How much does it cost to replace a heating element in a Frigidaire dryer?
For Frigidaire dryer model GLER341AS2, the heating element part cost is typically the price of the compatible heating element assembly itself; labor is extra and varies by location. For this model, a common replacement is the Frigidaire dryer heating element assembly 131553900.
A “heating element replacement cost” usually includes one or more of these items:
- Heating element assembly (the main part)
- Service call and labor time (if you hire a technician)
- Related safety parts that may also need replacement (for example, a limiter or thermostat)
- Vent cleaning or duct corrections if overheating caused the failure
If your GLER341AS2 runs but will not heat, we often check the heater circuit parts along with the element.
- Frigidaire dryer heating element assembly 131553900
- Dryer thermal limiter 134120900
- Kelvinator dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267
Exact totals depend on whether you DIY or hire service.
| Cost item | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heating element assembly (part only) | $80 to $250 | Varies by supplier and promotions |
| Labor (installed by technician) | $150 to $350 | Often 1 to 2 hours plus service call |
| Total installed cost | $230 to $600 | Higher if venting issues caused repeat failures |
A failed heating element can be a symptom of restricted airflow. Keeping the lint screen and exhaust path clean helps prevent overheating, nuisance thermal trips, and repeat heater failures. For operating and care steps, use the GLER341AS2 owner’s manual.

What are the most common issues with GLER341AS2?
The most common problems we see with the Frigidaire GLER341AS2 dryer are no heat or weak heat, long dry times from restricted airflow, drum not turning (belt or idler issues), squealing or thumping noises (drum support wear), and the dryer not starting (door switch or start circuit). Use the GLER341AS2 owner's manual to match symptoms to checks and wiring diagrams.
- No heat or poor heat: failed heater, thermal limiter, or high-limit thermostat; also check airflow
- Takes too long to dry: clogged lint screen, crushed vent, blocked exterior hood, weak blower
- Drum will not tumble: broken belt, worn idler components, seized drum support
- Squealing, scraping, or thumping: worn drum bearing, drum glides, felt seal, or drum support kit
- Will not start: door not latching, start switch issue, or drive drum switch problem
If your troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common repairs:
| Symptom | Common repair part | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Drum not turning | Belt 134503600 | Transfers motor power to the drum |
| No heat | Frigidaire dryer heating element assembly 131553900 | Generates heat for drying |
| Overheats or shuts off heat | Dryer thermal limiter 134120900 | Opens if temperature gets unsafe |
| Loud rumble/squeal | Dryer drum bearing kit 5303281153 | Restores rear drum support |
| Won’t start because door won’t stay closed | Frigidaire dryer door catch 131658800 | Helps the door latch securely |
- Clean the lint screen and wash it with mild soap if you use dryer sheets
- Inspect the entire vent run for kinks, crushing, lint buildup, or a stuck exterior damper
- Try a timed dry cycle to rule out cycle or sensor-related behavior
- Listen for motor hum with no drum movement (often belt or drum support)
- Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages
Dryer problems often stack up: restricted airflow can cause long dry times, overheating, and repeated thermal cutoffs. Fixing venting and worn drum support parts helps the GLER341AS2 dry faster, run quieter, and reduce repeat failures.
