Know Your Electrolux Dryer
How Electrolux Dryers Are Built
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
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- 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?
- 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
