Know Your Frigidaire Dryer

How Frigidaire Dryers Are Built

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

Electric Frigidaire dryers run on a 240-volt circuit fed by two household breakers or fuses, and one tripped breaker can leave the drum turning with no heat. Source: Frigidaire - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?

What Frigidaire Says to Check First

• Dryer won't start. Frigidaire suggests holding the start button for about two seconds, turning the cycle knob slightly past start, making sure the door is fully closed and the plug is seated, then checking the breaker or fuse. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my dryer does not start?
• 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?

Signs Your Frigidaire Dryer Needs a Technician

• Burning or hot smell during a cycle
• Dryer will not start when you press Start
• Drum turns but the air stays cool

Most dryer calls in Essex 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.

How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near Essex

• Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
