EFDE210TIW 24" Electric Front Load Dryer with 4 cu. ft. Capacity IQ Touch Controls Gentle Dry Delay Start Stainless Steel Tub in White

I bought this Front Load Compact Dryer with IQ-Touch® Controls - 4.0 Cu. Ft. because my old dryer died, and the depth of our space wouldn't accommodate any of the new full-sized dryers on the market. My washer is a full size Electrolux, which I like just fine, but THIS DRYER -- is horrible. Turns out, if you dry ANYthing with ANY sort of elastic-type component, it 1) fills your home with toxic fumes, 2) apparently can self combust! (info that is BURIED somewhere in the text of the 'how to' pamphlet.) I start with a full batch of clothes in the washer, then remove ALL elasticized long johns, pajama bottoms, turtlenecks, synthetic fabrics, bottoms sheets, (forget under-garments) . . . and I end up with a small, quick drying batch of cotton towels. AND, nothing, I mean NOTHING should touch this dryer while it's on, because it gets so hot (info also buried somewhere in the text.) WHY BOTHER WITH A DRYER??? A clothesline is much simpler, and SAFER, too.Post dated comment: I have figured it out. Even removing everything that could possibly cause a problem, if you run this thing for more than 40 minutes, OR do multiple batches in close succession, THE DRYER ITSELF off-gases noxious fumes. The water tank that receives the SCALDING HOT water from the drying clothes, along with the encasement around the tank are PLASTIC. I not only would not recommend this product to anyone, I would advise, for health reasons, NOT to buy it. It is a lovely concept that was not tested enough, or thought through thoroughly enough to have been unleashed upon unsuspecting buyers. DO NOT BUY.

My Electrolux dryer is less than a year old, still under warranty and I have been waiting over 6 weeks to get it repaired, Service from Electrolux (Frigidaire) is horrible. I cannot get a response by phone or internet. The local people sent to repair have ordered almost every part that could be ordered but they don't have a clue how to fix this machine and are now ignoring my calls! No one will help me resolve this issue and meanwhile I am going to a public laundromat to get my clothes dried. I am 75 years old, have interstitial lung disease, diabetes and kidney disease. Electrolux has ignored me and I am putting my health in extreme danger because of a lack of customer service. DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS!
