What a Frigidaire Dryer Technician Deals With
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?
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?
- Dryer not heating. Frigidaire says to check first for a tripped breaker or blown fuse on the dryer circuit, then confirm the cycle isn't Air Fluff and, on gas models, that the gas valve is open and supply is on.
