[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Hey all, I appreciate the site and all of you so much for your time. I am trying to do this dryer repair and am truly stumped I really hope I can get some feedback. I have a Frigidaire electric dryer (model # FSE748GFS1) basically the dryer doesn’t dry all that well. The only chance of dry clothes is choosing the regular cycle and it takes about a cycle and a half, but using other cycles I get damp at best.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Here is what I have checked[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]-[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Venting, should be good, goes straight out of the house about 2.5 foot run with standard vent cover at the end, I cleaned inside the dryer thoroughly and made sure all vent connections were tight.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]-[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]The dryer has three sensors, or thermometers (high limit, control, and I guess just regular limit) I tested each with DMM all have continuity and are pretty much 0 resistance.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]-[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Heating element has about 11 ohms of resistance and I ran it without the cover and the heating element turned orange quickly.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]-[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]As the towels were drying I opened the door quickly to feel the back of the dryer and it was indeed hot[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Anything else I can check, do dryers just go bad? Any help would really be appreciated[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Thanks so much[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
On this model there tends to be a buildup of lint that blocks air in the door part leading to the blower. Check it out and see if that does not fix your problem.
If not, check the blower and make sure it is performing correctly.
