A real case from Warsaw: dryer heating element replacement
Client in Żoliborz: Electrolux: drum turning, fan working, but laundry still wet after an hour. The element had an open circuit, and the thermal fuse was also blown (one-shot type). Tradespeople replaced both. The air duct was 70% clogged with lint: that was the real cause. Cleaned it. Test run — laundry dry in 50 min. One hour. Tip: if the element burns out, always inspect the duct too, otherwise the new element can overheat as well.
