Know Your Frigidaire Dryer
What a Frigidaire Dryer Technician Deals With
The outside exhaust hood should have a swing-out damper, no screen over the opening, and at least 12 inches of clearance above the ground. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
Auto Dry cycles rely on moisture sensor bars in the drum, which fabric softener sheets can coat with residue. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
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?
- 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
Signs Your Frigidaire Dryer Needs a Technician
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Drum turns but the air stays cool
