FSE849GHS0 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

Pulled old knob off and replaced with new knob. The hardest part of the repair was finding the part and partselect made that easy as well.

I opened the envelope that was waiting on the porch when I got home from work, opened it up, and pushed it on the shaft. It fit like a glove and looks more durable than the old one was. She'll never know I broke it. :)

Got the proper part and it worked great

From opening the mailed package to complete installation of 3 knows took about 3 minutes total time very easy to order on you web site and the product came in so fast I thought that you were still processing the paperwork. Thanks keep it the services.

replaced the knob. The key was the photos. It was celar that the part you had was the one I needed beacuse the phots were clear and with enough angles to assure me I was orederig what I needed.

I grabbed the new knob I ordered from Partselect.com with my right hand, aligned it, and put it on. Works like a charm!

I had my landscape guy, who volunteered to look at the dryer since he's also an electrician, come in and take a quick look. he turned the knob, pulled it off and told me the inside was cracked so it would not grab the turn mechanism. Who knew? I got the model number from the dryer door, checked in on the internet for Fridgedaire parts, found Partselect.com, ordered part, came next day, knob fits, dryer works. end of story. THANK U!!!

just unplugged the old one, plugged in the new made sure it worked and put it back together.

first i had a helper my 9 year old son. we came to this site and read a repair report and we used that to go by.once again my 9year old.

Removed obvious screws to the vent etc. Then had a little trouble getting the cabinet open. My only problem was getting the front top panel off. A clip about 2" from either side at the top needs to be pushed in with a flat head screwdriver to release the top. Other than that the task was pretty straight forward. Two sets of wires to the heater itself. Used pliers to help pull them loose.

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.

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.

Dismantled the dryer to determine that the belt was broken. Called a local supply outlet to request a belt. They said they couldn't find one. Did an online search and found Part Select. Called with the model number and within three days the part was delivered. Replaced the belt and the dryer was working within an hour. Hardest part was getting the dryer out of the laundry room. I would certainly call PartSelect again if I needed a part.

I popped the dryer lid open by pressing on two latches with the flat putty knife. I found that I really needed another set of hands, so my son helped me with this project. I had to disassemble the front panel by unscrewing 2 screws on the sides and also 2 screws around the dryer timer knob, after removing all knobs. Also, I had to pry apart 2 of the front pieces because they are clipped together with plastic latches. I unhooked two wires from the starter switch and then gave a half twist to remove it from the opening. Once that was removed, I just replaced it with the new part and put everything back together in reverse order. I did test the dryer before putting back together, but make sure you unplug it again while assembling. I forgot and two wires touched and there was a big spark and popping noise. Fortunately, nothing was blown out and no one was shocked I had absolutely no experience with anything like this but found this website to be a huge help. I figured everything out just be looking at the diagrams and some other notes on-line. Thanks!

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.
