Know Your Frigidaire Dryer
What a Frigidaire Dryer Technician Deals With

What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- 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
- 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?
Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish

Local Notes for Michigan City
Most dryer calls in Michigan City 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.
Indiana licenses plumbers statewide through the Indiana Plumbing Commission but has no statewide HVAC technician license, so heating and mechanical contractor licensing, including gas appliance work, is set by individual counties and cities.

In Indiana, you can check a license with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency License Verification or report a problem to the Indiana Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
