Electrolux Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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?
- Dryer takes too long to dry. Electrolux points first to a clean lint screen, the right heat setting, proper load size, clean moisture sensor bars, and a clear exhaust duct and hood. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
