My Frigidaire Affinity Stopped Drying

No Power

• If your dryer stopped and appears to have no power, check for a power failure in the home. This can be confirmed by checking for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses in your household breaker box or fuse box. The dryer uses either two fuses or two breakers. If this is the cause of the problem, reset the breakers or replace the fuses. Dryers only function properly with time-delay fuses.

Gas Supply Problem

• If your Frigidaire dryer is one of the gas models, the cause of the drying problem may be your gas supply. It might be something as simple as the gas supply valve behind the dryer not being open, which usually only occurs right after installation. For home owners with a gas tank outside, the tank may be out of gas. Even if you do not have a personal tank, try turning on another gas appliance, such as a stove, to determine whether you have gas service. If not, contact your gas supply service provider to inquire about your gas supply problem. Once that is taken care of, your dryer should resume heating normally.

Single Blown Fuse or Bad Breaker

• If your dryer is running, but not drying, you might have a single fuse or breaker that is bad. Examining your fuse box or breaker box will confirm this. Replacing a blown fuse or resetting the breaker will restore the drying power. Only use a time-delay fuse if you have a blown fuse.

Internal Component

• It is possible the cause of your problem is internal. For example, the thermal limiter in the dryer may have tripped, which can cause this problem. If this is the case, you cannot safely fix it yourself unless you are qualified to do so. For internal component problems such as this, contact a qualified Frigidaire service professional. Service appointments can be arranged by calling 800-944-9044.
