Hello! Our Frigidaire affinity dryer will no longer heat up at all. But in addition to that, the drum automatically begins running non stop as soon as the door is closed. We assume that this is the control board, but i have not found anything online where anyone else had this combination of issues. Thank you so much in advance!Chris

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your question. Our sources suggest checking and possibly replacing both the thermistor under part PS1149368 for your model, and the door switch under part PS2330880 for your model to fix both issues. The thermistor has been known to cause not only temperature issues for the dryer, but it also has been known to mess with the dryer cycling control, like the drum not stopping. The door switch is a very common part if there are issue with the dryer not stopping after the door is closed or is turned off, so we suggest checking both of these parts with a multi-meter to make sure before ordering. We hope this helps.
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)
