Know Your Electrolux Dryer
How Electrolux Dryers Are Built
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 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
- 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 Gets Fixed on a Providence Dryer Call
Keeping a Electrolux Dryer Running
- 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
- Inspect and clean the entire outdoor exhaust and venting system every 18 months. Source: Electrolux - Dryers - How often do I need to clean my dryer or the lint screen/filter?
