Frigidaire Dryer Heating Element Parts — Models & Compatibility

The heating element is the heart of your Frigidaire dryer — when it fails, you're left with wet clothes and a machine that runs but produces no heat. This 5300622034 restring coil fits dozens of Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Tappan electric dryers across multiple model series. If your dryer's tumbling but not heating, this is typically the first component to check.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Before ordering, you'll need to verify your exact model number. On most Frigidaire dryers, look inside the door frame — there's a white sticker with the model number printed clearly. It'll start with letters like FDE, GLER, FSE, or FLSE followed by numbers. Cross-reference that with the compatibility list below to confirm fitment.

This element also replaces several older part numbers: AP2135128, PS451032, AH451032, and EA451032. If you've got a repair estimate listing any of those numbers, this is the same component.

About This Replacement Part

The 5300622034 is a restring coil — that's the wire element that generates heat when electricity flows through it. It's housed inside your dryer's heating chamber, typically located at the lower rear or front bottom depending on your model. Over time, these coils can burn out from normal wear, power surges, or restricted airflow caused by clogged vents. When they fail, the dryer will run and tumble normally, but won't produce any heat whatsoever.

This part works across Frigidaire's front-load and top-load electric dryer lines from the early 2000s through recent years. You'll find it in their standard capacity models (around 7 cubic feet) and larger capacity units. The FDE series (Front-load Dryer Electric) and GLER series (Gallery Electric) are particularly common applications.

Compatible Model Series

This heating element fits multiple Frigidaire dryer families:

• FDE Series: FDE336NBS0, FDE216RBS0, FDE436RBS0, FDE747RBS1 — front-load electric dryers with various capacity options
• FLSE Series: FLSE72GCS0, FLSE72GCT0 — stackable electric models popular in apartments
• FSE Series: FSE747GCS0 — mid-range electric dryers
• F31C Series: F31C336CS0, F31C546CT0 — compact electric dryers
• GLER Series: GLER642AS0, GLER341AS2 — Gallery line electric dryers
• GLEH Series: GLEH1642FS1 — Gallery high-efficiency models
• AEQ Series: AEQ6000ES2 — Affinity electric dryers
• FEX Series: FEX831CS0 — basic electric dryers

Kenmore Cross-Compatibility

Since Frigidaire manufactured dryers for Sears under the Kenmore brand, this element also fits many Kenmore 110-series and 970-series electric dryers. If you've got a Kenmore dryer and the existing element shows a 5300622034 part number, you're in the right place.

What You'll Need for Installation

Replacing a dryer heating element isn't complicated, but you'll need basic tools and safety precautions. Always unplug the dryer completely before starting — electric dryers run on 240V, which is dangerous. You'll typically need a nut driver set or socket set to remove panels, and possibly a continuity tester to verify the new element's working before reassembly.

Access varies by model — some require removing the front panel, others need rear panel removal. Budget about 45 minutes to an hour if you're comfortable with basic appliance repair.

Verifying the Problem

Before replacing the element, confirm it's actually failed. If your dryer runs but produces zero heat, the element's likely burned out. If it heats intermittently or takes forever to dry clothes, check your vent system first — restricted airflow causes 90% of "weak heat" complaints and can burn out a new element quickly.

You can test the element with a multimeter. Disconnect power, remove the element assembly, and check for continuity across the element terminals. No continuity means the coil's broken and needs replacement.
