FEZ831CAS1 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

i took out the two back screws lift the top.
took the two bottom front screws , lifted andtook off the front panel.took off the old belt an intall the new one in a circular motion put the panel and top back on and done.

Removed 2 screws at bottom of the front panel - removed front panel by sliding the panel down about 1/2 inch and then away from the appliance- v belt is removed by pushing the tensioner pulley to remove tension from the belt and turning the pulley untill the belt is removed instalation is a simple reverse of the process. I did't have a repair manual so every step was trial and error untill I was able to complete the repair.

this problem resulted from the belt gone bad so here I replace both ( belt & motor )
FIRST OF ALL DISCONNECT APPLIANCE
1. removing back acces panel to the motor (10" X 10" louver ) 2 screws
2. removing the front door by
a) removing the front panels between washer/dryer
b) removing front control panel 6 screws, pushing downward the panel and disconnecting all electrical junctions
c) remove (2) plastic plugs holding the lint collector from the door ( under the lint screen) using pliers.
d) removing 2 screws at bottom of door (previously covered by front panel) and 4 screws holding down the top panel and the door panel.
3. removing the blower housing 6 screws, + one on the exaust tubing, followed by the blower fan first removing the metal clip with pliers then (by inserting very small (2) screwdrivers under) its locking shaft (the 2 smaller of the 3 sections )you can slip the fan out.
4. removing the back panel of the fan housing 3 screws
5. removing the front and back motor holding clips (pliers) and disconnecting its electrical connector.
GIVE YOUR VACCUUM CLEANER A RIDE
Reinstalation is the reverse process, for the motor and the blower then just slip the belt over the drum (from the front) treading it into its motor wheel (through rear access panel) and tensioning it, replace al the open panel reconnecting all electrical connectors and don't forget to reconnect the clear pastic tubing into its switch actuator.

I did spend more than two hours as I had to explore first the whole assembly, now that I know it two hour should be more than enough, if you follow my instructions and you are a little handy 2 hour should be it.

First I removed the front panel,then set the timer to run. It began the drain,spin cycle, pump ran, but no water went out. Shop-vac the water out,removed hoses from pump,took out mounting screws from base, unplug pump plug. check hoses for debris since they're open, the impeller was broken. ordered the part . Mount the pump to the base, put the hoses on, plug in motor and replace front panel. plug into wall

I read the others repair story and it was a easy repair, my wife had a repairman come out and check it already, he stated to her that it was a major repair and that he needed to take it to the shop for repair, well he was full of sh##!!! The unit is a stackable washer dryer,if the screws inside the drum backout, the belt comes off and caused mine to brake the belt,my wife found the 2 small screws in the bottom of the tub,theres a small cover on the back that you remove and you can see belt drive pully! Follow the directions that have been explained on others listed it"s easy!!! Mike

First I took sides off the washer. I then took screws out of the Drain pump holder. Unclamped the two pipes from it. Undid the wires to then drain pump. Screw in the new pump hardware. Plugged in the wires on side of the pump. Reclamped the pipes. Put sides back on washer and it worked. That easy and took less then 30 minutes. I am no handy man so thats how easty it was.

I got online and figured out exactly how to take off the front of the washer and then how to replace the belt. It was so easy. The part itself arrived much sooner than predicted. It fit perfectly and my washing machine is now running smoothly and quietly.

Checked problem on-line and discovered it was the water inlet valve. Matched the part on part select. Com. Finding the part was very easy. Part select had a grid behind the picture to help determine the size and pictures from all sides. Removing the old part, matching it, and replacement took a total of 30 minutes. I now have clean clothes.

After moving machine to an area that allowed easy access to the unit, disconnected the water supply hoses from the inlet valve.
Removed the two screws that keep the back in place, removed the clips that keep the top in place, moved the top over far enough to get the valve out. Removed the screw that keeps the inlet valve in place, disconnected the power supply to the valve, Pulled valve out in order to remove the water outlet hose. Repalced with new vale, and reversed order to install. Works just fine now.

The part number was on the knob itself. I did a google search and found it at this site and ordered it. My initial surprise was how fast i received the part. I installed it in about 3 seconds and it's been fine ever since.

I will definitely use this site again. Easy part identification and FAST SHIPPING!

First I removed the two screws that hold the pump in place. I then pulled the pump out and replaced it with the new pump.

followed the instructions on a blog

i removed the front panel, then removed the old pump by taking off the clamps and disconnected the wiring. The new pump had to be reversed before connecting, but it was so easy.

I removed the broken knob from the metal shaft with a pair of pliers and slid the new knob in place.

Piece of cake!

removed the two 'lock down flanges' from the back of the machine, lifted the top from the front and slid it forward to access the valve. Removed the two electrical connections then the compression ring from the hose on the output side. Removed two screws holding the valve in place, then reversed the process.

I wish this valve was made of metal rather than plastic. I had to replace it because the threads were stripped. Here's the heads up. Make sure the fittings on your supply hoses are 'clean' or you'll mess up the plastic threads and not get a good seal.
