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
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?
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Dryer will not start. Electrolux says to hold Start for about two seconds, make sure the door is fully closed and the cord is firmly plugged in without an extension cord, and check the fuse or breaker. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer does not start?
- 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.
