Incident: We purchased a dryer in DEC 2019. An Electrolux 8 cu ft dryer (Model EFME627UTT0). While using the dryer in a regular cycle t hi is week we heard a loud bang followed by smoke and noxious fumes. The dryer immediately lost power and was rendered unusable. It wasn�t until Aug 9th when the repair person came that we found the control board had burned up! We have the burned parts as well as photographs. Electrolux has been awful to deal with citing the fact that we did not purchase an extended warranty and saying there is absolutely nothing they can do short of selling me parts to repair it or helping me purchase a new one. This is a HUGE SAFETY concern and they are very much not interested in helping us find a resolution. Thankfully we were home to turn off the breaker and the burning stayed confined to the dryer itself and did not spread beyond.

Incident: Severe product defect. High-resistance connection at the main wiring harness resulted in an electrical arc, melting the plastic housing and welding the heater relay shut. The dryer experienced a thermal runaway event, continuing to heat aggressively while completely turned off and idle, creating an active fire/smoke hazard that required emergency manual disconnection from the 240V wall outlet to prevent a structure fire.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260217-3BE08-2147323461. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Electrolux EFME627UTT (A home clothes dryer.). Incident: This has been happening for several years. It happened again recently and I thought to report it. It came to mind again yesterday when the washing machine we bought at the same time caused a flood in our laundry room and basement that we are waiting for a repair man to come and take ea look at. These appliances have been a constant and ongoing NIGHTMARE. They've been garbage. Our Electrolux clothing dryer has on many occasions had the lint screen pop out of it's spot in the dryer during the drying cycle. It pops out and then the opening gets filled with items of clothing. I came to this website to see if it has been recalled thinking surely it had and I do not see where it has. I'm so surprised we haven't had a fire. We dont use the dryer when we are not home (set it and leave--we don't do it) and I pay attention when the dryer is going. If i hear a BANG BANG BANG thenI know that the lint screen has popped out and is bouncing around inside the dryer.
