laundry, when my dryer just stopped. I can press the start Button but its like it is dead. No noise, no bussing..nothing.
At first I thought I blew a curcuit breaker in the fuse box, but Did not, and the washer works fine.
Any help would be great! Thanks

Here is your parts breakdown, includes a wiring diagram.
Replacement parts for FRIGIDAIRE FEX831CS0 Frigidaire/laundry Center | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is a manual. May not totally match your unit but should be close.

The most likely cause is that the thermal limiter (fuse) (Item 36 in Section 1 of the parts) blew. This kills power to the motor. See page 105 in the manual.

If it is blown the most common cause is a dirty/plugged vent system. Clean and check it. Check to be sure the louvers outside the house are opening.

If the vent is OK then get back to this forum as there are other things that should be checked before reassembling the unit.

Always a good idea to check all moving parts and give the interior a good cleaning including the blower wheel when you have it opened up.
On this unit I would also clean the rear bearing of old grease and re-lube it using a high temperature grease.
