Frigidaire Dryer Heater Element Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your Frigidaire dryer tumbles but won't heat, there's a good chance you're dealing with a failed heater element. This hub covers the 134792700 heater element—the coil assembly that generates the heat your dryer needs to actually dry clothes. It's compatible with dozens of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, and Crosley electric dryers, and it's one of the most common failure points in these machines.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your dryer's model number before ordering. You'll find it on a sticker inside the door opening or on the back panel near the bottom. Match it against the compatibility list below. Models like the FASE7074LA0, FASE7073NW2, LAQE7000LW0, and LAQE8000LW0 are all confirmed compatible with this element. If your model's listed, you're good to go.

About This Replacement Part

The 134792700 heater element is the actual coil that heats the air in your dryer drum. When it fails, heating elements typically develop a break somewhere in the coil—you won't always see it, but continuity testing will catch it. Before you replace the element, though, check your thermal fuse and thermal cut-out. If either of those is blown, your element won't heat even if it's technically good. A blown fuse is often the cause of no heat, and replacing just the fuse might solve your problem. But if the element itself has a break, this is your replacement. It's a direct OEM-equivalent part that replaces AP4368653, 1482984, PS2349309, and 7134792700.

Common Issues This Part Fixes

• Dryer not heating: Clothes tumble normally but come out damp after a full cycle
• Dryer overheating: Less common, but a partially failed element can cause irregular heating

What to Check Before You Replace

Don't assume the element's bad just because your dryer won't heat. Test the thermal fuse first—it's a one-time safety device that blows if your dryer overheats, and it'll cut power to the element even if the element's fine. You'll need a multimeter to check continuity. If the fuse is blown, replace it. If the fuse is good but you still have no heat, then test the element itself for continuity. A broken coil will show infinite resistance.

Installation Notes

Replacing the heater element isn't complicated, but you'll need to access the dryer's rear panel or front panel depending on your model. Unplug the dryer first—this is a 240V appliance, and working on it live is dangerous. Once you've removed the panel, disconnect the wire leads from the old element, remove the mounting screws, and swap in the new one. Before you button everything back up, do a quick visual check for lint buildup around the element housing. Excessive lint can cause overheating and blow your thermal fuse again.
