I've got a frigidaire affinity GAS dryer with build date 4/14 on it. bought it new from lowes a couple years ago and kept it as a spare, never used. moved to a new house that had a gas hookup and the dryer went bad and installed this back in mid 2016. recently we have been putting the washer and dryer through their paces as we recently had a baby and our laundry went up quite a bit haha.
anyway, just yesterday my wife was complaining about the dryer and when I got home from work today I looked into it. you can put it on any of the cycles and after about 10 minutes or so it stops and stays in whatever cycle and time left but the far right 3 lights flash constantly. Also, the clothes are not hot. I cleaned out the lint trap and pulled the dryer forward and checked the exhaust system and its not clogged.
went online with the model number and looked up the owners manual thinking the error codes might be listed in there, no luck. then i started searching. found several different versions of how to get into the diagnostics modes and none of them work, even a couple on here. several on youtube as well, nothing. no error code at all.
though, i think with as much laundry as we were doing back/back that maybe it overloaded the thermal circuit breaker on the heating element. I cant imagine the element itself is bad as its a gas element and only has about a year of use on it which is why I'm thinking the breaker.
I've got a multimeter but I would really really like to pull a code before I tear the unit apart for no reason. if there is some different, newer way to get into diagnostics that anyone knows, that would help!

I will say that we are leaving town until next monday tomorrow as its time to introduce the baby to her great grandmothers in another state so I'm posting now hoping I can at least get a code to research while I'm away and hopefully have a part waiting on my door when I get back, but it is what it is.
