Safety first: unplug the dryer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Electrolux E9E

Check the power supply
Plug the dryer straight into its own outlet, without an extension cord. Electrolux also suggests switching off other appliances running at the same time.
Cut the humidity
Electrolux says a small, closed room can make the dryer overheat or fill with humid air. Open a door or window while it runs.
Clean the fluff filter and heat exchanger
Clean the filter after every load, and clean the heat exchanger area as your manual shows. A clogged one pushes warm, wet air back into the machine.

When to call a technician

If the buttons still don't respond in a dry, ventilated room, a technician should check the panel harness and replace the user interface if needed.
