Turns on, no heat, stopas after about 5 mins and all lights start blinking.

I have a Frigidaire Affinity Gas dryer Model # FAQE7001LWO. It was made 02/2012. The cycle will start for about 5-7 mins once started and then it shuts off and all lights on the unit start blinking. There also doesn't seem to be any heat blowing when the unit does come on for the first 5-7 mins. Please Help!

Good Afternoon Amanda,

I understand that your Frigidaire Affinity dryer, model# FAQE7001LW, is not heating as well as only running about 5-7 minutes of the cycle before shutting off. There are a couple things to check.

    1)The gas supply valve is not open. Check to make sure that the gas valve is open.
    2)The dryer does not have enough air supply to support the burner flame. Check with your local gas company to make sure that your dryer is installed correctly.
    3)There is a possibility that your LP gas supply tank is empty or there has been a utility interruption of natural gas. Try refilling or replacing the tank.
    If you are still having trouble with your dryer, I suggest giving it a hard reset, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker for 3-5 minutes. When power is restored, start any cycle. If you are still noticing that there is no heat and it stops 5-7 minutes into the cycle, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician. Hope this is helpful.

    -Best Regards-

There is something in the control panel that is sending a trouble signal. Your manual should tell you about this. Have you had this very long? It may be under warranty.

I have a Frigidaire Affinity electric dryer Model # FAQE7001LWO. . The cycle will start for about 5-7 mins once started and then it shuts off and all lights on the unit start blinking. Please Help!

Google your model number and how to retrieve the error codes. It sounds like either the heating coil or control board is bad. I have a different model that does the very same thing...they run until the cycle tried to turn the heat on then it causes an error. In my case it is the control panel and I decided since mine is old and we are a family 6 (lots of use in it) not to repair it.

How to get the error code test on Frigidaire affinity model FARE1011MW

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand you are receiving an error code on your Frigidaire dryer, model# FARE1011MW. I see that when you press the start button, your dryer beeps and the drying light begins flashing. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Sometimes there can be a miscommunication between the different boards inside your appliance. Restore power and start any cycle. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Not heating

This may require several trouble-shooting steps. First, it sounds as if the gas is turned on and ignited. It also, sounds as if the motor/blower is not rotating. Check the motor continuity, the electrical supply to the motor, and whether the motor (with electricity turned off) rotates by hand freely.

My affinity electric dryer shuts off after a few minutes, isn't heating, and blinks EA4

That means that the ignitor is most likely failing to start the process to ignite the gas. The ignitor is like a light bulb and can burn out.

Problems with frigidaire affinity dryer model gle02152es1.

Hello ljdixon226 - From what you have described the unit could possibly have a communication problem with the control panel. However, if the unit is not producing any heat please have a professional diagnose the heating element and the blower assembly as well. Either, or, could be faulty at this time. This is not a typical DIY job so please consult a professional.
