Quick Answer
Error code E62 on your Electrolux Dryers means: Overheating - Temperature Exceeded Safe Limit. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. Dryer exhaust vent is severely clogged with lint, restricting airflow
  2. Cycling thermostat has failed and is not turning off the heater at the set temperature
  3. Felt drum seal is worn allowing hot air to recirculate instead of exhausting
  4. Blower wheel is broken or lint-clogged, not providing adequate airflow
How to Fix It
1
Immediately clean the entire dryer exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside wall termination
2
Clean the lint screen housing slot using a long flexible brush to remove trapped lint below the screen
3
Inspect the blower wheel for lint buildup, cracks, or broken blades and clean or replace as needed
4
Test the cycling thermostat for proper operation; it should open at its rated temperature
5
Check the drum seals (front and rear felt strips) for excessive wear that could cause air leakage
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
