Where can I find my Frigidaire dryer model number?
On your Frigidaire dryer, the model number label is typically located around the door opening; for the FAQE7111LW1, check along the top edge of the door opening first. The same label usually lists the serial number as well; record both before ordering parts.
Quick steps to locate the model number
- Open the dryer door and look along the top of the door opening.
- Check the inside edge of the door opening on the cabinet frame.
- Wipe the label gently; lint and residue can hide the print.
- Take a clear photo of the full tag (model and serial) for reference.
- Match the model number exactly, including all letters and numbers.
What the label helps you do
Having the correct model number ensures we can match the right diagrams, installation details, and parts for your exact dryer.
| You need | Why it matters | Example for this dryer |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures correct part fit and wiring/feature match | FAQE7111LW1 |
| Serial number | Helps identify production variation and revisions | Listed on the same tag |
Why it matters
Frigidaire dryers can use different components across similar-looking models. Using the exact model number helps avoid ordering the wrong items (for example, a belt, door switch, or lint screen that looks similar but mounts differently). For additional label-location and identification details, use the FAQE7111LW1 installation guide.

Why does my Frigidaire dryer not dry so good?
Poor drying on a Frigidaire FAQE7111LW1 dryer is almost always an airflow problem (lint screen, blower area, or venting) or a heat-control issue. We start by restoring full exhaust airflow to the outdoors, then check common heating sensors if airflow is already strong.
Quick checks that fix most “not drying well” complaints
- Clean the lint screen before every load; wash it with warm water and a soft brush if you see a waxy film.
- Confirm the dryer exhausts outdoors (not into a wall, attic, crawl space, or other enclosed area).
- Replace any flexible plastic vent; it can collapse and trap lint.
- Inspect the vent hose behind the dryer for kinks, crushing, or long runs.
- Check the outdoor vent hood for a stuck flap or lint buildup.
Airflow vs heat: how to tell what’s wrong
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| Clothes warm but still damp | Restricted airflow | Clean venting and check blower path |
| Dryer runs but little or no heat | Heating circuit/sensors | Check thermostats/thermal limiter after airflow |
| Dry times suddenly doubled | Vent hood blocked or duct crushed | Inspect outdoor hood and behind-dryer duct |
Parts that commonly affect drying performance
If airflow is good and drying is still weak, these parts often cause cycling or no-heat symptoms:
- Dryer lint screen 137560710 (a damaged or poorly fitting screen can leak lint into the blower and duct)
- Dryer thermistor 134587700 (temperature sensing)
- Dryer inlet thermal limiter 137032600 (opens if overheating occurs)
- Kelvinator dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267 (overheat protection)
Why it matters
A dryer that cannot exhaust properly will dry slowly and can overheat. The installation requirements for this model emphasize exhausting outdoors and avoiding flexible plastic venting because crushed or lint-trapping ducts restrict airflow.
Model-specific reference
Use the venting and exhaust requirements in the FAQE7111LW1 installation guide to confirm your duct material, routing, and outdoor termination match the recommended setup.

Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire dryer model FAQE7111LW1, looking up parts by the full model number is the most reliable way to match the correct replacement part because it filters results to the exact drum, motor, heating, and door components used on your dryer.
How to find the model number and use it
Use the complete model number exactly as shown on the dryer’s data tag, then search parts using that number.
- Locate the data tag on the dryer (commonly inside the door opening or on the cabinet opening)
- Write the model number exactly, including all letters and numbers (example: FAQE7111LW1)
- Use the model number to view diagrams and part lists for your exact configuration
- Cross-check the part name and part ID before ordering
- Confirm installation and safety notes in the FAQE7111LW1 installation guide
Examples of parts you can match to FAQE7111LW1
Once you search by model number, you can quickly narrow down common wear items.
| What you’re fixing | Common matched part for this model | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Drum not turning, squealing, or thumping | White-westinghouse dryer drum belt 134719300 | Turns the drum using the motor pulley and idler system |
| Rumbling or thumping noise | Dryer drum support roller 5304523152 | Supports the drum as it rotates |
| Dryer overheating or shutting off | Dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267 | Helps prevent unsafe high temperatures |
Why it matters
Dryer parts can look similar across Frigidaire-built models, but small differences (belt length, roller style, thermostat ratings, harness connectors) affect fit and performance. Searching by FAQE7111LW1 helps prevent returns and repeat repairs.
Pro tip for troubleshooting before ordering
If you are chasing a symptom (no heat, long dry times, error codes), start with the basics first.
- Clean the lint screen and check airflow
- Inspect the vent for kinks or clogs
- Verify the door closes and latches properly
- Use the Frigidaire dryer error codes reference if your display shows a code

How much is a control board for a Frigidaire dryer?
For a Frigidaire dryer like model FAQE7111LW1, a replacement control board price depends on the exact board type and part number; most Frigidaire dryer control boards typically run about $150 to $300. Use the part number on your board to price the correct match.
How to identify the correct control board for FAQE7111LW1
Control boards are commonly sold as either a main control board or a user interface board. To avoid ordering the wrong one:
- Unplug the dryer or switch off the breaker before opening the console
- Remove the control console cover and locate the circuit board label
- Write down the full part number and any revision number on the label
- Match the connector layout (plugs and pin positions) to your wiring harness
- Use the wiring and access guidance in the FAQE7111LW1 installation guide
What to do if you do not see a control board listed
On our FAQE7111LW1 parts list, the currently highlighted parts do not include a control board. When that happens, pricing and ordering works best by searching with the board’s printed part number.
- Search by the board’s part number (not just “control board”)
- Check for substituted or updated part numbers
- Compare “main control” vs. “console/user interface” descriptions
- If the dryer will not start, also check simpler failures first (door switch, thermal limiter)
Quick comparison: board types and symptoms
| Board type | Typical symptoms | Typical price range |
|---|---|---|
| User interface board | Buttons do not respond, display issues | $120 to $250 |
| Main control board | No start, stops mid-cycle, erratic operation | $150 to $300 |
Why it matters
“Control board” is a generic term; Frigidaire dryers often use more than one board. Matching the exact part number for your FAQE7111LW1 prevents wrong connectors, repeat disassembly, and unnecessary returns.
