EFMG427UIW
Electrolux EFMG427UIW White Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner ignition: igniter glow and valve opening
- Gas shutoff and flex connector condition
- Lint buildup in the exhaust
- Steam water hose and supply
This is the gas version of the U-generation Electrolux front-load dryer, finished in white. Electrolux sold it as the EFMG427UIW with Perfect Steam and seven cycles, and the same dryer turns up in two revision builds. It has been discontinued, so most of the ones we see are older units in Houston garages and utility rooms.
A gas dryer lives or dies by its burner. We begin by watching the ignition sequence, because a dryer that spins without heat is often waiting on a weak igniter or a tired valve coil. Next we examine the gas connector and shutoff, then pull the exhaust to look for lint, since a clogged vent keeps the burner from running a full cycle.
Smell gas? Close the valve and call your gas company before anything else. Once it is safe, we check the rating plate for your revision, because it decides which parts fit. You hear the cost first, and our work is guaranteed for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
How do I know which EFMG427UIW revision I have?
The label inside the door opening lists the full number. The item shows two revision builds, so we read yours before ordering, because ignition and control parts can differ between them.
Why does the dryer start, run and stay cold?
With a gas dryer, a cold drum usually means the burner never lit or shut itself off. We check the igniter, the valve coils and the airflow limiter, and we measure vent restriction at the same time.
Is the gas dryer a different build from the electric EFME427UIW?
They share the platform and look the same, but the gas version has a burner assembly, gas valve and igniter in place of an electric element. Those are the parts we focus on first.
