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 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. Source: Frigidaire - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?
- 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?
Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Drum turns but the air stays cool

What Fort Washington Owners Should Know

Maryland does not issue a separate appliance repair license; the Maryland Board of Plumbing licenses plumbers, natural gas fitters and propane gas fitters, whose trades cover gas connections. Source: License Requirements - Maryland Board of Plumbing (Maryland Department of Labor)
In Maryland, you can check a license with the Maryland Department of Labor occupational license search (Board of Plumbing) or report a problem to the Maryland Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
