Electrolux Dryer Repair – Alliance, OH (EIED55HIW0)

A customer on 11th Street in Alliance called about their Electrolux dryer that still heats up but only runs for about 5 minutes then shuts off and throws E64. When we opened it up, we found a failed heating element that was causing the thermal cutoff to trip.

The Problem

The dryer still heats up but it only runs for about 5 minutes then shuts off and throws E64 error code.

Diagnosis

The E64 error code on this Electrolux model indicates a heating element failure. The element was drawing incorrect amperage, causing the thermal protection system to shut down the unit after a few minutes of operation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134792700 — ELEMENT
• Work performed: Replaced heat element
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

Electrolux dryers are well-built machines, and heating element replacement is a common repair that typically gives you several more years of reliable service. The EIED55HIW0 model is worth fixing when the repair cost is reasonable compared to replacement.

Maintenance Tips for Electrolux Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent airflow restrictions that stress the heating element
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually — blocked vents cause overheating and premature element failure
• Don’t overload the drum, as this forces the heating element to work harder and cycle more frequently
