Frigidaire Dryers have amazing features that allow you to effortlessly keep up with your family’s wardrobe changes. The large capacity and fast dry times of our newer models save on energy use and time.

Frigidaire Dryers come with a variety of dry options. Your Complete Owner’s Guide will give you more information on those applicable to your model.

Some noises are perfectly normal with your Frigidaire Laundry Center.

When the lid lock becomes engaged or disengaged, you will hear a double click sound – just locking the lid.Heavier loads occasionally cause a thumping sound at the beginning of the spin cycle – no worries!

Check for belt buckles or other fasteners on clothing items being washed or dried that may cause rattling or clanking sounds.

TIP: Fasten these items or turn your clothing inside out to reduce sounds.Check the pockets! Rattling and clanking can also be caused by loose or foreign objects such as coins in the washer tub or dryer drum.Simply stop the washer or dryer and check for any objects.

If you don’t find anything and the noises continue, try running an empty load to see if the noise persists. This will allow you to determine if the noise is coming from the washer, dryer or an article of clothing.

Specifically for your dryer:

The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period time.

The noise should go away as the dryer operates. Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some cases there may be sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system.

This is normal and can vary with the load size.

If your Frigidaire Laundry Center was recently installed, here are few things to note:

Specifically for gas models, make sure the gas supply valve is open and the dryer has enough air supply to support the burner flame.

Electric models should be connected a 240 volt circuit. If your electric dryer is connected to a 208 volt circuit, your drying times will be increased 20%.

Check your installation instructions for more information.

Additional tips to try:

Check that you have selected the appropriate temperature setting for your load. If you load is too big, it will take longer for your clothes to dry.

Check that your dryer has proper ventilation.Clean the lint filter after every use. Do not use the dryer on your laundry center if the lint filter is blocked, damaged or missing.

Ensure the exhaust duct is not restricted. Make sure to leave room for the items in the dryer to tumble freely so you can avoid damp areas on your clothing. It’s recommended to fill the drum 1/3 to ½ full. This also helps reduce wrinkling.

Drying times may also be increased in areas with high humidity.

Most alarms or beeps are designed to alert of you of changes in your Laundry Center or an action on your part is required. Here are some normal operating beeps or blinking lights:

For the washer:

Beep(s) will occur when you select your washing cycles and settings for each loadBeep(s) will occur when you Pause a laundry load and the display will blink “Close Washer Lid” will illuminate if the washer lid is open.

Just close the washer lid before starting the washer.“Balance Load” will illuminate if the wash load is unbalanced in the tub during the wash cycle. Pause the washer and redistribute the wash load.

For the dryer:

Beep(s) will occur when you start a drying cycle before the drum begins to rotate.Beep(s) will occur when you Pause a laundry load. “Close Dryer Door” will illuminate if the dryer door is open. Just close the dryer door before starting the dryer. “Clean Lint” will illuminate and in some models blink after EACH drying cycle.

Clean the lint filter after every use. “Clean Lint” may remain blinking as part of normal operations even after you have cleaned the filter.

For the washer:

To prevent odors, remove clothing from the washer promptly. Feel free to use a damp cloth or mild soap and water to clean the top and sides of the laundry center.

Be sure to avoid hard, gritty or abrasive cleanser. Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening and the underside of the lid to prevent often to avoid moisture build-up.

When possible, to help prevent odors and humidity accumulation, leave the lid open for a little bit of time or when not in use.

When washing heavily soiled items, shake or brush off excess dirt or sand before putting in the washer. A dirty residue may remain in the tub, simply wipe it with a non-abrasive household cleaner, and then use the RINSE ONLY cycle.

For the dryer:

Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times.

Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. Simply wash the filter with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and put back in the dryer.

DO NOT use the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Every 18 months, it is recommended to have a qualified service personnel clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up can result in reduced drying performance.

For descriptions of each cycle settings and options…and when best to use, check out your Owner’s manual for more information.

Always remember to check that the lint filter is clean and in place! Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the dryer drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.

TIP: If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it “inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place the item back in the dryer and re-start cycle. You will also easily find solutions to common drying inquiries such as piling, shrinking and wrinkling.

Getting to know your Frigidaire Laundry Center is pretty simple!

First, once you have loaded your washer or dryer and closed the lid/door, turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to your desired cycle. In some models the indicator for your selection will be illuminated.

For the washer:

1. You are now ready to press the WASH TEMP button to cycle through wash water temperatures until the desired temperature is selected.
2. Press the WATER LEVEL button to select your wash water level.
3. And finally, press START/PAUSE to begin. Your laundry center may beep. You may also hear your lid lock on the washer with a click sound.

For the dryer:

1. You are now ready to select the temperature setting most suitable for your load.
2. And then, press START/PAUSE to begin. If you need to add a forgotten item to your laundry load, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle – you may hear a beep.
3. Wait for the washer tub or dryer drum to stop and the lid lock to release (if you are adding to your washer). Add the item and then close the washer lid or dryer door and press START/PAUSE again to continue.

TIP: If you need to change your settings after the cycle has started, you will need to CANCEL the wash or dry cycle. You may hear a beep, wait for the washer tub or dryer drum to come to a stop and the lid lock to disengage (on your washer).

You can then re-select your cycle, wash or dry temp and/or water level. Don’t forget to press START/PAUSE once you are ready to begin.

There probably is simple solution to getting your Frigidaire Laundry Center running as it should.

Whether your unit was just installed or you have been using for a while, we recommend checking the following:

Ensure the power cord fits tightly in the wall outlet and you are getting power to your washer. If no power, check to ensure a house fuse isn’t blown or the circuit breaker tripped.

Your Frigidaire Laundry Center should be on its own circuit breaker and not shared with other outlets or appliances.

Check to make sure the water supply faucets are turned on.Make sure the unit is level.If everything checks out okay – let’s try these tips:

Check the lid. Make sure the washer lid and/or dryer door are closed – laundry center will not start if the lid or door is open. Press Start. Don’t forget to press the START/PAUSE button after making your selections. Load sensing.

With most Frigidaire Laundry Centers, the first 2 minutes of the cycle are spent sensing the size of the load so you may not hear the water filling right away. Water will start to enter the tub once the sensory cycle is complete. Cycle may be paused. If the cycle initially started but appears to have stopped, your washer may just be in a pause stage. This is perfectly normal, a pause will occur between the Wash and Spin cycles with an additional pause during the Soak cycle.
