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?
Electric models have a thermal limiter that shuts the motor off on overheating and must be replaced by a technician once it trips. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
Common Electrolux Dryer Problems
- 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?
- 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?
