Frigidaire LEQ1452KS0 dryer Parts

For a Frigidaire dryer like model LEQ1452KS0, the total cost to replace the heating element is typically $200 to $400 (part plus labor). If you do it yourself, you usually pay $100 to $200 for the heating element assembly, depending on availability and shipping.

What makes up the total cost

• Heating element assembly price: commonly the biggest portion of the cost
• Service call and labor: often 1 to 2 hours for an electric dryer
• Related parts (only if needed): thermal limiter, high-limit thermostat, wiring terminals
• Vent cleaning: sometimes added if overheating is suspected

Typical cost breakdown (part vs. labor)

Scenario	What you pay for	Typical total
DIY replacement	Part only	$100 to $200
Technician repair	Part + labor	$200 to $400
Overheating follow-up	Part + safety cutoffs + vent service	$250 to $500

Parts that are commonly checked with a failed heater

On the LEQ1452KS0, a “no heat” complaint is often tied to the heater circuit and its safety devices. We typically check these items during diagnosis:

• Frigidaire dryer heating element assembly 131553900
• Dryer thermal limiter 134120900
• Kelvinator dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267
• Dryer thermistor 134587700

Why it matters

A dryer that overheats or repeatedly blows a thermal limiter usually has an airflow problem (lint buildup, crushed vent, long vent run). Fixing airflow helps the new heating element last longer and improves dry times.

Model-specific notes for LEQ1452KS0

Your wiring diagram is typically located inside the dryer console or under the top panel; we use it to confirm heater circuit checks and wire placement during reassembly. For disassembly guidance and safety steps, follow the LEQ1452KS0 installation guide and the LEQ1452KS0 owner's manual.

On a Frigidaire dryer like model LEQ1452KS0, error code E64 points to a heating circuit problem, most commonly a failed or shorted heating element or a related wiring issue in the heater circuit. Use the LEQ1452KS0 owner's manual to confirm the exact diagnostic steps for your control.

What to check first (safe, quick checks)

• Unplug the dryer or switch OFF the breaker before removing any panels.
• Make sure the lint screen is clean and the exhaust vent is not restricted.
• Check for a burning smell, scorching, or melted insulation near heater wiring.
• If the drum turns but there is no heat, the heater circuit is the primary suspect.
• If the code returns immediately after reset, focus on heater wiring and components.

Parts commonly involved with E64 on this model

E64 is tied to the electric heat circuit. On LEQ1452KS0, these parts are frequent causes when the dryer will not heat or throws heater-related codes:

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
No heat, E64	Heating element circuit	Dryer heating element assembly 131553900
Overheating, heat shuts off	Safety limit devices	Dryer thermal limiter 134120900
Heat is erratic	Temperature sensing	Dryer thermistor 134587700

Why it matters

A heater-circuit fault can stop drying performance and can also cause overheating if a safety device is bypassed or if airflow is restricted. Correcting airflow issues and replacing failed heater components restores normal heat control and cycle times.

Installation and wiring note

When servicing heater components, follow the grounding and electrical safety guidance in the LEQ1452KS0 installation guide. Label wires before disconnecting and verify proper operation after servicing.

If your Frigidaire dryer model LEQ1452KS0 is not working (won’t start or runs incorrectly), the most common causes are a power supply problem, a tripped house breaker or blown fuse, a door not fully latched, or a safety device such as the thermal limiter opening. Use the checks below before replacing parts; see the LEQ1452KS0 owner's manual for model-specific guidance.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the dryer plug fits tightly in the wall outlet.
• Reset the circuit breaker or replace the house fuse; many dryers need a dedicated circuit.
• Make sure the door closes firmly; a weak latch can prevent starting.
• Verify the lint screen is clean and installed correctly.
• If the dryer was just installed or moved, review the safety and power-on steps in the LEQ1452KS0 installation guide.

If the dryer won’t start: what to test next

Unplug the dryer and then check these common no-start items in order:

What to check	What you’ll notice	Typical fix
Power at outlet/breaker	No lights, no response	Restore power, reset breaker, replace fuse
Door latch/door switch	Starts only when pushing on door	Adjust/replace latch or switch
Thermal limiter	Dryer is completely dead	Replace the limiter and correct overheating cause
Control/timer/start switch	Intermittent or no start	Test with a meter; replace failed component

A tripped thermal limiter is often linked to overheating from restricted airflow, so always inspect venting and lint buildup before restarting normal use.

Parts that commonly relate to “not working” symptoms

These model-matched parts are often involved when the dryer overheats, stops, or won’t run smoothly:

• Dryer thermal limiter 134120900 (opens if the dryer overheats)
• Kelvinator dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267 (temperature safety control)
• Dryer thermistor 134587700 (temperature sensing)

Why it matters

A dryer that “doesn’t work” is frequently protecting itself. Restoring proper airflow (clean lint screen, clear exhaust outdoors, and keep the area around the dryer unobstructed) helps prevent repeat shutdowns, long dry times, and overheating.
