Good Morning Solubpwitc,

I understand that your Electrolux dryer, is not drying correctly. First, check the lint filter, lint trap, and the lint duct, to make sure that there is no lint slowing down the air flow in your appliance. If the air flow is blocked at all, this can cause the dryer to dry slower than usual. Secondly, make sure that your dryer is plugged into a 240 volt circuit versus a 208 volt circuit. If your appliance is plugged into a 208 volt circuit, this can cause the drying time to increase by 20% or more. Lastly, if it is very humid near your dryer, you might want to try putting a dehumidifier near your appliance. Humidity can cause the drying time to be longer as well. If you are still having trouble with your dryer not drying correctly, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine what the cause is. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-
