EFME517SIW
Electrolux Perfect Steam EFME517SIW Dryer with Instant Refresh Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Instant Refresh that steams weakly or not at all
- Dryer with weak heat
- Long cycles that leave clothes damp
- Door that does not close or latch firmly
The EFME517SIW is a white electric front load dryer from the Perfect Steam line, with an 8.0 cubic foot drum, Instant Refresh and 8 cycles. Electrolux has discontinued it. We repair it and we are honest when an older dryer has reached the end of its useful life.
We take the two sides separately. For drying, we look at the vent, the lint path, the element and the safety parts. For Instant Refresh, we check the water connection and the inlet on the back. A door that does not close firmly can also stop a cycle from running, so we look at the latch and switch.
The full number from the label is noted before we order. Our estimate comes before the work, and repairs are warranted for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
Why is Instant Refresh weak or missing?
On the EFME517SIW it depends on a water supply and an inlet. If the supply is low or the inlet is clogged, the feature may do very little. We check them first.
Why does my dryer not heat well?
Poor airflow, a worn element or a safety part can reduce heat. We clear the vent and test the heating circuit while the dryer runs, so we replace only the part that fails.
Can the door latch stop a cycle?
Yes. If the latch or the door switch does not register a closed door, the dryer will not run. We test both and replace the one that failed.
