Know Your Electrolux Dryer
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
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?
Common Electrolux Dryer Problems
- 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
- Dryer stops mid-cycle. Electrolux says an overloaded drum can overheat the motor, so let it cool about 30 minutes and dry a smaller load filling a third to half of the drum. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
What Electrolux Dryer Codes Mean

Care Electrolux Recommends for Its Dryers

- Use an approved exhaust hood with a swing-out damper, never put a screen over the opening, and keep the hood at least 12 inches above the ground; gas dryers must vent outdoors. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time

What Pittsburgh Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Pittsburgh 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.
