What Makes Electrolux Dryer Repairs Different
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 stops mid-cycle. Electrolux says an overloaded drum can overheat the motor, so let it cool about 30 minutes and dry a smaller load filling a third to half of the drum. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
- 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?
