Frigidaire dryer displays E4A and may stop heating or shut down mid-cycle.

Safety First: Disconnect power before cleaning internal components or accessing wiring.

• Check load and settings:
  • Ensure you are not overloading the dryer.
  • Verify the correct cycle is selected (e.g., not Air Fluff for heavy wet loads).
• Clean lint filter and housing:
  • Remove and clean the lint filter.
  • Use a vacuum with a crevice tool to clean inside the lint filter housing.
• Inspect and clean exhaust vent:
  • Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and wall.
  • Use a vent brush to remove lint from the hose and wall duct.
  • Ensure the outside vent hood opens fully and is not blocked.
• Clean moisture sensor bars:
  • Locate the two metal sensor bars inside the drum (usually near the lint filter opening).
  • Clean them with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove dryer sheet residue.
• Test run:
  • Run a timed dry cycle with a normal load and check if E4A returns.
• Further checks:
  • If the problem persists, test the exhaust thermistor and moisture sensor wiring with a multimeter and replace faulty components.
