Know Your Electrolux Dryer
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?
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
Common Electrolux Dryer Problems
- 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?
