Electrolux Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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?

What Columbus Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Columbus 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.
Mississippi's State Board of Contractors has no appliance repair classification; it licenses mechanical, HVAC and plumbing contractors, with residential mechanical and plumbing subcontractors required to hold a license. Source: MSBOC: Classifications
In Mississippi, you can check a license with the MSBOC Check A License or report a problem to the Mississippi Attorney General's Office, Consumer Protection Division.
Before You Book in Columbus
- Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
