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 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.

Signs Your Frigidaire Dryer Needs a Technician

What to Have Ready for a Frigidaire Dryer Call

Local Notes for Somerville
Most dryer calls in Somerville 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
Before You Book in Somerville
- Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
- Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?
