FGR231CAS2 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

Removed the top and front of dryer. Removed the old bearing and held the new bearing in place while my husband tightened the bearing into place......easy......now the dryer runs quiet again.

My dryer was heating up very briefly blowing hot air initially then cool. I have a stacking washer/dryer set (2002). I initially turned off the gas valve at the wall, ran the dry for several minutes to clear the gas line, then unplugged the power. I was then able to pop the top using a flathead screw driver, securely prop it open, unhook the wiring harness to the front panel, unscrew the two front panel screws, and remove the entire front without having to unstack the units. From there, you remove the two screws holding the bracket over the coils (2 of them), remove the electrical connectors attached to both coils and replaced them with the new ones. I then replaced all brackets, screws, and such (you'll need to lift the drum when putting the front back on and make sure it is lined up), plugged it back into power and turned on the gas to test the unit which worked perfectly. The 62% of the time seems to be an accurate figure as nothing else had to be done to the unit. Pretty easy stuff...good luck.

I pushed the knob onto the metal dryer piece. It was repaired in less than 10 seconds. Also I was very impressed by the fact that I ordered the part on Thurday morning and I had the part the very next day. I am a happy customer and will recommend parts select.com to others

doo handle snapped in place an replced screws that were missing

Vacuumed lint and inserted new filter.

Taking off front of and top of dryer and panels on the back. Releasing the belt and taking out the tube un screwing the two pieces off the back of the machine putting new ones in and putting belt back around drum and setting drum in. Then holding drum while the front is put back on then attach top and a couple panels on the back.

Tested dryer, job done!

You simply pry the old handle off with a flathead screwdriver, and then line up the new handle and snap it into place. It took less than 30 seconds! A breeze.

did exactly like the video in five minutes dryer up n working nice way to go love the site

Just pushed the knob on to the metal on-off control,

so easy my daughter installed it the video was very helpful

knob was delivered and i just put it on and it worked. very easy and less expensive than a service call.

With drum not turning, I removed rear access panel and confirmed that the belt was missing from the motor pulley. The instructional video provided by PS was extremely helpful. It made the job simple. Removal of drum thru front frame was the most difficult part which was relatively easy. Once the front panel and drum were removed, I could then see that the front drum top glide nylon/felt strip needed replacing which I then obtained.

Opened top and screwed the front off. Put belt around drum. It took two times as my sweet husband put the belt on backwards the first time.

I youtube'd the repair, and repaired it! While I was at it I replaced the belt! (Highly recommend replacing the belt while you are replacing the element!) Was a snap!
