Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Electrolux Dryer.

Clean the Filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. Never use the appliance without filters.

Check the Drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of dryness, clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar. This removes the slight patina formed in the drum due to detergent and softeners, allowing the probes to detect the correct degree of dryness.

Handle Electrical Connections Carefully

Ensure that electrical connections comply with installation instructions. Never use the tumble dryer if the power supply cable, control panel, working surface, or base are damaged.

Avoid Overloading

Observe recommended loading volumes to prevent issues. Delicate items should not exceed 3 kg, and ensure that laundry is adequately pre-drained.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Do not cover ventilation slots in the base area. Make sure no obstructing items or materials are near the air-intake louvers provided at the back.
