FAQE7011LW
Frigidaire FAQE7011LW Electric Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Cycle that ends early or runs far too long on DrySense
- Control that ignores button presses
- Drum noise or a squeak at start-up
- Lint buildup around the door or the back of the dryer
The FAQE7011LW is a 27-inch Affinity electric dryer with about 7.0 cubic feet of capacity, DrySense technology and Express-Select controls. Many owners still run this older dryer every week.
DrySense decides when clothes are dry by sensing the load, so a cycle that ends early or never ends points us to the sensor strips inside the drum, then the thermistor and the control. Dirty sensors from fabric softener sheets are very common, and cleaning them is cheap. If the controls lock up, we check the control lock setting and the panel, then the board.
The label gives us the exact number and serial for ordering. When an older dryer will not pay back a repair, we will tell you. A written estimate comes first, and our work is guaranteed for 30 days.

Why does my dryer stop while clothes are still damp?
Dirty moisture sensor strips are a common reason, along with weak heat from the element or restricted venting. We clean the strips, then measure heat and airflow.
What does the control lock do, and can it cause problems?
It prevents button presses during a cycle. If the dryer seems unresponsive, the lock may be on. If it is off and the buttons still fail, we test the panel and the board.
How do you handle a squeak when the dryer starts?
We spin the drum by hand to feel for roller wear, then check the belt and idler pulley. The part that squeals is replaced, rather than the whole drive.
