What Makes Electrolux Dryer Repairs Different

Common Electrolux Dryer Problems
- Clothes over-dried. Electrolux recommends choosing the right cycle and temperature and using Auto Dry rather than Timed Dry. Source: Electrolux - My clothes seem to be over-dried. How can I prevent this?
- Dryer takes too long to dry. Electrolux points first to a clean lint screen, the right heat setting, proper load size, clean moisture sensor bars, and a clear exhaust duct and hood. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
Reading a Electrolux Dryer Error Code

What Alabaster Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Alabaster come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines. Source: Code of Alabama 1975, Section 34-31-18 et seq. (Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractors)
Gas fitting work in Alabama requires a state gas fitter license from the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board, which tests competency before anyone performs, supervises or contracts gas fitting. Source: About the Board - Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board
