Frigidaire Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- Clothes take too long to dry. Frigidaire points to a dirty lint screen, a clogged exhaust duct, residue on the moisture sensor bars, poor ventilation in a closet install, or a 208-volt supply. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
- Dryer stops running. Frigidaire says an overloaded dryer can overheat its motor, so let it cool about 30 minutes and cut the load to a third to half of the drum; a tripped thermal limiter on electric models needs a technician. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Dryer will not start when you press Start
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
