Know Your Electrolux Dryer
How Electrolux Dryers Are Built
Moisture sensor bars inside the drum can be coated by dryer-sheet residue so they stop sensing moisture, which lengthens or shortens auto cycles. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
Common Electrolux Dryer Problems
- Dryer rattling, squeaking or vibrating. Electrolux says to check pockets for coins and fasten buckles, tighten a loose pedestal, and on new installs confirm shipping bolts are removed and the dryer is level. Source: Electrolux - Laundry Dryer Noises
- 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.
