What Makes Frigidaire Dryer Repairs Different

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?
- 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?
When to Call for Frigidaire Dryer Repair
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
- Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle

Dryer Notes for West Chester, PA
Most dryer calls in West Chester come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.
