If your dryer is not drying clothes effectively, it may be due to the following:
If your dryer is not turning on or powering up, consider the following:
If your dryer is not heating up but the drum is spinning, the problem could be:
To clean the lint filter:
It is important to clean the lint filter after every load. A CLEAN LINT message will appear on the LED display at the end of the cycle to remind you to remove lint from the filter.
You may hear various normal operating sounds from your dryer:
If you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises, it could indicate a mechanical breakdown. In such cases, you should contact a qualified technician immediately as continued use could lead to fire or serious injury.
If your dryer runs but won't heat, consider the following:
If your dryer is taking a long time to dry clothes, it may be due to the following:
To unlock the controls from control lock mode, scroll to the control lock option again and then press select.
If your dryer is shaking, it may not be level. To ensure stability during operation, adjust the leveling legs so the dryer is level from front-to-rear and side-to-side, and sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs.
If your dryer is leaking water, check the following:
The dryer may shut off unexpectedly if the thermal limiter switch(es) automatically turn off the motor in the event of an overheated situation. A service technician must replace the thermal limiter switch(es) after correcting the fault.
A CLEAN LINT message will appear on the LED display at the end of the cycle to remind you to remove the lint from the filter.
The entire dryer exhaust system, including the vent hose, should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with normal usage by a qualified service professional. If the dryer is used more frequently, you should check the exhaust system and vent hood more often for obstructions.
Yes, the Electrolux 300 Series dryer can be stacked with a matching washer using an Optional Stacking Kit for Mounting on Matching Washer. However, do not stack a dryer on top of a washer already installed on a pedestal, nor stack a washer on top of a dryer or another washer.
For an electric dryer:
For a gas dryer:
To prevent wrinkles:
The dryer must be connected to an outdoor exhaust. The entire dryer exhaust system needs to be clean and free of lint and debris. It requires 4 inch (102 mm) diameter rigid metal or semi-rigid metal duct and an approved vent hood with a swing-out damper. Flexible plastic or flexible foil venting materials are not permitted, nor are screens, rivets, or other fasteners that extend into the duct at the exhaust ends.
To use the DelicateCare setting for sensitive fabrics:
The Electrolux 300 Series dryer is designed with options to help save energy. The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for energy efficiency and defaults to normal temperature, normal dryness level, and the eco mode option (if available). Cycles that use the least amount of heat save the most energy. You can save energy by using the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and a less dry setting (auto dry cycles) to prevent over-drying. The eco option specifically reduces the drying temperature a few degrees to save energy, and in conjunction with automatic moisture sensors, overall energy usage will decrease.
Normal operating sounds for your dryer may include:
Sensor drying technology, referred to as Auto dry cycles, works by using moisture sensors to sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. The load will then be automatically dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Models with the Predictive Dry feature use the first 90 seconds of Auto Dry cycles to sense the load.
