Inside the Electrolux Washtower | Service Technician's First Impressions

[@sue8539]

I just my Electrolux 600 series from Costco. I used it right away. I am impressed with how clean was whites was.

[@jstevenintexas]

I just installed mine about a week ago and it’s been great. However, I don’t recall opening it up and taking out the styrofoam thing. I’m guessing I should probably do that?

[@JuliePfieffer-b8g]

I previously had an LG that had a front filter to clean out. My Electrolux tower was delivered last week. I have been searching for the drain clean out? Does it have one?

[@angelamurphy9472]

Yes! Where is the CLEAN OUT???

[@foodiegal9923]

I’ve had mine for 6 months. I already have an issue with draining. On occasion, it will not drain all the way (at the end of the spin cycle). Did some research and was told there could be a clog and it should be cleaned out. I saw one video that showed the clean out on the back of the machine, bottom left. I can’t find the video but I need step by step instructions on how to get to it. FYI- I called warranty to have it serviced and the technician said these machines were new to him, he wasn’t even sure how to address my drainage issue.

[@mypriusisfaster]

There's no filter. You get in from the back and remove the drain hose attached to the drum. It has a large plastic cage in the hose to block big things going through.

[@heatheraustin3404]

Where is the washing machine filter? I think I lost a ring in the machine and cannot find the filter.

Hello Steve i have an Electrolux Front Load Washer model EFLS627UTT0 which earlier this week, I went to run the clean cycle and came back 20min later to see that nothing had initiated as the cleaning tablet was still dry in the tub. Needless to say I ran the diagnostics and an E57 error came up. I called a service technician that suggested its motor related and to contact Electrolux to inquire about their 10yr warranty on the motor. Now I saw another KZbin video that suggested E57 could require a new "Motor Board" vs a new motor etc. Do you have any experience troubleshooting E57? I have a couple of certified Electrolux technicians coming next Tuesday to diagnose and then tell me the cost to fix with whatever the issue is. Had to pay for 2 techs because of the stack of the dryer on top. I live in a condo and the units are in a laundry closet. Would be interested to hear from you if you have experience with E57 to resolve.

Hey Blake. Have you ever needed to change rollers on this dryer platform? Not easy.

[@gregholmes3661]

Blake is full of it, that combo unit is nothing more then a painin the Aston work on.

[@CaronJones-q2z]

Does the washer have a direct drive motor or is it a belt? I know the dryer has a belt but I'm wondering about the washer. Thanks

[@ps4402]

What are your thoughts on the Electrolux heat pump dryers?

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Which ones? We have a compact heat pump dryer, but hoping for a full size option soon.

[@elenabar1983]

so the difference between stackable series 6 and a tower is just the size ?

[@yvettedavis7078]

What is the capacity of the washer and dryer in this video

[@jeffgough]

I’m confused. You say it’s “a miniaturized version” of the front loading washer and dryers. But they have the same exterior dimensions as buying separate with a stack kit and also have the same washer and dryer cubic footage (4.5’ and 8’ respectively).

[@gregholmes3661]

That unit is fine to work on out in the middle of the floor, put it in a closet inside a drain pan then let me know what you think of it.

[@dkn91]

thank you for the review. I am debating between this and a) getting a separate washer and dryer Electrolux 600 series OR b) LG washtower WKEX200. what are your thoughts on this?

[@kflowers8276]

Dryer just gave out and am making the same consideration.

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

Get the LG. More reliable overall and most importantly, pump filter access. Electrolux lacks it. Meaning if a sock or some coins get lost… yikes.

[@jeffgough]

I have the same question. Is there really any benefit with these washtowers (all-in-one) vs buying the separate washer and dryer with a stack kit? Are they more stable because of their connection?

[@laurenhayes2768]

@@Ikey04-ge9gy I had my LG washtower for 3 years and i was just told the repair it needs is going to cost me 1600 to fix. would not recomend

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

What’s the issue with it?? Rare to see Lg units kick the bucket that early

[@richardmckrell4899]

The width and depth of the washtower are the same as the separate units 27" & 32". Does not seem like it saves any space. Can't you just stack the separate units?

[@ronaldfurtado9111]

Blake, we just bought a ELTG7300AW the problem I'm have is when spin is complete and transferer load to dryer it won't start I have to wiggle around to get board to light up. Have you came across this before love the unit now if can solve this?

[@angelamurphy9472]

WHERE IS THE WASHER CLEAN-OUT??? Please show how you clean it.

[@BoulevardHome]

This machine does not include a clean-out. In face most electrolux front loads don't have one. That is one if the biggest draw backs.

[@julianielson194]

I had both a 300 then 600 electric dryer series tower installed and both times found aa approx 3/4” flat metal washer on the floor where they unpackaged it…should I be concerned? They both worked after..thx!

[@deanmiller5433]

The two screws that he showed removing on the front of dryer after opening the dryer door does not disconnect the front of the dryer. He must have done something else.

[@charlesreitsma4233]

Those are all the screws. You have to lift it fa bit to release it from the pins.

[@kirstenc9653]

Hi, we bought a scratch and dent unit that was supposedly tested as working, but the dryer doesn’t appear to be getting any power or at least anyway it won’t turn on. Do you have any suggestions for us to try?

[@YMDExperts]

I have the same problem

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

These seem nice but compared to the LG it seems a little less service friendly. Especially the lack of a pump filter.
