FAQE7017K
Frigidaire Affinity FAQE7017K Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Dryer that tumbles but never gets warm
- Cycle that ends with clothes still damp in the seams
- Rumbling from the back of the cabinet
- Door switch that makes the dryer start and stop
The FAQE7017K is an Affinity electric dryer in Classic Silver, with a 7.0 cubic foot drum. Its siblings end in A, B or N, as in FAQE7017KA, FAQE7017KB or FAQE7017KN. Many of these older dryers are still working in Houston homes.
If yours tumbles without heat, we begin at the outlet and the terminal block, because a loose lug or one dead leg of the 240-volt supply gives a dryer that runs cold. After that comes the heating element and the thermal fuse. A rumble from the back of the cabinet usually means a worn drum roller or blower wheel, and a dryer that starts and stops may have a door switch that needs replacing.
Because the suffix can change which part fits, we copy the label in full before ordering. You get a written estimate first, and our repair is guaranteed for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
My dryer tumbles but is cold. Where do you start?
We check both legs of the 240-volt supply, then the terminal block, the heating element and the thermal fuse. A bad connection is easy to miss and costs less to fix than a part.
What makes a dryer start and stop on its own?
A worn door switch, a loose wire at the switch or a thermostat that opens too soon can do it. We test the switch and the wiring with the door closed.
What does a rumble from the back of the dryer mean?
Usually a worn drum roller or a blower wheel with lint packed on it. We open the back, turn the parts by hand and replace the one that is worn.
