I downloaded the pages on troubleshooting but spent a lot of time on getting the least understanding of the lights. Then I found the function test sequence and was able to run through those with some sense of understanding. My dryer a fgq144220E Frigidaire,(I think) translates digital data into lights and turning off and on, but to the best of my knowledge, I moved as quickly as carefully with the progression "around the clock". None of the "hours" reacted in a manner different from those in the test sequence. That,at least, was comforting. BUT the dryer still tended to drop a cycle after drying two, though a little manipulation of the cycle often gets it going again.

Sorry to be late with my reply, but I had to work up to and over the weekend.

Stupid me! FGQ1442EOS

After the coils were replaced and the box put back together, the auto dry only worked for about two loads of laundry. Then it stopped and the control panel lit up like Christmas with jumping blinking lights. For the moment it dries very well on the timer but my wife would like the auto to work for different types of clothing.

At least with my Frigidaire that's not such an easy operation. The old coils are held in the grip of a steel clamp who's philips screws do not offer a good purchase.

It's possible that if the plastic wire fasteners holding the coils to the clamp were not so tenatious, the old coils could allow the coils to slip out and the newones to take their place, but I haven't had the courage to jam a screwdriver down in the joining pieces yet.

Hoping there is a civilized way to get them in and out.

Thanks I will order parts and give that a shot.
