GLGQ642CAS1 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

I removed all but one screw on the back of the control panel and slid the panel down and to the left. Then I jiggled and turned the start switch box out of the slot, unplugged it, plugged in the new switch, and put it back in the slot turning slightly to tighten into place. I replaced the screws and the repair was complete!

Removed burner, unpluged 2 plugs on coils. Removed 2 screws, replaced coils, pluged 2 plugs to coils replaced 2 screws. Reinstaled burner. Dryer works great.

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.

Unplugged the electricity, turned off the gas, then pop open the top of the dryer. Removed the two screws and pulled the front of the dryer off. Removed the two screws that locked down the two m series ignition coils. Put it back together and all things worked great.

Removed top and front of dryer and rear panel. Installed belt and new idler pulley. Reinstalled top and front panel and rear panel. Dryer worked great.

Simply pulled the old knobs off & put the new ones on.

It is disappointing that the knobs cracked at all. I guess all the repair guys who've come out since our kitchen remodel are right - nothing lasts anymore & expect a repair within 5 yrs.

I ordered on a Monday & the knobs were delivered the next day, even though I chose only standard shipping. I was very, very pleased with PartSelect.com.

Very easy, slipped the old one off and placed the new one on

This was the greatest part ordering experience I think I have ever encountered.

No problems with ordering, arrived on time and works beautifully.

Removed the timer know and inserted the new one in its place. less than one minute work.

Excellent response and fast delivery from Parts Select.

Will use again, if necessary.

I tested continuity on parts like burner (ok) then on solenoids (not ok) timer (ok) I visited several websites and found the AppliancePartsPros.com site with FREE repair forum and found valuable advice. Then ordered my parts at Parts Select and were delivered 3 later at my front door.
Now a days you almost can forget to work on all the electronics in a wasmachine and dryer, unless you're a electronic guru.
THks.

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.

well guys replacing the knob was no big deal, but i initially thought that the timer was bad. i jumped the gun and ordered the timer on a wednesday and discovered on thursday upon further investagation that the back of the dial shaft was cracked creating the whole problem, so i ordered that and everything is fine once installed (& the timer is on the way back). my advice is check thoroughly and order once, you get less laughter from your wife on this one. thanx mcsgt(robert)

Purchased new knob and put in place this company was great received with a day or two

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 simply put new knob on the little metal post where it belonged. Simple as pie.

i order the part on line came within 2 day push on knob that easy.
