Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire electric dryer model FAQE7011LW0, looking up parts by the full model number is the most reliable way to match compatible replacement parts, diagrams, and installation details, especially for fit-critical items like belts, rollers, and switches.
How to look up parts by model number (best practice)
- Find the complete model number exactly as printed on the dryer’s data tag.
- Search using the full model number (include all letters and numbers, like FAQE7011LW0).
- Use the parts list and diagrams to confirm the part name and location on the dryer.
- Cross-check the part ID and description before ordering.
- Keep the manual handy for access panels, wiring notes, and safety steps (see the FAQE7011LW0 owner’s manual).
Common parts customers replace on FAQE7011LW0
If the dryer tumbles poorly, squeals, or will not start, these model-matched parts are common starting points:
- White-westinghouse dryer drum belt 134719300 (no tumble, slipping, or broken belt)
- Dryer drum support roller 5304523152 (thumping, rumbling, flat spots)
- Dryer door switch 134813601 (dryer will not run when door is closed)
Quick compatibility checklist
| What to match | What to compare | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | FAQE7011LW0 | Ensures the diagram and parts list are correct |
| Part ID | Example: 134719300 | Confirms the exact item on the parts page |
| Part name | Example: dryer drum belt | Prevents ordering a similar-looking part |
Why it matters
Dryer parts often look alike across Frigidaire-built models, but small differences (mounting points, wiring terminals, belt length, roller style) can change fit and performance. Using the model number first reduces returns and repeat repairs.

How much does it cost to replace a heating element in a Frigidaire dryer?
Replacing the heating element in a Frigidaire electric dryer like model FAQE7011LW0 typically costs about $200 to $400 total (part plus labor). The heating element part alone is commonly around $100 to $250, with labor often adding $100 to $200 depending on access and service rates.
What makes up the total cost?
- Heating element assembly price (varies by model and supplier)
- Service call or diagnostic fee (often applied toward the repair)
- Labor time (usually 30 to 90 minutes for many electric dryers)
- Related parts sometimes replaced at the same time (thermal limiter, high-limit thermostat)
- Vent cleaning if restricted airflow contributed to overheating
Parts that are often checked with a failed heater
A burned-out heater can be caused or accompanied by an airflow or temperature-control problem. For FAQE7011LW0, these common heat-safety parts are worth testing during diagnosis:
| Part | What it does | When it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer inlet thermal limiter 137032600 | Opens if the heater housing overheats | Dryer runs but stops heating, or heat fails again quickly |
| Kelvinator dryer high-limit thermostat 3204267 | Limits max heater temperature | Overheating, cycling heat issues |
| Dryer thermistor 134587700 | Helps regulate temperature | Erratic temps, poor drying performance |
Before you pay for a heating element
We recommend these quick checks first because they can change the repair cost and prevent repeat failures:
- Confirm the dryer is on a dedicated 30-amp, 240V circuit (electric dryers require 240V supply).
- Verify the correct 3-wire or 4-wire power cord and receptacle type for your setup.
- Check for restricted venting (crushed duct, clogged lint, blocked exterior hood).
- If the home has 208V service, expect longer dry times than on 240V.
- Review the electrical and grounding requirements in the FAQE7011LW0 installation guide.
Why it matters
A heating element can fail from normal wear, but overheating from poor airflow or incorrect power supply/cord setup can shorten the life of the new element and increase your total repair cost.

Where can I find my Frigidaire dryer model number?
On your Frigidaire electric dryer model FAQE7011LW0, the model number is typically printed on a rating label around the door opening, most often along the top edge of the opening when you open the dryer door. Confirm the exact label location and format in the FAQE7011LW0 owner's manual.
What to look for on the label
The rating label usually includes both the model number and serial number. Check for:
- A line that starts with Model or Model No.
- A separate Serial or S/N line
- A barcode and a block of small printed text
- The full model number exactly as FAQE7011LW0
- Electrical information (voltage/amps) near the model details
Common label locations on this dryer style
If you do not see it at the very top of the door opening, check these other common spots:
- Along the left or right side of the door opening
- On the inside face of the dryer door
- Just behind the lint screen housing area (visible without disassembly)
- Inside the console area (some tech sheets are stored there; see the FAQE7011LW0 installation guide)
Quick checklist: model number vs. serial number
Use this to make sure you are copying the right identifier when ordering parts like a drum belt or door switch.
| Item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures parts fit your exact dryer design | FAQE7011LW0 |
| Serial number | Identifies production run and date details | Letters and numbers |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Frigidaire dryer parts diagrams and compatible replacements. Even small model-number differences can change parts such as the drive belt routing, door switch style, or control board version.
