View Full Version : Frigidaire Affinity not starting.

I recently purchased a re-certified Frigidaire Affinity (Only Model# I can pull up is: AEQB7000ES) to match a washer I have had for around six months.
After getting everything set up, the dryer simply does not start.
:mad:
All the dial read outs are working properly, and thermostat seems to activate. But, no heat is being generated (The thermostat just reads the temperature inside of the drum), and the drum does not turn.
:confused:
The light inside of the drum does go on and off as you depress and release the door switch (And the digital read out shows that the unit pauses as the switch is released).

My first assumption was maybe something was wrong with the 220v outlet (We had not had a dryer hooked up in this place yet), and it was only receiving a 110v signal (Enough to generate power to the control board but not the heating element). But, we did all of the testing from the outlet and on the cord connections and it reads 220v proper.
I cleaned power plug connection on the dryer side to make sure everything was receiving good connection, and still nothing.

Now it seems like it is going to be something inside of the unit.

I am not an electric "newbie", but I am an appliance one. So, I have been looking for a wiring diagram or a service manual, and have not been able to find any. Any help would be great.
:cool:
