broken knob due to hard-to-turn timer
1. Unplug or disconnect power. 2. Remove dryer top and knob My top was an undercounter so I removed only the four 1/4 inch head screws. 3. Unscrew, from the front, the two timer screws. 3a. Compare the new unit with the old to be sure the new part is the proper replacement part. Mine was.

Rotate the timer body and remove the other wires. 7. Assembly is the reverse. Be sure to refer to your drawing of the electrical wire connections.
I spent around two hours on the project though, replacing duct tape with aluminum tape on the 4" exhaust pipe connection, vacuuming lint, cleaning the dryer etc. But the actual replacement of the timer was quick and easy.
1) Disconnect dryer from power. 2) Use a large standard screwdiver to push in 2 clips on the front side of the dryer between the main body and hood. Hood then lifts up on hinges mounted in the back. Secure hood. 3) Pull off timer knob and remove 2 screws. 4) Write down the color sequence of wires attached to old timer.

The timer would not shut off.
Removed back of the control panel. Removed 2 screws unplugged the wires. Plugged wires into the new timer, put the back cover on. Worked great. The repair man was going to charge us twice the cost of the part ($150) plus labor. He even recommended buying a new dryer rather then putting the money into fixing this one!

Dryer was not heating in some modes and timer was "sticky"
I unplugged the dryer and then removed the top sheet metal cover with a nutdriver. I removed old timer with a phillips #2 screwdriver. I drew a diagram showing which color wires were connected to each point on the old timer. I unplugged the wires (a needle nose plier was needed for some of the tighter connectors) from the old timer and t

I had to remove the front sheet metal to retrieve the screw. This was the only annoying part and probably doubled the repair time, but even this was not too hard. I hate this dryer and will never buy another Fridigaire appliance, but I am happy with the quick service of PartSelect.com. It was faster and a lot cheaper for me to buy the part and do it myself instead of scheduling a repair.
After opening the lid, I used a can of compressed air to clear out the area of the timer. I transfered as many wires as I could while the timer was in it's original place, then when I could'nt reach any more I removed the old unit and did it one by one. It's quite a simple task if you don't get ahead of yourself, and pay attention. Having

Dryer stopped a few times in the cycle and waiting for a period of time. I was able to start it again now it does not seem to start at all. What part do you think needs replacing? I read if the timer is bad it will not shut off, I thought I would replace the timer at $150+ but now I do no know. Thanks

Hi Wayne, Thank you for the question. I suggest starting with the Thermal Limiter,PartSelect Number PS419402.The dryer thermal limiter, also known as a thermal fuse, blows the fuse to cut off power to the dryer when the dryer begins to overheat. Once the dryer reached 220 degrees Fahrenheit, the heat cuts out. If the thermal fuse is defective, damaged, or blown up then the dryer wont start, especially since it cannot be reset. It must be replaced. Hope this helps!

What is the correct mounting orientation of timer part Frigidaire 131930600? There is no keying to indicate which of 4 possible rotational positions for mounting on the front panel. I forgot to note the position of the original part before removing it.
For model number GLER642AS3
Hi Pete, Thank you for your question. If you look at the back of your timer where the motor is, there is a tear drop shape, the tip should be pointing upward. The sticker on the part should be oriented as the top. The S prong should be at the top position as well. I hope that helps! Good luck with your repair.
