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.

Dryer Notes for Melrose, MA
Most dryer calls in Melrose come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

Gas piping to appliances must be done by a licensed gas fitter or a licensed master or journeyman plumber, under a permit from the local inspector, with licensing by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
