Frigidaire Dryer Lines and Features
How Frigidaire Dryers Are Built
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
- Clothes take too long to dry. Frigidaire points to a dirty lint screen, a clogged exhaust duct, residue on the moisture sensor bars, poor ventilation in a closet install, or a 208-volt supply. Source: Frigidaire - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
- 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?
When to Call for Frigidaire Dryer Repair
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
- Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs

Keeping a Frigidaire Dryer Running

- Clean the lint screen before or after every load and occasionally wash it in warm, soapy water, letting it dry fully before reinstalling. Source: Frigidaire - Dryers - How often do I need to clean my dryer or the lint screen/filter?
