How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing heater components.

  • Access heater assembly: Remove the rear panel and locate the heater housing and attached thermostats.
  • Check wiring: Inspect heater terminals and wires for burns or loose connections. Repair as needed.
  • Test heater and safety devices: With a multimeter, check continuity of the heater element, high-limit thermostat, and any thermal fuse. Replace any open components with Frigidaire-approved parts.
  • Inspect control board: If all heater components test good but no voltage is supplied to the heater during dry, the main control board or heater relay may be faulty and require replacement.
