Frigidaire FAQE7011KW0 electric dryer Parts

Yes. For your Frigidaire electric dryer model FAQE7011KW0, using the full model number is the most accurate way to find parts that fit because it matches your exact configuration and component revisions.

Your dryer’s model number is on the serial plate at the top of the door opening. Once you have FAQE7011KW0, use it to narrow results to the correct diagrams and replacement parts.

• Open the dryer door and locate the serial plate near the top of the opening
• Write down the full model number and serial number (keep them for future service)
• Use the model number to identify the correct part category (drum, door, heating, controls)
• Match the part by description and identifier, not just by appearance
• Confirm installation and electrical requirements before servicing

For model-specific identification details and safe-use guidance, check the FAQE7011KW0 owner's manual.

Using FAQE7011KW0 helps you quickly confirm common wear items and door components that frequently need replacement.

Dryers often have multiple versions that look similar. Searching by model number reduces wrong-part returns and helps ensure the replacement part fits your Frigidaire dryer’s wiring, mounting points, and drum system.

If you are ordering because the dryer is not running correctly, check for any displayed error codes first; they can point you to the right circuit or sensor to test. Use Frigidaire dryer error codes as a starting point.

Replacing the heating element in a Frigidaire electric dryer like model FAQE7011KW0 typically costs about $200 to $400 total (part plus labor). If you DIY, you usually pay $80 to $200 for the heating element; a service call and labor often add $120 to $250.

Most “heating element replacement” quotes include a mix of these items:

• Heating element (the heater assembly or element coil)
• Service call or diagnostic fee
• Labor time (disassembly, installation, reassembly, test run)
• Optional related safety parts (thermal limiter, high-limit thermostat)

On electric dryers, the drum can tumble but the heater may not run if one side of the 240V supply is missing (often a tripped breaker or a blown fuse). We recommend checking these first because they can mimic a bad element:

• Reset the dryer’s double breaker (turn fully OFF, then ON)
• Check for two fuses (some homes use fuses instead of breakers)
• Confirm the outlet is supplying full 240V (a technician can test safely)
• Review the troubleshooting notes in the FAQE7011KW0 owner’s manual

If the dryer overheated due to restricted airflow, a safety device can open and stop heat. These parts are common on this model family and may be replaced along with the element during a heat repair:

• Dryer inlet thermal limiter 137032600 (one-time safety cutoff)
• Kelvinator dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267 (overheat protection)
• Venting and lint screen cleaning (prevents repeat failures)

A correct diagnosis saves money and prevents repeat no-heat problems. Airflow restrictions and power-supply issues are two of the most common reasons an electric dryer “runs but won’t heat”, even when the heating element is still good.

A Frigidaire electric dryer like model FAQE7011KW0 typically lasts 13 years with normal household use. Consistent airflow (clean lint filter and venting) and prompt repair of wear items like belts and rollers are the biggest factors in reaching that lifespan.

• Vent restriction (long run, crushed duct, clogged vent hood) increases heat and stress on thermostats and the heating circuit.
• Overloading strains the drive system (belt, idler, drum support rollers).
• Heat setting choices: frequent high-heat drying can shorten the life of heating and temperature-sensing parts.
• Maintenance habits: lint removal inside the cabinet and vent cleaning reduce overheating.
• Electrical supply quality: loose connections can overheat at the terminal block.

If the dryer still heats but gets noisy, stops tumbling, or takes longer to dry, these common parts are often involved:

• Clean the lint screen every load.
• Inspect and clean the vent path (dryer outlet to exterior hood) regularly.
• Avoid consistently drying heavy loads on high heat.
• If you notice burning smell, repeated shutdowns, or weak heat, stop using the dryer until the airflow and heating circuit are checked.
• Follow the maintenance and operating guidance in the owner's manual.

Most “dryer died early” failures are heat and airflow related. Keeping airflow strong helps the heating element, thermal limiter, and high-limit thermostat run within normal temperatures, which protects the dryer and your laundry.
