GSGQ642AS2 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

I unplugged the dryer and then removed the top sheet metal cover with a nutdriver. I removed old timer with a phillips #2 screwdriver. I drew a diagram showing which color wires were connected to each point on the old timer. I unplugged the wires (a needle nose plier was needed for some of the tighter connectors) from the old timer and then connected the new timer. The whole repair would have been less than 30 minutes, but I dropped a screw into the open dryer. I had to remove the front sheet metal to retrieve the screw. This was the only annoying part and probably doubled the repair time, but even this was not too hard. I hate this dryer and will never buy another Fridigaire appliance, but I am happy with the quick service of PartSelect.com. It was faster and a lot cheaper for me to buy the part and do it myself instead of scheduling a repair.

after numerous holes put in my families clothes i looked on line and found "partselect.com". i ordered the front drum glide after seeing a similar story about the clothes being torn and getting caught and my family and i have our new dryer back!! yeah :<)

The knob split by the shaft. Quick and easy I ordered the exact part from Part-Select, it in 2 days and pushed on the new knob with my fingers.

It was quite easy thanks to Part-Select. You can be sure I will use them again!

Pushed the new knob on to the stem -AWESOME!

Remove top panel with large flat screwdriver and 2 screws in back.Remove bottom panel with 2 screws.Release belt tensioner and remove belt.Remove 3 screws in center of drum inside.Remove drum. Remove rear bearing by pulling up on assembly.Replace all parts in reverse order.

Popped in the new door catch! Tightened the hinge screws( which work loose and allow the door to droop. The reason the catch broke!) Also put red Loctite on the screws in an attempt to keep them from backing out again! Working great so far!!!

1. unplug the dryer, remove the aluminum vent and move it to an area that has a lot of elbow room.
2. remove the top lid with a flat screwdriver. It seems that the top lid was being held by 2 metal clips on each end.
3. on the right hand side removed the 2 wires from the front face of the dryer. this is the switch for the open door sensor. remember which wire goes where.
4. the on the left and right side will be one screw and one metal clip, unscrew and pop the front panel with a flat screwdriver.
5. in front of the drum remove the plastic clip that is used as a guide for the drum to be in place.
6. look in the drum and there is 3 screws that form a triangle shape. remove the screws.
7. remove the belt from the drum. inspect the belt. replace if necessary.
8. lift up and pull out the drum.
9. remove the rear drum assembly and replace it with the new parts.
10. repeat in reverse and your done.
It took me 40 minutes the first time i replaced the rear drum assembly then i forgot to hook the belt up correctly and i unassemble the unit in 5 minutes fix the belt and assemble the unit in 5 more minutes. Now the wife is happy.

The repair requires the front panel to be removed. First remove the top by removing two screws in the back of the top panel. Once the top is removed, you have access to all of fasteners for the front panel. I removed the control panel to give myself more room. Simply remove the wire connectors on the panel and two connectors in the upper right of the cabinet. There are four screws that hold the front panel on, two on the inside about a third from the top and two more on the outside at the very bottom. Once the screws are removed, pry the front panel from the machine since there are spring clips holding the panel to the machine. Once the front panel is removed, you have access to the guides and the felts.

Took top off dryer which made easy access to switch and change part ,put it back together thanks

Replaced rear drum bearing, drum support bearing & drum belt. Still very noisy. Will order new motor & see if that does the trick.

Simply popped it back into place, careful not to break the new handle.

Just put on the new knob! Supper easy and it works great!

Took it out of the bag and put it on.

Just replaced the new lint filter with the old lint filter. The part fit perfectly. I did not have a problem.

All I had to do was line the "D" shaft up with the "D" metal shaft on the Dryer and push the knob on. I made sure it would turn properly, and turned the Dryer on the make sure it worked. All is good.
