Missing power cable cover/damaged terminal block
While changing power cable from 3 prong to 4 prong connection on a recently purchased used dryer I found the terminal block partially melted due to improper connectors which overheated. The bracket and cover were also missing which presented a shock hazard for anyone touching the exposed connections and there was no way to connect the str

I disconnected the old 3 prong cable, removed the old terminal block, installed the new terminal block (required opening the dryer top for access), threaded power cable through bracket and fastened with strain relief leaving loose, attached the neutral/ground wires to middle terminal connection point, red to red wire in terminal block and black to black wire also in terminal block and tightened bracket and added cover.
Used nut driver to remove screw and cover from dryer cord terminal block, used screw driver to remove two screws securing old terminal block, cut dammaged wire and stripped wire back and crimped on new terminal connecter, replaced old terminal block with new one, replaced two screws, installed new cord, and replaced cover plate and screw.

My dryer will not start. I have replaced the starter switch and the switch button in the door. I also purchased a thermal block kit partselect number ps419369
Manufacturer part number 134101400
Manufactured by Frigidaire does this kit work for a gas dryer? If so, where is it located?
For model number FGRB7800DS0
Hi John,
Thank you for the question. The PS419369 is the correct block for this Gas appliance. The block on this appliance looks to be on the back of the appliance in the top corner.
Hope this helps!

My dryer will start for about 10 seconds and then turns off. It does spin and it is very loud. Sometimes it doesn't start when clicking the start button and i have to turn the knob multiple times in order to get it to turn on again. Do these sound like symptoms that could be solved with this part? Thanks!
For model number FEX831FS2
Hi Carter,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is not tumbling, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the belts, the idler pulley and the motor. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My dryer will run for about 2 minutes then it starts to make a really loud noise and gets extremely hot. I have made sure that there is good airflow and the dryers completely clean

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is getting too hot, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the thermal limiter, the high limit thermostat, the heating element assembly, the thermostat - 4 terminal - L135-15F and the drum belt. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
