Electrolux Dryer Lines and Features
What a Electrolux Dryer Technician Deals With
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
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- 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. Source: Electrolux - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?
