What Makes Frigidaire Dryer Repairs Different
Electric models have a thermal limiter safety switch that cuts the motor when the dryer overheats, and it must be replaced by a service technician once tripped. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?

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?
- 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
