Know Your Electrolux Dryer
What a Electrolux Dryer Technician Deals With
An electric Electrolux dryer is fed by two house circuits, so if one breaker trips or fuse blows the drum still turns but the heater does not work. Source: Electrolux - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?
Moisture sensor bars inside the drum can be coated by dryer-sheet residue so they stop sensing moisture, which lengthens or shortens auto cycles. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
