Default Dryer does not start
Model Number: FEFB9200ES   Brand: Frigidaire   Age: 1 - 5 years   

I'm not a savvy with fixing dryers at all.

Problem:
Dryer does not work when start button is selected. All I hear beeps, but it does not spin at all.

Fact:
When pressing button on control panel, I hear sound and beeps at every button selection. It's a digital panel.

Any help would be really appreciated. I've replaced thermal limiter but that didnt do anything. Any help would be appreciated.

The first thing I would check if there is 240V at the power outlet.

If there is nothing wrong, remove the bottom panel and look for an envelope with the tech sheets. Perform the troubleshooting according to the instructions from the tech sheets.

Default same problem

I'm having the same problem. It's been a month or so since you posted the above, so I'm wondering if you've had any luck with repairing this problem.
I'm wondering if it's perhaps a problem with the thermal limiter, but that's just a guess based on some of the reading on the web and the manual.

Did you have any success with resolving your problem?

You both will need a meter to check things, otherwise we all are just making guesses.

Default solution?

I broke down and called a repairman. He said the problem is the temperature control mechanism. He used an ohmeter to test the current (after looking at the electrical diagram for the dryer to find the right wiring to test) which indicated that it was indeed the problem. If our problems are the same and you know your way around an electrical diagram, I would download the diagram from the Frigidaire site (for this specific dryer) and find the temp control wiring and use an ohmeter to test this.

Good luck.
