A dryer that runs but does not heat up is a common problem and one that is easy to diagnose and repair. The heating circuit of a Frigidaire dryer consists of a heating element, a high-limit thermostat, a thermal fuse and an operating thermostat. Many dryers require the removal of the dryer's rear panel to access these thermostats; however, with a Frigidaire dryer, you need only to open the top panel by releasing the two spring catches at the front right and left corners. To release the catches, push them toward the rear of the dryer, using a putty knife. To test the high-limit thermostat, operating thermostat and heating element, use a digital multimeter set to its 'R X 1' or “Continuity” function.
To test a thermostat, remove the wires from one of the connectors and one of the meter's probes to each of the connectors. A good thermostat will display a “0.000” on the meter's LCD.
A defective thermostat will display a “O.L.” on the LCD, indicating no continuity. To test the heating element, remove the wires from its terminals and test between the terminals, using the digital multimeter. A good heating element will display a resistance of 10 to 20 Ohms on the meter's LCD. Like the thermostats, a bad heating element will display a “O.L.” on the LCD screen.
The thermal fuse is a safety fuse that opens when the high-limit safety thermostat fails to open. Test the thermal fuse the same as a thermostat.
