Know Your Electrolux Dryer
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?
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?
- Dryer rattling, squeaking or vibrating. Electrolux says to check pockets for coins and fasten buckles, tighten a loose pedestal, and on new installs confirm shipping bolts are removed and the dryer is level. Source: Electrolux - Laundry Dryer Noises
