Frigidaire Dryer Lines and Features
How Frigidaire Dryers Are Built
Frigidaire notes that a 208-volt supply instead of 240 volts can lengthen drying times. 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?
Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
- Dryer will not start when you press Start
