Tumbles, no heat. Checklist said house fuses in dryer circuit may be blown. How do i check this, and where is this located? Thanks for any advice you may give!
For model number FAQE7001LW1
Hello Jane, thank you for your question. If the unit is tumbling it is getting power so the fuse in the home would not be the issue. We would recommend testing the following parts. PartSelect Number: PS446428, PartSelect Number: PS4704883, PartSelect Number: PS1149368. These are parts that regulate the heating element and the amount of heat being put into the unit. It those parts are tested and are not the issue the problem could be the element or the control board. I hope this helps.
Hi Wilford, thank you for your inquiry. Please follow the given instructions to run the test code:
1. Turn the knob to the third position from the left.
2. Press and hold "SELECT" and "CANCEL" simultaneously for six seconds. The buzzer will sound one time, then release the two keys.
3. Immediately press and hold the same two keys "SELECT" and "CANCEL" for six seconds. The control will enter field test mode, the buzzer will sound three times, and the digit display will alternate between "Fld" and the firmware revision number (ex. "r03").
4. Rotate the cycle selector knob two turns clockwise. The error code will appear in the digit display.
We hope this information is useful!

Motor won’t spin, pilled belt and mother still won’t spin. Bad motor? Nothing I can see in blower!!
For model number FAQE7001LW1
Hi Tim, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our understanding, the issue is most probably with the drive motor, part number PS16620747. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Tumbler starts very slow or not at all after pushing start button. Have to keep trying at times
For model number FAQE7001LW1
Hi Chris, thank you for reaching out. We have found that you may have a bad drum belt, part number PS2349294. The drum belt attaches to the motor pulley and spins the drum as the motor rotates. We would recommend checking the belt to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
When I described the noise to a YouTube appliance diagnostician, I was directed to check the felt seals front and back of the rotating drum for wear, tears, or foreign objects. As it happens the felt seals looked find and there were foreign objects so, not wanting to disassemble and reassemble the dryer more than I had, I ended up replacing all the replaceable moving parts that I considered possible culprits: The idler tension spring, the idler tension bracket (which includes a nylon pulley wheel), the drum belt, the five rubber-tipped bearings that support the drum and keep it in place, and the foam seal on the blower housing which seemed a little brittle and old, as well as high-temperature adhesive for the latter. The instructional videos here and on YouTube were extremely helpful (I doubt that I would have attempted this job at all, had I not watched these ahead of time). The most time-consuming aspect was waiting for the arrival of the parts as I didn't order them all at the same time or all from the same place (I ordered from whomever could ship me a given part the fastest. Disassembly took less than an hour. Re-assembly with the new parts in place took about the same but was a little more awkward because this appliance sits in a very narrow closet and it's difficult to ensure that the 4" flexible duct stays in place when sliding the appliance back into the closet. No regrets. Now I know the basics if this dryer needs attention in future and I also know all the parts that I can eliminate as suspects in any future maintenance (the parts that I replaced)
All the symptoms indicated the thermister (located in the exhaust air stream of the dryer) was the problem. Pulled the lower panel off the dryer. Took out the two lower screws holding the door panel on so I could pull the front panel out just enough to get a screwdriver on the screws holding the thermister on. Unhooked the two wires connected to it and hooked them to the new thermister(no need to observe polarity). Put the new thermister in, screwed the door panel back down, put the lower panel on and started drying clothes.
