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?
- 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?
Signs Your Frigidaire Dryer Needs a Technician

What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Keeping a Frigidaire Dryer Running
- Clean the lint screen before or after every load and occasionally wash it in warm, soapy water, letting it dry fully before reinstalling. Source: Frigidaire - Dryers - How often do I need to clean my dryer or the lint screen/filter?
- On gas models, leave space around the dryer and keep laundry or rugs from piling against the front or back so the burner gets enough air. Source: Frigidaire - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?

Local Notes for Hockessin
Most dryer calls in Hockessin come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
