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 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?
Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Dryer will not start when you press Start
- Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
