How Frigidaire Dryers Are Built

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
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
- Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle
- Drum turns but the air stays cool
