Electrolux Dryer Lines and Features
How Electrolux Dryers Are Built
An electric Electrolux dryer is fed by two house circuits, so if one breaker trips or fuse blows the drum still turns but the heater does not work. Source: Electrolux - My dryer is running, but does not seem to be heating. What should I do?
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
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- 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?
- 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?
Electrolux Dryer Error Codes

Local Notes for Oakdale
Most dryer calls in Oakdale come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
