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?
