Electrolux Dryer Lines and Features
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?
Running an electric Electrolux dryer on 208 volts instead of 240 volts increases drying time, and heat pump models dry somewhat slower by design. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
Electrolux Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 runs but does not heat. Electrolux says to check both house breakers or fuses, make sure Air Fluff or a no-heat setting isn't selected, confirm 240V supply, and on gas models confirm the gas valve is open or the LP tank isn't empty.
