Hi troy crawford,

Well if it beeps for 3 times and then shut off when you press start it means that the dryer thinks that dryer door is open. You will have to replace your door switch to fix the problem. or you can also try closing the door normally, then firmly press on the top edge of the door. You will hear the final latch grab, then you press and hold the start button. many time it will works...

Good Luck

Regards

Warning! To avoid personal injury or even death, always disconnect your appliance from its power source--that is, unplug it or break the connection at the circuit breaker or fuse box--before you do any troubleshooting or repair work on your appliance. Also, because some components may have sharp edges, use caution while working on your appliance.

Electric dryers aren't very complicated. Here are some common symptoms that you may experience with your dryer:

There's an error code on the digital display

It doesn't work at all
There's no heat
It won't tumble
Drying is too slow
It overheats
It seems to run forever
It's noisy
It won't start
The light doesn't work
It blows fuses or trips the circuit breaker
My clothes smell bad!
My clothes are marked or torn

2009G37. After you exit the car it beep beeps about every 5 sec and continues for several minutes. Dealer has turned it off before. Seems like the tech just pushed some buttons on key fob to stop it.

You should check out www.reliable-store.com they have info on repair, service, wiring diagram, electrical diagram, fuse diagram, troubleshooting, PCV, owner's/service/repair/parts manual, fault codes, error codes, etc everything on all vehicles. must check it out

Affinity electric. Why does it run for about 10-15 mins, then stop?

Hello Brandy, thank you for your inquiry!
From the information you have provided your Frigidaire dryer runs for 10-15 minutes and then it will stop. The error code you have provided might be a miscommunication within your dryer. I would recommend performing a reset on your dryer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for at least ten minutes. If the reset does not help correct your issue it could be a possible problem with your control panel or wiring harness. In order to pinpoint which component might be causing the issue I would recommend contacting a professional technician for a proper diagnosis. Hopefully this information is helpful to you. -Matt

HOW do I get rid of a code on my dryer or is it EL8,what part repairs this code.

Good Afternoon Butchie111, thank you for your post!

From the information you have provided your Frigidaire dryer is displaying an error code of "EL8" and it will run for 30 seconds then beep the code. I am showing that "EL8" is an invalid code. It could be a possible miscommunication error so I would suggest performing a reset on your dryer and you can do that by disconnecting power from your dryer for roughly ten minutes. If that does not help your issue could you please provide me with the new error code or inform me if your dryer still displays "EL8"? I look forward to your response. -Matt

Frigidaire Gallery model GLEQ2170KSO dryer turns off within a minute.

Hello allisonarena - Try reprogramming the dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and then turn on the unit. If issue persists, then the dryer may possibly be experiencing more serious issues such as; wiring failure, faulty control board, thermal limiter, or defective door switch. I would recommend connecting with an experienced appliance repair tech to assist further and to reduce the risk of unnecessary parts.

Whirlpool Duet dryer time skips mins.

clean the stainless steel sensor pads located just inside the dryer door with isopropyl alcohol,these sensors register moisture in the garments and adjust drying times accordingly,when you use dryer fabric softener sheets it coats these sensors and throws the system off,make sure to shut off power to unit as this alcohol is very flammable,then leave door open to air out before re-powering up unit

Whirlpool Dryer LGR7646EQ3 - Auto Dry is not working

I went over the part list and I didnt see a sensor, if it is there it will be two silver wire bars either on the back bulk head or at front right just below the door, possibly your timer has gone south too.
The only item I saw was a dryer cycling thermostat that shuts off heat when a certain temp is reached, here is a link;
