Know Your Frigidaire Dryer
What a Frigidaire Dryer Technician Deals With
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?
Auto Dry cycles rely on moisture sensor bars in the drum, which fabric softener sheets can coat with residue. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- 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 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?
Signs Your Frigidaire Dryer Needs a Technician
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
