Where can I find my Frigidaire dryer model number?
On your Frigidaire gas dryer model FAQG7077KA0, the model number is printed on the serial plate located at the top of the door opening. Open the dryer door and look along the upper edge of the opening for the label.
Quick steps to locate the label
- Open the dryer door fully.
- Look at the top (upper lip) of the door opening.
- Find the serial plate with Model and Serial fields.
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers).
- Use that model number when ordering parts or checking diagrams in the FAQG7077KA0 owner's manual.
What the label typically includes
Most Frigidaire dryer serial plates list these items:
| Label field | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct parts and diagrams |
| Serial number | Identifying production details for service |
| Purchase date (your record) | Warranty and maintenance tracking |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number helps us match the correct Frigidaire parts for your dryer, such as the white-westinghouse dryer drum belt 134719300 or a sensor like the dryer thermistor. Even small model-number differences can change the correct part fit.

How much does it cost to replace a heating element in a Frigidaire dryer?
For a Frigidaire dryer, heating-element replacement typically costs about $200 to $400 total (part plus labor). For your Frigidaire FAQG7077KA0 gas dryer, the “no heat” repair is usually not a heating element; it more often involves the igniter, gas valve coils, or temperature sensing.
What you’ll usually pay (typical ranges)
Costs vary by region and service call policies, but these ranges are common for dryer heat repairs:
- Service call/diagnostic: $80 to $150
- Labor (in-home repair): $100 to $250
- Common gas-heat parts: $20 to $200+
- Vent cleaning (if needed): $100 to $200
| Repair scenario (gas dryer) | Typical total cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter replacement | $150 to $350 | Common “runs but no heat” fix |
| Gas valve coil kit replacement | $120 to $300 | Often heats briefly, then stops |
| Sensor/thermistor replacement | $150 to $350 | Can cause cycling or no heat |
| “Heating element” replacement | $200 to $400 | More typical on electric dryers |
Parts that commonly fix “no heat” on FAQG7077KA0
If your dryer tumbles but doesn’t heat, these model-listed parts are frequent suspects:
- Dryer igniter 5304517325
- Booster coil 5303931775 (gas valve coil kit)
- Dryer thermistor 134587700
For wiring, access steps, and safety notes, follow the FAQG7077KA0 owner’s manual.
Quick checks before you schedule a repair
These checks can prevent paying for the wrong part:
- Confirm the cycle and temperature setting (avoid “air fluff/no heat”).
- Clean the lint screen and check airflow at the outside vent hood.
- If heat starts then quits, suspect gas valve coils.
- If you never see ignition, suspect the igniter or flame-sensing circuit.
- If drying times are long, address vent restriction first.
Why it matters
Gas dryers like the Frigidaire FAQG7077KA0 heat using an ignition and gas valve system, not an electric heating element. Pricing the repair correctly starts with identifying the right heat-source components and verifying airflow.

What does code e64 mean on a Frigidaire dryer?
On the Frigidaire FAQG7077KA0 gas dryer, error code E64 points to a heating circuit problem. In practice, that means the dryer is not sensing normal heat production, so we focus troubleshooting on the heat source and temperature sensing components.
What to check first (safe, quick checks)
- Reset power: unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute, then restore power.
- Confirm the cycle: test with a timed dry, high heat setting.
- Check airflow: clean the lint screen and make sure the exhaust duct is not crushed or clogged.
- Verify venting materials: use rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting, not flexible plastic.
- If the drum turns but heat is weak or intermittent, move to the heating system checks below.
Common causes on a gas dryer
Even though E64 is often described as a “heating element” issue on some dryers, your FAQG7077KA0 is a gas dryer, so the most common heat-related suspects are different.
| Symptom | Most likely area | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| No heat at all | Ignition system (igniter, coils, gas valve) | Burner never lights |
| Heats once, then stops heating | Gas valve coils | Burner drops out mid-cycle |
| Overheats or cycles heat oddly | Temperature sensing | Dryer misreads temperature |
| Long dry times, cabinet feels hot | Venting/airflow restriction | Heat cannot move through drum |
Parts that commonly fix E64-type heating faults
- Gas valve coils: booster coil 5303931775 (often causes heat to start then quit)
- Temperature sensing: dryer thermistor 134587700 (helps the control monitor drum temperature)
Why it matters
A heating fault can cause no-heat, long dry times, or overheating. Airflow problems can also make the dryer run hot and dry slowly, so checking the vent system early prevents repeat failures and improves performance.

How to take off the front of a Frigidaire dryer?
To remove the front of your Frigidaire FAQG7077KA0 gas dryer, we disconnect power, open the cabinet, label and disconnect any door-switch wiring, then remove the front panel mounting screws and lift the panel up and off the lower tabs. Use the FAQG7077KA0 installation guide for the exact screw locations and handling notes.
Safety first
- Turn off power at the breaker or fuse box before you start.
- If you need to disconnect any wires, label them first to prevent wiring errors.
- Wear cut-resistant gloves; cabinet edges can be sharp.
- If you smell gas at any point, stop and have the gas supply checked by a qualified technician.
Steps to remove the front panel (typical Frigidaire-style cabinet)
- Unplug the dryer (or switch off the circuit at the breaker).
- Remove the lint screen, then remove the screws that secure the top (locations vary by revision).
- Lift the top panel and support it.
- Disconnect the door switch harness (label wires first; some models also use a zip tie to secure the harness).
- Remove the front panel mounting screws (usually inside the cabinet near the top corners).
- Lift the front panel up, then pull it forward to release it from the lower retaining tabs.
What you may need to move after the front is off
| If you are replacing | You typically remove next | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Drum belt or idler components | Front panel, then drum access components | White-westinghouse dryer drum belt 134719300 |
| Noisy drum support | Front panel, then drum support area | Dryer drum support roller 5304523152 |
Why it matters
Removing the front panel correctly prevents broken door-switch wiring, stripped screw holes, and cabinet misalignment that can cause rubbing, vibration, or poor door closure.
