What Makes Frigidaire Dryer Repairs Different
Frigidaire notes that a 208-volt supply instead of 240 volts can lengthen drying times. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
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?
Common Frigidaire Dryer Problems

Georgia has no appliance repair license; the Secretary of State's construction-related licensing boards cover conditioned air, electrical, plumbing, low voltage, utility and residential/general contractors, with no separate appliance category.
