PM me and I'll give you a contact to a good repair shop. I just got back my dryer and it's working nicely.

There's a original Electrolux stacking kit (with drawer) that supports the dryer. But of course, concrete top is the best option.

This stacking kit was recommended by Electrolux's customer service when I asked about it. Yeah, my dryer fits into it nicely.

The dryer is quite stable, rare shakes. So putting onto concrete slab would be fine. If you can, try to make indentation at the 4 point where the studs would be, so they are interlocked.

Attached was the email replied by Electrolux Malaysia. So if the dryer fell after using the kit, sue them.

Electrolux Malaysia or dealer selling Electrolux... and many other brands?

Yes, same.

And also as seen on Electrolux catalog. But I don't have it anymore

I missed the top part of the email replied by Electrolux Malaysia.

Clothes shrinking is not the fault of dryer. Don't use too hot setting.

Contact Electrolux Malaysia. I think I've stated this above.

Pause and loosen then then continue. Probably the clothes all stuck at 1 side of the drum. Very common for top load.

If you're lucky, it'd only spoil within the warranty period. If after, it will cost you.

I own the 9kg model. Get warranty extension if you could, just to have peace of mind.

Drying cycle varies. It detects dampness on clothes too. Usually 2 hrs for cotton. Less for the rest.

Heat pump consumes the least amount of electricity in term of dryers. So don't worry much about the bill.

Get a more warranty extension from more reliable store. Cross fingers that it doesn't have problem.

All the best! I still love my driver, but it's in workshop now. 🤣

Would the savings be worth the cost of the new machine?

Don't run the other appliance when using the dryer. 13A should suffice for vented dryer.

Though if you look at it from pollution point of view, heat pump would be better cause it recirculate the heated air instead of creating/releasing it into the atmosphere.

There are a few more heat pump models out there from different brand. Do more research.

Since I'm speaking from own experience. I don't wished to see anyone else having the same predicament as me. Aside from that, Electrolux's after sales support isn't great too. Maybe try brand with good after sales service with more leniency on warranty claims.

Good luck!

Less than a year then claim warranty. If spoiled right after warranty only grants you rights to rant. 😛

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

And there are many still thinks airing the clothes to dry is good for the fabric. Until when it's gonna rain and the clothes all wet. Have to rewash. Like my friend, won't want to get a dryer.

There are quite a number of brands selling heat pump dryers, Panasonic, Electrolux, Beko and Bosch, just to name a few.

Personally, my Electrolux 9kg heat pump has been giving me lots of problem, shortly after warranty period ended. Unless you could get 5 yrs or more on warranty, I'd say, avoid Electrolux at all cost.

But then again, 8kg wise, I've only seen Electrolux's.

Good luck in your hunt. Otherwise, heat pump is the way to go, despite higher cost. It's greener compared to other.

Energy consumption should be about half of condenser type, which is a good improvement, in term of efficiency.

Looks good. Another heat pump dryer in the market.

PS: I'm not associated with LG. If and when my Electrolux rosak, I might get this pair.

My Electrolux Heat Pump dryer motor konk again. Really bolat.

The motor was replaced less than 6 months ago.

Mine has that filter from Step 6-11. Vacuuming doesn't really help. Those dust sorta stuck to those blades. I think need professional to clean it.

Wait for technician (3rd party) to come and check.

Should I swap it with my washer and risk spoiling my washer instead?
