If control has been replaced, possible that the overheating damaged the burner itself - try replacing it or swapping it with another known good burner from your stove. If replacement burner works then original burner is bogus.

You need to replace the thermal fuse and the timer. A bad timer will over draw a thermal fuse and cause it to blow.

Please remember to unplug the dryer before servicing

SOURCE: Dryer does not heat up. MOD TEDS840pq1, Electric

Ist thing to check on a dryer not heating is the voltage at the outlet. Make sure you have 220/240 volts. The dryer can run on 110/120 volts but won't heat. This can be from a bad breaker/blown fuse. On your dryer it is most likely the thermal fuse on the heater housing or possibly the element itself. If you have a voltmeter you can check each for continuity. The thermal fuse is a smaller thermostat at the top of the heater housing.

SOURCE: Heat will not stay on

Hi, very common problem.

The problem is with the gas coils.
When they get weak, they only come on for about 10 minutes and then the machine will blow cold air. There are 2 of them with one being the booster coil. They come in a pair and run less than $20.

Best of luck. Please e-mail me if you have any other questions.

4-temp sw.
5- electronic control.

I don't know anything about dryers so please bear with me. My dryer drum turns, fan blows, but wont heat. replaced heating element. Still no heat. Has 124 volts on both prongs of element. What should i do?...

Have you tried flipping the breakers @ your electrical box? Mine will do that at time when one breaker has tripped. It will have enough juice to run it but not heat it. IF that doesn't work there may be a broken wire to the heating element or possibly even a faulty heating element. I'd try the breakers first though.(Im not a professional I've just been a single mom for 18 years and have found myself working on all sorts of things and gaining knowledge from hands on experience) Hope it helps & works.

One burner will not spark for ignition.

The spark mod. needs to be replaced again. Check and make sure that the wires are connected to it good though and that they have a good connection. If all looks well though you will most likely need to replace that spark mod. again. Let me know if you have any other questions and if this was helpful. Good luck.

How do you replace a burner switch on a Frigedaire Glasstop Stove

Hello,

The repair on this stove will be relatively easy then. All you are going to have to do is pull out the stove from the wall and remove the upper part of the back panel where the burner switches are.

Remove the knob and take out the screws that hold the switch to that front panel. Then from there just match up the wires to the new switch off the old one.

This repair will turn out to be pretty cut and dry for you. If you have anymore questions please ask.

Thanks Again,
Bill
