EFME417SIW
Electrolux Perfect Steam EFME417SIW Electric Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- No heat in a steam-equipped electric dryer
- Steam function that does not work
- Cycle that ends too soon
- Lint buildup that slows drying
The EFME417SIW is a white front load Perfect Steam electric dryer, with an 8.0 cubic foot drum and 7 cycles. The E in the middle of the number marks it as the electric one, as opposed to the EFMG in the gas models. Electrolux has discontinued it, but many remain in Houston laundry rooms.
Our first stop is airflow. A dryer with lint packed in the vent heats poorly, takes too long and shuts down early, and we see it on newer dryers as often as older ones. After airflow we check the element and the safety parts. If the steam function is not working, we check the water supply and the inlet.
We confirm the number from the label before ordering parts. The price is explained before work starts, and a finished repair carries a 30-day warranty.

Is the EFME417SIW gas or electric?
It is electric. The E in the number marks it as the electric model, so heating problems involve an element and safety parts, not a gas burner.
Why does lint matter so much?
Lint in the vent restricts airflow, which makes the dryer run hot, take longer and shut down early. It is the first thing we check and we show you what we find.
Does the SIW ending matter?
SIW is the white finish of this electric dryer. Door and trim parts follow the finish, and other versions may differ, so we check the label to match them.
