Frigidaire Laundry Center (top load) dryer stopped working

I have the Frigidaire FEX831C Laundry Center (electric/top load) and just the other night after finishing a load of laundry, I went to tumble my clothes in the dryer to get wrinkles out and the dryer would not turn on, and still will not. I thought maybe the circuit breaker in our house had popped but after resetting all of the switches it still will not work. The washer, however, does work. It will wash a full load of laundry from beginning to end. I thought maybe there was no power getting to it, but then realized that the washer and dryer share the same power source and power cord. Is there a circuit breaker inside of the dryer that may have popped?

How do I replace the dryer belt?

Hello Philip, I appreciate your inquiry!

Based off the information you have provided you need help with replacing the belt on your Frigidaire laundry center. In order to access the pulley you would need to disassemble the laundry center. I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional technician for proper disassembly of your laundry center. Incorrect disassembly could cause personal harm or future issues within the laundry center. Best of luck! -Matt

How to reseat the dryer on a fgx831cs dryer

Hi Amy, this is AP!

I understand you want to reset your Frigidaire gas laundry center, model FGX831CS. For this particular model laundry center I would recommend turning the breaker to the appliance off for 5-6 minutes, and then turn the breaker back on. This action will reset the laundry center completely for you. If you can provide additional information describing the malfunction or symptoms you are experiencing with your laundry center I may be able to provide more useful troubleshooting or an explanation.

Thanks,

Dryer is making a high pitch squeak, sounds like a rusty swing. possible bearings

You probably have dry bearings from all the heat over the years. Unplug the unit and remove the back to expose the bearing and shaft. Using a light oil such as 3-in-1 squirt oil into the bearing and let it soak in. Do this several times and keep a rag under the bearing to catch any excess oil. Odds are that with a little lubricant the dryer will quiet down and work fine for many more years. This would also be a good time to clean any lint and dust bunnies out of the unit. Reassemble and test. You should be good to go. Let me know if I can be of anymore help.
