Frigidaire Dryer Repair (Model AEQ6700FS0) – Homeworth, OH

A Frigidaire dryer in Homeworth wouldn’t start and kept stopping mid-cycle. We found a failed control board that was sending erratic signals to the drive motor and heating elements.

The Problem

The customer reported their AEQ6700FS0 dryer wouldn’t turn on consistently, and when it did start, it would stop randomly during cycles. The control panel lights would flicker, and the drum would stop rotating even though the timer was still running.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the main control board was malfunctioning. The circuit board showed signs of heat damage around the relay contacts, causing intermittent power delivery to the motor and heating circuit. This type of failure is common in this model series when moisture gets into the control housing over time.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134557201NH — main control board assembly
• Work performed: Removed old control board, installed new unit, reconnected all wire harnesses
• Result: Ran full test cycles on multiple heat settings — dryer operates normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

This AEQ6700FS0 is a solid mid-range Frigidaire dryer from their Affinity series. The control board is the main failure point on these units, but once replaced, they typically run reliably for years. At around 8-10 years old, this repair makes sense versus replacement.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dryers

• Clean the moisture sensor bars inside the drum monthly with rubbing alcohol — buildup causes overdrying
• Check the exhaust vent outside your home for lint blockage every few months
• Wipe down the control panel with a dry cloth only — moisture can damage the electronics behind it
