Frigidaire Dryer Symptoms and First Checks

• 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?
• Dryer not heating. 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. Source: Frigidaire - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?

Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
