My Frigidaire Affinity dryer (mod# AEQ6000ES2) turns on but drum will only turn for a few seconds then stop. What could be the problem and can I fix this myself?

Take a look at this web page/video. Your problem may be that the thermal limiter switch blew (which is not that easy to replace) .... compared to something in the control panel going out. Had you been doing a lot of heavy dryer loads before the unit died .. or a lot of lint built up? A blown limiter switch in some dryers will be as if you unplugged it (nothing goes on) ... but some dryers will still turn the drum but not heat. I am not sure about your unit.
The limiter switch is a safety device so your dryer does not overheat .... so if the switch did blow try to understand WHY .... or it may just blow again.
Good luck...

Hey tim bryant, thanks for your post!
I understand that you have installed a new board inside of your Frigidaire dryer, AEQ6000ES2, and on the new board the lights blink. I would recommend a reset on your appliance which can be done by disconnecting the power to it for roughly ten minutes. If that step does not correct the issue I would seek professional assistance for the repair of your dryer. I hope that is helpful. -Matt

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

Hi Cyndy s

I have the Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer. A few weeks ago my Washer door switch went out I changes that with no problem. Now the Dryer has just stop quit working. Here are the symptoms on the ; 1>it's plug up and the power is fine 2> there is no errors on the panel 3> control operate fine. 4> close the door, set the controls, press start, No spinning. 5> when you press start you hear a buzzing sound for about 5 seconds, then nothing... Is it over for the dryer I bought 3 years with out extended warranty, or is the a simple fix? Thanks, Rob...

sounds like your heating element opened up,as it was running and when the element broke it arced and these were the sparks you saw,you will need a new heater element

I have the same problem. Does anyone have an answer?

All this is doing is letting you know that the Auto dry sensors are kicked in and checking to see how dry the clothing is.

the thermistor in air outlet duct is very common for these. with front panel off find plastic duct from blower at bottom. pull out thermistor and look at inner side. it has triangular shape and if you can see shiny redish color at tip instead of all black then its worn. this causes numerous heat and control issues.
