Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your Electrolux dryer depends on several factors. Age is a key consideration. If your dryer is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (typically 8-12 years), investing in a new, energy-efficient model might be more cost-effective in the long run. The cost of the repair is another crucial factor. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the price of a new dryer, replacement is often the more sensible option.

The type of problem also plays a role. Some issues, like a faulty heating element or a broken belt, are relatively straightforward and affordable to fix. However, more complex problems involving the control board or motor can be expensive. Our experienced technicians at Volt & Vector can accurately diagnose the issue and provide you with an honest assessment, helping you make the best decision for your situation.
