Frigidaire Dryer Lines and Features
How Frigidaire Dryers Are Built
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
Electric models have a thermal limiter safety switch that cuts the motor when the dryer overheats, and it must be replaced by a service technician once tripped. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
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?
When to Call for Frigidaire Dryer Repair
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Drum turns but the air stays cool
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle

- On gas models, leave space around the dryer and keep laundry or rugs from piling against the front or back so the burner gets enough air. Source: Frigidaire - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?
