Why is my Electrolux 6000 not heating up?

  If your Electrolux Dryer isn't producing heat, here's what you can do: Start by pressing the Pause Cancel and SELECT buttons for 6 seconds to exit any test modes. Next, set the cycle selector to NORMAL, the temperature selector to HIGH HEAT, and press START. Inspect for common causes of no heat, such as a restricted vent, a broken or loose blower fan blade, the dryer being installed in a closet with a solid door, a bad connection in the moisture sensor bar circuit, or dirty bars. If the dryer then operates normally but the problem returns, you may need to replace the electronic control.

  Teresa SmithAug 2, 2025
  If the drying time for a cycle on your Electrolux Dryer is longer than expected, try this: First, press the Pause Cancel and SELECT buttons for 6 seconds to exit test modes. Then, set the cycle selector to NORMAL, the temperature selector to HIGH HEAT, and press START. Check for issues that could extend drying times, such as no heat, a blocked vent, a damaged or loose blower fan blade, the dryer being installed in a closet with a solid door, a poor connection in the moisture sensor bar circuit, or dirty bars. If the dryer then works normally but the issue returns, consider replacing the electronic control.

The Electrolux Professional Line 6000 Tumble Dryers are designed for efficient and professional laundry care, offering robust performance and user-friendly features. These tumble dryers are built to handle various laundry needs, ensuring garments are dried effectively while maintaining their quality. The design emphasizes durability and ease of use, making them suitable for demanding environments.

Function Description

The primary function of the Line 6000 Tumble Dryers is to efficiently dry laundry. They are equipped with advanced drying technologies to ensure even drying and prevent damage to fabrics. The machines feature a control panel that allows users to select various drying programs and monitor the drying process. Specific models may include a Residual Moisture Control (RMC) system, which automatically detects the moisture level of the garments and adjusts the drying time accordingly, optimizing energy consumption and preventing over-drying. Heat pump models are also available, offering enhanced energy efficiency by reusing heat generated during the drying cycle. The dryers are designed to handle different load sizes and fabric types, providing flexibility for various laundry requirements. Safety features are integrated to protect both the user and the machine, such as overheat protection and door interlocks.

Usage Features

Operating the Line 6000 Tumble Dryers is straightforward, with a focus on user convenience. Users can easily load laundry into the drum and select the desired program via the control knob. The machine provides clear notifications and error messages to guide the user through operation and troubleshooting. For instance, if the second lint filter is not clean or is damaged, a notification will appear, prompting the user to address the issue. Similarly, if the door gaskets are not clean or if the air intake is obstructed, the machine will indicate these problems.

The control panel allows for easy program selection, and in case of an anomaly, the machine provides specific instructions. For example, if an "Inlet air over heat protection has cut out" error (12:1) occurs, the user is instructed to switch off power and contact authorized service. For a "condense water tank has not been drained" error (12:8), the user should turn the machine off and on again, check the condensate pump, and if the issue persists, contact service. Models with RMC systems will indicate if garments are not dry within the maximum drying time (12:11, 12:12, 12:13), prompting the user to check for overloading or to open the door to reset the error. Gas models have specific error codes for flame sensor issues (12:14), guiding the user to reset the message and check the gas supply. Heat pump models have error codes related to blocked air flow (12:19) or critical internal errors (17:20, 17:21), requiring lint filter cleaning or power cycling.

The machine also provides instructions for common operational issues, such as redistributing the load in the drum if a vacuum switch has deactivated several times (12:18). Overheated drum or fan motors (20:1, 30:1) require a 30-minute cool-down period before the error can be cleared. These detailed instructions help users quickly resolve minor issues and maintain continuous operation.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of the Line 6000 Tumble Dryers. The user maintenance guide outlines several routine checks and cleaning procedures.

Daily Maintenance:

Lint Filter Cleaning: The most frequent maintenance task is cleaning the lint filter. Users should remove lint from the filter, even after every cycle, especially during intensive use. This prevents blockages and ensures efficient drying.
Door Gaskets: Check that the door gaskets are clean and not damaged. Clean gaskets ensure a proper seal, preventing heat loss and maintaining drying efficiency.
Air Intake: Verify that the air intake is not obstructed by dirt and clean it if necessary. A clear air intake is essential for proper airflow and machine performance.
Drain and Drain Pipe (for heat pump models): Ensure that the drain and drain pipe are not obstructed. This is vital for the proper functioning of heat pump models.

Weekly Maintenance:

Second Lint Filter: When a notification is displayed, users should check that the second lint filter is clean and not damaged. This secondary filter provides an additional layer of protection against lint accumulation.

Every 3 Months Maintenance:

Drum Surface Cleaning: Clean the surface of the drum with citric acid. If necessary, an abrasive sponge can be used, ensuring that all residues are removed. This helps maintain the drum's hygiene and prevents residue buildup that could affect laundry.

External Cleaning:

The external surfaces should be washed with warm, soapy water. It is important to avoid detergents containing abrasive substances, steel wool, brushes, or steel scrapers. After washing, rinse with a damp cloth and dry carefully. Chlorine or ammonia-based products should not be used. The control panel should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water and, if necessary, a neutral detergent. Direct or high-pressure water jets should not be used on the equipment.
Electrolux Professional strongly recommends using approved cleaning agents, rinse, and descaling agents to achieve better results and maintain product efficiency over time. Damages resulting from the use of non-approved cleaning agents are not covered by the warranty.

Planned Maintenance Programmes:

For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended that authorized Electrolux Professional engineers undertake regular service every 12 months, in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Users should contact their local Electrolux Professional Service Centre for details on available service agreements.

The manual also suggests various accessories and consumables to enhance the user experience, such as dryer balls, soft care sheets for softening and scenting laundry, canvas trolleys, stainless steel trolleys, bulk transport carts, and brushes with chains for cleaning. These items are designed to complement the tumble dryers and support efficient laundry operations.
