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
