FGR231CAS0 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

parts arrive just like they said they would .had parts installed with in 15 minutes was drying clothes thank you your advice was perfect.

Removed access plate in rear, raised top panel, removed two screws holding front panel (with door) put new belt over drum. Threaded belt through path between motor drive and idler wheel. Put everything back together.

My order was shipped very promptly, and was received very quickly. It is wonderful to have this service available on the internet. I can remember how difficult it used to be chasing down parts before. This was impossible in smaller cities.

The dryer was heating but the drum would not turn. We opened it up to see what the problem was. As soon as we opened it, we saw the belt was broken. I ordered a new one and after two trips to the laundromat I was ready to get the dryer fixed. That weekend we tackled the job. First I did a Google Search on Westinghouse dryer repair, found several ....one with a video:-) Punched in our model number and they went through the whole procedure....while it took them only 10 minutes, we took a little longer. But they had great ideas how to hold the drum while repairing, etc. Being recently laid-off this was a fantastic find. I have no idea how much a service call would be on the dryer nor could I afford a new one at this time.... Great old American Know How got it done.

I watched the video on the web site after selecting the part and it was pretty simple. Everything worked just like the video showed. Probably could have been done faster but I took time to vacuum the inside of the dryer out. Really liked the video.

Very easy fix on this system as described in other reviews. Simply unplug, lift top, remove two retaining screws on the dryer face, remove face from front of drum. Locate both coils at the lower left corner of the gas valve assembly.

Removed the top of the dryer above the dryer door by pulling the pop out plastic holds. I then removed the dryer plug in at the top inside dryer that controls the start when dryer door is closed. I thenremoved the screws that are located at the back of the dryer tub where the bearing is located. I then replaced the support bearing. I just replaced every thing I took off in reverse.

I love technology. First thing I did was google on "U-tube", "How to repair a squeaking dryer". Several videos out there so I just found the one I needed and watched. The repair itself went easy. A word of advice would be to be careful of sharp edges and to remember to unplug the machine prior to repair. While the drum is out, go ahead and get your shop vac and clean the inside of the unit out. Also, not only put grease on the new plastic holder, but put some on the shaft of the idler puller. I also used an awl to line up the holes on the front panel when re-installing the screws. One video I watched showed reaching in through the front to take the drum belt off the pulley, where another showed removing the inspection plate on the back. This made it much easier.

I simply had to open the plastic and stick the new timer knob on the dryer. It fit perfectly and more importantly, it arrived within 48 hours of me placing my order. Thanks!

Repair was simple and easy. I thought I was going to have to get a new machine.

Thanks

First, I took the new knob out. I slipped it easy on the washing machine.

It was all done.

When the Time Knob broke, I planed to buy a new dryer. My friend told me of this site. I cheched the site and made the order, less than 36 hours, I received the part, less than 1 minute. I replace the knob and it bakc to work. It costs me only $15.

How I love this site!

I replaced this belt once before but it squeaked for over a year. This belt from Part Select was much better quality and now the dryer works perfectly, no squealing!

I was surprised that the knob actually broke, and was also surprised at how much the part would cost direct from the manufacturer. The website had a ton of different knobs available, and I'm sure a number of them would have fit. The part showed up in just a few days and fit perfectly. Trying to set the dryer time using pliers makes a person appreciate the proper parts!

pulled old one off lined up new knob pushed on new one no tools-- less than a minute..

took off the old one,and the inner sleeve and put on the new one.

After pulling up the Frigidaire site on internet, there was a video as to how to replace the knob. Very simple to replace. Ordered it and the turn-around time was very fast.
