find reset function bottons find youtube video how to reset your brand model or similar model and follow instructions on your owners manual

Either it’s not latching properly or there’s a control board issue

do you have the model number i know the door has to be open to see it,if not look at your paperwork or send a picture of dryer to see what model you have,there's just a plastic catch that holds the door closed so try lifting up and down on the door or with a screw driver and push on the handle,it should pop open,if it's a newer dryer here's a video on how to change the door around,just showing you this so you can see the parts on the door,there isn't anything electric to hold the door shut like a washer so you might have to get forceful with it

Electrolux steam dryer Questions & Answers - Fixya

The latch mechanism is not fulling grabbing and the door pops open. By bending either the door mechanism or the chassis mechanism so parts are tighter you can restore proper operation.

I appreciate your post, Lorraine McGowan!

Based off the information you have provided you have provided your Electrolux dishwasher is not working properly when the door has been shut and clicked. From what you have described it sounds like your door latch, wiring harness, or control panel could be the problem. I would highly recommend contacting a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. This will help you to avoid any unnecessary part purchases. Hope this is helpful. -Matt

Short answer - $5 door switch. I've dealt with this at least 3 times in the last 5 years on Frigidaire, Electrolux & Whirlpool dryers. I certainly hope it's the right fix action for you as well. Cheers.

Good Afternoon Brain, this is Z. I am happy to assist you!

I understand that your Electrolux dryer (CDE7700LW0) door indicates it is open and your dryer will not operate. Let's try resetting your dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is best to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn on your dryer. Select a normal cycle and verify if the dryer will start. If your appliance will not operate then it possibly have a faulty door lock assembly or a communication problem with the control board. In this regard, I would suggest contacting an Authorized Service Technician that will be able to assist you in the diagnosis of your appliance.

Hi Wendy, this is AP
I understand you want to reverse the door opening on your Electrolux dryer. I would be happy to assist you with those instructions. Are you able to provide the model number for your dryer? If this is a new dryer you may visit the manufacture website, locate your appliance, scroll down to bottom and you will see a listing of documents available, the installation instruction manual will have the reversal instructions listed. . I hope this information helps to some degree - thanks for your question, and please do not hesitate to reconnect if you have additional information regarding your question.

Thank you,

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.
