Where can I find my Frigidaire dryer model number?
On your Frigidaire dryer model FASE7073LW0, the model number is printed on the serial plate at the top of the door opening. Open the dryer door and look along the upper edge of the opening for the label with the model and serial numbers.
Quick steps to locate it
- Open the dryer door fully.
- Look at the top lip of the door opening (the cabinet frame, not the door itself).
- Find the serial plate or sticker with Model and Serial fields.
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers).
- Use that model number when ordering parts like a belt, heating element, or thermostat.
What the label typically includes
| Label item | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams to your exact dryer |
| Serial number | Identifying production details for service and support |
| Electrical info | Confirming power requirements and wiring details |
Why it matters
We use the model number to ensure parts fit your exact configuration. Even within Frigidaire dryers, small design changes can affect items like the drum belt, thermistor, or heating circuit components.
For the official location and product record instructions, follow the FASE7073LW0 owner’s manual.

How much does it cost to replace a heating element in a Frigidaire dryer?
For a Frigidaire FASE7073LW0 dryer, the total cost to replace the heating element is usually $150 to $400: the part commonly runs $100 to $200, and labor/service call often adds $100 to $250. If you DIY, you typically pay for the part only.
What makes up the total cost
- Heating element price (part only): varies by model and availability
- Labor: access time, stuck fasteners, and reassembly time
- Service call/diagnostic fee: may be applied toward the repair
- Related safety parts: a failed heater can also damage a thermal limiter or thermostat
- Vent cleaning: restricted airflow is a common root cause of overheating
For this model, a matching heater is the Frigidaire dryer heating element 134792700.
Typical price ranges (what to expect)
| Scenario | What you pay for | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| DIY replacement | Part only | $100 to $200 |
| Pro repair (most common) | Part + labor | $200 to $400 |
| Heater plus safety parts | Part(s) + labor | $250 to $500 |
Before you buy a heating element (quick checks)
A dryer can run but not heat even when the heating element is fine. In the FASE7073LW0 owner guidance, one common cause is a blown house fuse on electric models (the drum turns but the heater will not). We also see heating shut down when a thermal limiter trips.
- Confirm the dryer has full power (electric dryers often use two fuses/breakers)
- Check airflow: lint screen, vent hose, and outside hood for blockage
- If the dryer overheated, inspect/replace the inlet limiter and high-limit thermostat as needed
- Unplug the dryer before servicing; label wires to prevent miswiring
Model-specific procedures and safety steps are in the FASE7073LW0 owner's manual.
Why it matters
A weak or failed heating circuit can turn a simple part swap into repeat failures if the real issue is restricted venting or an overheat condition. Fixing airflow and any tripped limiters helps the new heating element last.

What does code e64 mean on a Frigidaire dryer?
On the Frigidaire FASE7073LW0 dryer, error code E64 points to a heating circuit problem, most commonly a failed or electrically open heating element. Start by resetting power, then check the heater circuit components and wiring before replacing parts.
What to check first (safe, quick steps)
- Unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) for 2 minutes, then restore power and retry a heated cycle.
- Clean the lint filter and confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
- Verify the exhaust duct is 4-inch rigid or semi-rigid metal, not crushed, and not overly long.
- If the dryer runs but does not heat, stop using it until the heater circuit is checked.
- If you recently serviced the dryer, re-check that every wire is on the correct terminal (miswiring can cause unsafe operation).
Likely causes and the parts involved
E64 is usually triggered when the control senses the heater is not operating correctly. These are the most common culprits on this model family:
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Runs, no heat | Heating element open | Frigidaire dryer heating element 134792700 |
| Heats briefly, then stops | Overheat protection opened | Dryer inlet thermal limiter 137032600 |
| Overheats or cycles heat oddly | Temperature sensing issue | Dryer thermistor 134587700 |
Why it matters
A heating fault is often linked to restricted airflow. Poor venting can overheat the heater housing, trip a thermal limiter, increase dry times, and create a fire risk. Keeping the venting within the installation requirements helps prevent repeat failures.
Where to confirm model-specific guidance
Use the FASE7073LW0 installation guide to verify venting limits (duct length, number of elbows) and the FASE7073LW0 owner’s manual for operating and care steps that reduce overheating.

Why is my Frigidaire dryer not drying?
If our Frigidaire FASE7073LW0 dryer runs but clothes stay damp, the most common causes are restricted airflow (lint screen or venting), a heat circuit problem (house fuses/breaker), or a failed heating component such as the heating element or thermal limiter.
Quick checks that fix most “not drying” complaints
- Clean the lint screen completely before every load (a blocked screen can overheat and reduce drying).
- Confirm the exhaust duct is 4-inch rigid or semi-rigid metal, not crushed, and the outside hood opens freely.
- Keep the vent run short; limit bends (no more than two 90° turns is a good target).
- Avoid overloading; most wet loads should fill the drum about 1/3 to 1/2 full for proper tumbling.
- Use the right cycle and dryness setting; over-drying and under-drying both happen with mismatched settings.
Heat and power checks (especially for electric dryers)
The manual notes that an electric dryer can tumble but not heat if one of the two house fuses is blown (or a breaker issue affects one leg of power).
- Reset the breaker fully (OFF then ON) or replace blown fuses.
- Verify the dryer is on a dedicated circuit.
- If the dryer is on 208V (some apartments/condos), drying time can run about 20% longer than on 240V.
Parts that commonly cause “runs but won’t dry”
If airflow and power are good, we focus on the heating circuit parts used on this model.
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| No heat at all | Heater circuit open | Frigidaire dryer heating element 134792700 |
| Stops heating, smells hot | Overheat protection opened | Dryer inlet thermal limiter 137032600 |
| Long dry times, inconsistent dryness | Temperature sensing | Dryer thermistor (model-specific part listed for this dryer) |
Why it matters
Poor airflow and overheating conditions can trip safety devices, increase dry times, and stress components. Keeping the lint screen and venting clear is the fastest way to restore normal drying and help prevent repeat failures.
For cycle guidance, venting requirements, and the “avoid service checklist,” use the FASE7073LW0 owner’s manual. For vent length and bend limits, also follow the FASE7073LW0 installation guide.
