What Makes Frigidaire Dryer Repairs Different
Frigidaire notes that a 208-volt supply instead of 240 volts can lengthen drying times. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time

What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Clothes over-dried. Frigidaire recommends picking the right cycle and temperature and using Auto Dry rather than Timed Dry. Source: Frigidaire - My clothes seem to be over-dried. How can I prevent this?
