However, if your dryer is still under warranty, contact a Frigidaire associate first to make sure that your actions will not void the warranty.

Instructions

    • 1

      Reset the "Start" button, ensure the dryer knob is not positioned between settings and make sure the dryer door is completely closed. Verify that electricity is running to the appliance.

    • 2

      Give your dryer a half-hour break and reduce the amount of clothes in the drum. Keep the drum no more than half full, which will put less stress on the motor.

    • 3

      Clean out your lint trap and remove any hard items around the edge of the drum. The problem could be as simple as some loose change getting stuck inside.

    • 4

      Increase the amount of electricity that is powering the drum. The circuit should be pumping 240 volts of power into your dryer for optimum performance.

    • 5

      Check for blockages in the exhaust ducts and other ventilation pipes, which may be affecting the drum.
