Hi there,

Well you can please follow the below steps -
1. Locate the shutoff valve for the gas line behind the dryer, and turn the valve one-quarter turn by hand until the gas supply is closed off to the appliance.
2. Unplug the electrical cord of the gas dryer from the outlet.
3. Take the lint screen out of the lint screen slot on the top of the dryer, and unfasten the screws that are inside the slot with a screwdriver.
4. Place a putty knife between the top and the front panel at both corners, and lift up to disengage the plastic clips.
5. Lift up on the dryer top, flipping it toward the back of the dryer, and lean it against the wall.
6. Locate the screws inside the top of the dryer behind the front panel, and unfasten them with a screwdriver.
7. Slide the front panel forward and up to release it from the clips at the bottom of the panel, and unfasten the electrical wiring connector from behind the front panel by hand.
8. Place the front panel out of the way, and unfasten the screws on the shroud cover inside the dryer cabinet with a screwdriver, removing the cover from the cabinet.

Disconnect power before working on this dryer.

Place putty knife in the seam between the top and front panel about 2” in from either side. Push in on clip while pulling control panel forward and tilting putty knife handle up, all at the same time. Same on opposite side. Raise top all the way.

Looking down inside dryer on left and right see a screw about 6 inches down. Remove each side while holding front panel in place. Pull top of front panel about 3 inches forward from sides and then pull up. This will disengage the front panel from lower pressure clips and allow you to turn it sideways and expose the dryer interior.

Reverse the process above to reassemble.

Service on gas appliances should be undertaken by professionals only due to the danger of gas leakage which can cause fires or death by asphyxiation.

If the terminal is 5/16 it needs to be 5/16. The reason is that it passes the correct resistance. The smaller the contact, the more resistance and heat. You may be okay with a 5/16 connector in 250'F and that is probably the best option. However, I would image that any local wholesale electrical wholesaler would carry them. https://www.google.com/search?q=5%2F16+high+temperature+spade+terminal Nedco and CES are my go-to wholesalers https://www.google.com/search?q=electrical+wholesaler+near+me ..

Help in the link which also refers to the thermal limiter. It is a gas appliance and should be only serviced by a certified and registered gas technician. https://www.google.com/search?q=Frigidaire+Affinity+Door+Open ..

It is a gas appliance so has to be worked on by a gas certified technician. Call for service. That is the law. ..

To put your Frigidaire Dryer FEQ1442ES0 into diagnostic mode, follow these steps:

1. Hold down the Select and Cancel buttons at the same time for six seconds. After one buzzer sound, the two keys will be released.
2. Press and hold the Select and Cancel keys for six seconds right away. The display will indicate "r 2" when the buzzer sounds once.

Once you've put your dryer in diagnostic mode, you may run the diagnostic test to find any problems. You can consult your dryer's operating instructions booklet if you require any more help. I hope this is useful.

Good Afternoon Friend, this is Z. Thank you for your post! If you are receiving an error code E61 on your Frigidaire Affinity dryer, first check if it is a false error code by resetting the power to your appliance by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker for about ten minutes. If the error code persists, it could potentially mean that your dryer is experiencing a failure with the heater relay. This is not a typical DIY job. I would recommend reaching out to an experienced appliance tech just to ensure no troubleshooting step has been missed. You can often locate a qualified service provider through the manufacturer website. Best regards.
