SOURCE: My Dryer is turning on
The problem is a broken drive belt or it has slipped off the idler pulley. Disconnect power then remove the rear access panel and reinstall the drive belt over the motor and idler pulleys. If the drive belt cannot be reinstalled from the rear access panel or if it has been broken and needs to be replaced, you have to tear down the dryer from the top to the front panel.
Remove the screws attaching the to panel to the rear of the dryer then slide the panel rearward and off. Remove the screws holding the control panel to the inside of the dryer cabinet then lift up and roll it forward. Remove the screws securing the top of the front panel to the cabinet then lean the panel forward and disconnect the door switch wire harness. Lift up on the panel and set it aside.
Remove the front bulkhead then take the drum out through the front. Install the drive belt around the drum then over the motor and idler pulleys. Put the dryer back together in reverse order of the tear down process.
Hey friend, I appreciate your post!
I understand that you are trying to remove the top from your Electrolux dryer. Could you provide me the model number please? With that information I can better assist you. You can locate your serial tag (which lists your model number) on the inside of the door. I look forward to better assisting you. -Matt
Check Outlet Thermal Limiter for continuity. For Gas Model, also
check Inlet Thermal Limiter for continuity. If Thermal Limiter is open,
check for evidence of high temperature event and any resulting damage...
If no further damage is evident, replace Thermal Limiter
Hello Elizabeth P Cochran - Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and restart unit. If the door does not open, then it sounds like the washer is possibly experiencing a communication problem with the control board, wiring failure or faulty door lock. Contact a professional to move forward accurately to properly diagnose/repair unit.
