Know Your Frigidaire Dryer
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?
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
Frigidaire Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- Dryer making noise. Frigidaire says to fasten buckles and metal fasteners, check the drum for coins, then run an empty load; if the noise continues with the drum empty, contact service. Source: Frigidaire - Is it normal for my dryer to make sounds or noises?
- 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?
Frigidaire Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
