EFMG517STT
Electrolux EFMG517STT Front-Load Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Igniter and gas valve operation when the dryer does not heat
- Vent run, since lint chokes a gas burner
- Instant Refresh and steam water supply
- Door switch and drum start
The EFMG517STT is a front-load gas dryer with an 8.0 cu. ft. drum, Perfect Steam, Instant Refresh and eight dry cycles. The STT part of the number is the titanium finish. Electrolux has discontinued it, and we still service it regularly as an older model in homes across Houston.
If the dryer tumbles but the clothes stay cool, we check the gas side before anything else: igniter, valve coils and the safety limiter. A gas dryer also depends on a clear exhaust, so we run through the vent for lint and kinks. When steam cycles seem to do nothing, the water hose and the shutoff valve get a look.
Parts get ordered after we read your rating plate, so they match your build. The quote is yours to approve before we begin, and thirty days of workmanship coverage follows the repair. If the dryer is better replaced than repaired, we tell you plainly.

Error codes this model can show
What is wrong when the EFMG517STT is cold after a full cycle?
Usually the burner is not lighting or is shutting off early. We test the igniter, the valve coils and the safety limiter, then check the vent, since heavy lint makes a limiter trip.
Does this dryer need a gas line and a water line?
Yes to both. It burns gas for heat and draws water for the steam features. We check the gas connection for safety and the water hose and valve if steam is not working.
Is the titanium finish important for repairs?
It tells us which cosmetic parts fit, such as door trim and console pieces. Internal parts follow the model number, so we match everything to the label.
