What a Electrolux Dryer Technician Deals With
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

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 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
