Where is the heating element located on Frigidaire FEX831FOS

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

No, not normally, it comes as a unit and this is standard procedure. If it is failing in three years, you have an airflow issue which is causing overheating.

Check the heater,thermostats,motor switch. Make sure the power is reading 240 volts

No fuses. Probably Heating element or one of the thermal switches. Electric dryer I am assuming

Good Afternoon JOES, thanks for your post!

I understand that you want to change the heating element on the inside of your Frigidaire range. In order to research and provide you accurate information I would need your model number. You can locate the model number on your serial tag which is located on the frame behind the lower drawer. With that information I can better assist you. -Matt

Good morning friend, thank you for your post!

I see you are trying to change the heating element on your Frigidaire Crown dryer. I am unable to locate any video to assist in this replacement but I would advise that these intricate parts do require precision and patience, therefore when replacing the exchange of electrical components or removing them from your appliance, I always suggest seeking professional assistance. One must be very careful as these replacements can lead to potential harm. -Matt

Ok, you can confirm element failuer by testing for continuity with a Ohm meter. A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

You can usually tell when the element itself burns out. It might have small holes or bubbles on the coil. Replace the element, if found defective.


Another reason, why the elements would not start, might be a defective infinite switch (located behind the control panel, with the burner knob on its shaft). Replace the switch if found defective.

If the elements show continuity, you will need to replace the entire control board(clock, EOC)..

If you dryer lint screen is located at the top of your dryer your heating element is going to located at the rear of your dryer. You will need to remove the back of the dryer to get to it. You will see a housing and the element is located in there. If you lint screen is located in the door when you open the door then your heating element is located in the front. This one is easier to get to. Simply remove the bottom panel under the door and you will see the heating element right at the front on the right hand side. Make sure you unplug the dryer before working on it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and also please let me know if this was helpful for you. Good luck and glad to help.

Hello spirit817. Unplug the 220v, remove the back panel, locate your heating element, check the wiring connections to the element. DVM or ohm your element for continunity. If open research your local electrical applance store for the replacement. If not the element check your thermostats located in the air drafts with the meter.
