How much does it cost to replace a heating element in a Frigidaire dryer?
For the Frigidaire FRQG7000LW0 gas dryer, there is no electric heating element to replace; heat is produced by the gas burner system. Replacement cost depends on which heating component failed (igniter, gas valve coils, thermistor) plus labor; parts-only is commonly $20 to $300.
What you actually replace on a gas dryer when it will not heat
On FRQG7000LW0, “no heat” repairs typically involve one of these parts or checks:
- Burner igniter (glows but burner does not light, or never glows)
- Gas valve coils (burner lights once, then stops reheating)
- Temperature sensor/thermistor (incorrect temperature sensing)
- Airflow restriction (clogged lint screen, crushed vent, blocked exterior hood)
- Gas supply issue (shutoff valve closed, low supply pressure)
If you are pricing parts for common heat-related failures, these model-matched examples help:
| Symptom | Common suspect part | Example part anchor |
|---|---|---|
| No ignition at all | Igniter | Dryer burner igniter 5304517325 |
| Heats once, then no reheat | Gas valve coils | Dryer valve coil kit 5303931775 |
| Overheats or shuts down early | Thermistor | Dryer thermistor 134587700 |
Typical cost range (parts and labor)
Actual totals vary by region and service company, but these ranges are typical for a gas dryer repair:
- Parts-only: about $20 to $300 (coils on the low end; control board or gas valve assembly on the high end)
- Labor/service call: commonly $100 to $250
- Total installed: often $150 to $500+, depending on diagnosis and access
Why it matters
Gas dryers are often misquoted as “heating element” repairs; pricing the wrong part wastes time and can leave the dryer still not heating. Confirming whether the igniter, coils, sensor, or airflow is the root cause gets you to the correct fix faster.
What we recommend before buying parts
- Confirm the dryer tumbles and the door fully latches
- Clean the lint screen and check vent airflow at the outside hood
- Run a timed dry cycle and listen for ignition attempts
- Use the troubleshooting and component access steps in the FRQG7000LW0 installation guide
- If the display shows a fault, reference Frigidaire dryer error codes

How to reset a Frigidaire front load dryer?
To reset your Frigidaire FRQG7000LW0 gas dryer, cancel the current cycle and power-cycle the dryer: turn it off, unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for 1 minute, then restore power and start a new cycle. For model-specific control steps, use the FRQG7000LW0 owner's manual.
Quick reset steps (works for most Frigidaire front-load dryers)
- Press Cancel to stop the cycle.
- Turn the dryer Off.
- Unplug the power cord (or turn the circuit breaker Off).
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Restore power and select a fresh cycle (try Air fluff/no heat first).
- If an error returns, note the code and check Frigidaire dryer error codes.
If the dryer still will not run after a reset
A reset clears many temporary control glitches, but it will not fix a failed part or an unsafe condition.
| Symptom after reset | Most common cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| No display, no response | No power to dryer | Check breaker, outlet, and cord connection |
| Runs but no heat | Ignition or gas valve issue | Use safe troubleshooting steps; service if needed |
| Stops quickly | Door not sensed closed | Check latch alignment and the door switch |
| Error code returns | Active fault detected | Follow the code-specific checks |
Why it matters
Resetting the FRQG7000LW0 is a fast way to clear a stuck cycle or control-board hiccup, and it helps you confirm whether the problem is power/control related or a true heating, airflow, or door-safety issue.

Where can I find my Frigidaire dryer model number?
On your Frigidaire gas dryer model FRQG7000LW0, the model number is typically printed on a rating label around the door opening; check along the top edge of the opening and the inner door area where the label is easy to read when the door is open. See the FRQG7000LW0 installation guide for label-location and setup details.
Quick steps to locate the model number
- Open the dryer door fully and look around the door opening.
- Check the top edge of the door opening first (common location).
- Look on the inner door frame and the inside face of the door.
- Wipe dust off the label with a dry cloth so the characters are readable.
- Write down the full model number and the serial number exactly as shown.
What the label usually includes (and what to record)
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | FRQG7000LW0 |
| Serial number | Production details and service history | Letters and numbers |
| Type/fuel | Confirms gas vs. electric | Gas dryer |
Why it matters
We use the exact model number to match the correct Frigidaire parts (like a door switch, drum belt, or control board) and to ensure installation requirements and accessory fit are correct for your specific dryer.
