Error Code: E60 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Heating problem.
How to Fix E60 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Completely disconnect the dryer from power by unplugging it from the wall.
- Depending on your model, you may need to remove the front or rear panel to access the heating element assembly. The element is located inside a metal housing.
- Before you begin, take a picture of the wiring connected to the heating element and the thermostats on its housing.
- Carefully disconnect the wires from the terminals of the old heating element.
- Remove the screws that hold the heating element in place and slide it out of the housing.
- Insert the new heating element, ensure it is seated correctly, and secure it with the screws.
- Reconnect the wires to the new element’s terminals based on your photo, reassemble the dryer, and test the heat on a new cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
What to Check Next on This Electrolux Dryer
Focused repair path: dryer airflow, heating, motor, sensor, and control checks. Do not treat the fault as reset-only if it keeps returning; use the failed function to choose the next test.
- Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm whether the Electrolux dryer repeats the same code after a clean reset.
- Match the symptom to the part of the cycle or function that fails: fill, drain, heat, cool, spin, latch, ignite, fan, sensor, or control response.
- Inspect simple causes first: airflow, water supply, drain path, door closure, filter, venting, wiring connectors, and visible damage.
- Use meter testing or service diagnostics before replacing electronic controls, because wiring, switches, sensors, and loads can mimic board failure.
- Use the complete Electrolux dryer model number from the appliance tag before ordering any model-specific part.
Check, inspect, clean, test, measure, remove, reconnect, clear, and replace parts only when the symptom supports that path. If these checks point toward a part, verify the complete Electrolux model number from the appliance tag before ordering.

When It’s Better to Replace Than Repair
Dryer repairs are often worth it for small parts, but repeated heating, motor, drum, or control failures can point toward replacement.
Confirm gas vs electric, venting, voltage, doorway clearance, and laundry-space dimensions before ordering.
For repair parts, verify exact fit with the full dryer model number before buying; these links are general replacement-appliance shopping options.
- [OK]Thermal fuse or heater failures keep returning
- [OK]Belt, roller, or motor repairs exceed unit value
