How Frigidaire Dryers Are Built
Electric Frigidaire dryers run on a 240-volt circuit fed by two household breakers or fuses, and one tripped breaker can leave the drum turning with no heat. Source: Frigidaire - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?
Common Frigidaire Dryer Problems
- Dryer making noise. Frigidaire says to fasten buckles and metal fasteners, check the drum for coins, then run an empty load; if the noise continues with the drum empty, contact service. Source: Frigidaire - Is it normal for my dryer to make sounds or noises?

Frigidaire says to check first for a tripped breaker or blown fuse on the dryer circuit, then confirm the cycle isn't Air Fluff and, on gas models, that the gas valve is open and supply is on.
