FER341ZAS0 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

I YouTube'd how to repair it. It was super easy. Needed a power drill to get the screwsa off and a flat head screwdriver to pry off the wires but besides that it took about ten minutes and I was finished.

removed knob..very easy instructions..took 10 min...very pleased with repair and fast order...

My wife simply removed the knob from the package and pushed it on. No tools were needed and she felt satisfaction that she was able to "fix" the problem on her own.

Removed rear cover, unplug 2 spade connectors, twist out old switch, twistin new switch. plug connectors, install cover

Removed back panel. Popped off top of dryer, then removed front of dryer. Slid belt onto tumbler, put front cover back on, put top back on and adjusted belt frombottom panel cover.

I cut off the four that didn't line up - I suppose since this was a gasket that fit several makes, I should expect this type of problem.

Watched video sent to me after I purchased belt on line. Super helpful!

Had to open back side vent & use needle nose to secure spring.

1.Removed access panel on back of machine in order to place a block under the drum(see step 3).2. Removed the top (clips), 3.removed the front panel(clips), block placed under drum earlier prevents drum from tilting and makes removing front panel with door very easy.4. Slipped new belt on. 5.Replaced front panel and removed block under drum. 6. Aligned belt and checked movement of drum, 7. attched belt to pulley on motor and positioned belt tensioner.8. Installed top and access panels.
This repair is very straight forward, block under drum makes things easy, since the drum stays level when the front panel is removed and replaced.

Unscrewed the back cover of the control console.
Unscrewed the one screw holding the facia plate to the control console at center of timer switch, then removed the start control knob and the heat selector control knob. Had to use a flat blade screw driver to wedge the heat selector knob off its spindle.
Although all screws removed, unable to remove facia plate due to plastic strip beneath it. Tried to remove the strip, held in by four tension points - one each end and two along the middle. Could not remove it without breaking the securing points off the back of the strip in the middle (plastic also).
After strip came off, easy to remove the facia. Identified the proper location of wiring attached to defunct start switch, and then removed the switch by turning clockwise a short distance.
Inserted the new switch, turned counterclockwise til it snapped into position.
Reversed steps to re-attach facia and back cover of control console. Despite the broken prongs in the middle, the plastic strip under the facia still stays in place by tension and is secured on the ends, so looks unnecessary to replace it. Bad design to not let you see how it is attached before you have to break it to get it loose!
Cleaned all surfaces and tested new start switch, which worked perfectly first try. Re-attached venting duct and repositioned dryer next to washer. Task completed.

The heating coil wire broke and a section of it has become uncoiled. I had to remove the drum to access the heating coil. Disassembly was relatively easy. I took a good amount of time removing the excess lint all inside the dryer. The difficult part was re-installing the sheet metal screws as a few didn't want to cooperate due to burrs or slight misalignment.

I researched possible causes on line and watched a PartsSelect video on YouTube on how to test. I ended up misreading test results and ordered the High Limit Thermostat but subsequently realized problem was the Terminal Block. No problem, PartsSelect took back the Thermostat (I hadn't installed it) and shipped me the Terminal Block. My dryer was back up and running in less than 7 days from initial analysis to installation of Terminal Block. Instructions that came in confirmation email for installation were perfect and easy to follow. Total cost with new power cord from Home Depot was less than $50 vs a quoted service call of $175+ parts from local electrician.

i removed two screws that hold the top of the dryer on at the back of the dryer then i removed a couple of screws that hold the front of the dryer on at the top of the front then i disconnected the two wiring connecters inside the front and a ground wire when the belt came i put it around the drum and took two screws out on the back of the dryer near the floor that hold a small panel in place to access the motor i put the belt on the motor and idler wheel and that was it put together and done

installed new parts on the dryer in a natter of less than two minuted

I watched the video that I saw posted on youtube. My dryer did not have a panel on the back to remove, so the part was very easily accessible. I simply took the old switch off and replaced it with the new one. The most impressive part was receiving the part so quickly. That was awesome! It saved me a trip to the laundromat. I really did not expect to receive it so quickly. Thank you!!!
