Frigidaire / Electrolux Dryer Heating Element Assembly 131553900, Replaces 131505700

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dryer runs with no heat when the heating element coil is open or burned out.
• Clothes take unusually long to dry when the element is partially failed or airflow is restricted.
• Dryer becomes excessively hot when the heating circuit or airflow system is malfunctioning.
• Visible sparking or a broken section of the heating coil may occur when the element has failed.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or servicing the dryer.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the heating coil for breaks, sagging, burn marks, or contact with the metal housing.
• With power disconnected and using an appropriate meter procedure, check the element for continuity; an open circuit indicates a failed element, but continuity alone does not prove the entire heating system is functional.
• Inspect the element terminals and connected wiring for looseness, discoloration, or heat damage.
• Check and clean the lint filter and exhaust path because restricted airflow can cause long drying times or excessive heat and can shorten element life.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect the dryer from its electrical supply before beginning work.
• Installation requires access to the dryer interior; the access and disassembly sequence can vary by model.
• Disconnect the heating-element wiring and any associated high-limit thermostat wiring only after power is removed, and record or preserve the original wire locations.
• Secure the replacement assembly in the original rear-panel position and reconnect the wiring firmly and correctly.
• After reassembly, verify that the drum, belt, panels, and wiring are correctly positioned before restoring power.
• Confirm that the exhaust system and lint filter are clean before operating the dryer.
