Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire dryer model AGQ8000FS2, looking up parts by the full model number is the most reliable way to match the correct replacement part because it filters results to components that fit your exact dryer configuration.
We recommend using the model number from the dryer’s data tag (not the number on a receipt). Common locations include:
- Inside the dryer door opening on the cabinet frame
- On the door itself (edge or inner panel)
- On the rear panel of the dryer
- Near the lower front access area (varies by design)
For model-specific identification tips and diagrams, use the AGQ8000FS2 owner’s manual.
When you search by AGQ8000FS2, you can narrow parts by symptom or by section (drum, door, controls, heat system). This helps you avoid ordering a similar-looking part that does not fit.
- Enter the full model number exactly as shown on the tag
- Match the part by name and ID, not just by appearance
- Compare your symptom to common wear items (belt, bearing, thermistor)
- Confirm gas vs. electric details before ordering (this model family can have variations)
- Use the exploded-view style listings to verify where the part installs
These are typical wear or failure items for many Frigidaire dryers:
| Symptom | Common part type | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Drum not turning | Drum belt | Frigidaire dryer drum belt 134503600 |
| Squealing or rumbling | Drum bearing components | Dryer drum bearing kit, drum bearing, glides |
| Overheating or no heat events | Temperature safety/control | Thermal limiter, thermistor |
Dryer parts often look interchangeable, but small differences (mounting points, wiring connectors, drum size, gas valve setup) can cause poor fit or unsafe operation. Searching by AGQ8000FS2 keeps the match tight and reduces returns.

How much is a control board for a Frigidaire dryer?
For the Frigidaire AGQ8000FS2 dryer, a replacement electronic control board typically costs about $150 to $250, depending on the exact board version and availability. Pricing can vary by supplier and whether the board is new or refurbished; confirm the correct part by matching your model and wiring layout in the AGQ8000FS2 owner’s manual.
Before buying a board, we recommend ruling out common issues that can mimic a bad control.
- Verify the dryer has the correct power supply and is properly grounded.
- Check for loose or damaged wire connections at the control and harness.
- Look for heat-related failures that can trigger shutdowns (restricted venting, overheating).
- If the dryer is gas and the burner shuts off, follow the restart timing guidance in the installation instructions.
- If the dryer shows an error, use the Frigidaire dryer error codes reference to narrow the failure.
Sometimes a lower-cost part solves the symptom (no heat, stops mid-cycle, won’t start) without replacing the board.
| Symptom | Often caused by | Example part for AGQ8000FS2 |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but no heat (gas) | Ignition or gas valve coil issue | Coil-seconda 5303931775 |
| Overheats or shuts down | Airflow restriction or safety limit open | Thermal limiter 137032600 |
| Long dry times | Low voltage (208V), vent restriction, sensor issue | Dryer thermistor 134587700 |
Control boards are one of the higher-cost dryer parts, and misdiagnosis is common. Confirming power, wiring integrity, airflow, and any stored error codes helps ensure you replace the right component the first time.

Is Frigidaire a good brand for dryers?
Yes. Frigidaire dryers, including the Frigidaire AGQ8000FS2, are a solid choice for dependable everyday drying, straightforward controls, and widely available replacement parts. Long-term satisfaction still depends on correct installation, safe venting, and routine lint and exhaust maintenance.
A dryer brand is “good” when it delivers consistent heat and airflow, runs smoothly, and is serviceable over time. For AGQ8000FS2 owners, that comes down to a few practical factors:
- Proper gas supply setup and safe exhaust routing
- Stable drum support (bearings, glides, felt seals)
- Reliable temperature sensing and overheat protection
- Easy access to common wear parts when repairs are needed
For model-specific operating and safety guidance, use the AGQ8000FS2 owner's manual.
Most “dryer problems” are airflow or wear-item issues, not the brand itself. We recommend:
- Clean the lint screen before every load
- Inspect and clean the exhaust duct regularly (crushed or long ducts slow drying)
- Avoid overloading; it strains the drum belt and idler
- Watch for scraping, thumping, or squealing; those point to drum support wear
- If heat becomes inconsistent, check airflow first, then heating system components
If your AGQ8000FS2 starts squealing, thumping, or the drum stops turning, these are common fixes:
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Drum not turning | Belt/idler | Frigidaire dryer drum belt 134503600 |
| Squealing or rumbling | Drum support | Dryer drum bearing kit, drum bearing, drum glide |
| Overheating or no heat (gas) | Safety/heat sensing | Thermal limiter, thermistor, igniter, valve coils |
A Frigidaire dryer can perform extremely well for years, but only if airflow and temperature control stay in spec. Good venting and clean lint paths reduce dry times, protect the burner system, and prevent repeated thermal limiter trips.
For correct placement, rough-in dimensions, gas supply requirements, and exhaust system requirements, follow the AGQ8000FS2 installation guide.
