Why is my Frigidaire Affinity dryer showing E71 after I replaced the heating element

SOUNDS LIKE FAULTY THERMOSTAT / REGULATOR FOR HEATER ELEMENT, COMMON PROBLEM IN DRYERS

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire Affinity dryer not heating up. There are some things that you are able to try. First check to make sure that the lint filter, the ducting, and the outside vent, are clear of lint and not constricted in any way. Second, reset your appliance by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker for 3-5 minutes. Once power has been restored, run any cycle. If you are still noticing that your dryer is not heating, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They should be able to diagnose your dryer and determine why your appliance is not heating. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

did the original element bad? you probably replace the wrong part for the problem. check your coils, there's two of them right in front of the element.

Are you sure you have 240V going to the dryer?

If the unit still works, it just does not dry, please have a professional diagnose the heating element and the blower assembly. Either, or, could be faulty at this time. This is not a typical DIY job so please consult a professional.

check your heating element or the thermal fuses located on the back wall the side of the heating element can and the plastic blower ducting

Sounds like the problem is an open high-heat thermal limit switch (some call it a thermostat). It, along with some others, is in the heating element circuit in the back bottom of the dryer.

More info, let me know...

you have a problem with the heat you can't just say it's the element or thermistor you have to unplug it,take it apart and get in there with a meter and check all the t-stats,element thermistor,if they check good you could have a bad computer board but hopefully it will be the element but if you just bought it the dryer is still under warranty for the first year so either call whoever you bought it from or the 800 number off of the machine
