GLEQ2170KS
Frigidaire Gallery GLEQ2170KS Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- No heat while the drum keeps turning
- Sensor dry cycle that ends too soon
- Rumbling or thumping as the drum turns
- Door that stops the dryer from starting
The GLEQ2170KS is a Gallery electric dryer with a drum of about 7.0 cu. ft., a stainless finish and sensor dry cycles. It is an older model that you still find in many homes, often next to a matching washer.
As a 240-volt electric dryer it depends on a heating element, thermal fuses and a thermostat, so no heat is usually a testable part, not a mystery. On models of this type we also check the door switch, the belt and the drum support rollers, because thumping and a dryer that will not start come from these wear parts. If the sensor cycles end too soon we clean the moisture sensor strips first.
Parts are matched to the sticker on the dryer, not to the name on the front. If the numbers say an older unit is not worth more money, we will tell you so before you spend it, and all repairs carry 30 days of coverage.

Why does my Gallery dryer tumble but never heat?
A burned element, a tripped thermal fuse or a weak thermostat is the usual cause on an electric dryer. We test each with a meter and check the vent, because a clogged vent can trip the fuse again.
My cycle stops before the clothes are dry. Is the sensor bad?
Often the sensor strips are just coated with fabric softener film. We clean them and test the reading. If the cycle still ends early, we look at the control before recommending parts.
Are parts still available for this older dryer?
Common wear parts such as belts, rollers, elements and switches are usually still obtainable. We confirm the number from the label first, and we say so if a part is hard to find.
