What Makes Electrolux Dryer Repairs Different
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?
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Dryer will not start. Electrolux says to hold Start for about two seconds, make sure the door is fully closed and the cord is firmly plugged in without an extension cord, and check the fuse or breaker. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer does not start?
- 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?
