Your Model . . . . .Electrolux . . ..
EDP2074PDW
On those models those 60 series of error codes tie into relating to a heating error.
With the ultimate worst possibilities being an EXPENSIVE no- no if it actually IS being compressor related !
Is the unit now in enough of a run state to tell if the compressor in and out tubings are getting cool and warm . . . . if it starts running a drying cycle ??
SINCE this design of unit is not being the old school design . . . . blower forced cool air over an upwards of a 2000 watt nichrome wire coil /bands for the heating to the rotating clothes drum.
Instead, it has a complete heat pump with compressor, cap tube refrigerant control and finned condenser assembly plus the same finned treatment of the evaporator asembly.
A double blower . . . one on each end of the inverter powered variable speed high tech magnetic field 3 phase motor . . . creates adjustable air flow over both the condenser (hot) finned coil assembly and the evaporator (cold) finned assembly.
The hot air is driven in to dry the clothes and the outputted humid air with its resultant heat latency passes over the evaporator assembly to be absorbed by the fins and cooled.
Condensed water vapor from the cooling fins yields water on them which run down to a water reservior via gravity to collect. A level actuated water pump will occassionaly kick on to fill up the top of the units larger reservoir. That larger water reservoir then receives /
NEEDS a timely emptying.
You should also find these family / types of Clothes Dryer units priced upwards to just below $1,000 . . .or sometrimes less . . .if you have a Yiddish accent . . . . . . .Yo, such a deal already !
PAUSE. . . .
Now, think about it . . . free distilled water for you for (
ITS) lifetime . . .babycakes !
Or do a taste test to see if being orally potable or if its also needing further micro porous 5u filtering + activated charcoal treatment .
Me . . . . I only use (my air conditioners condensant water) for my clothes steam iron, water boiling pot or lead cell battery water addage.
RESTART . . . .
Now, consider that . . . a refrigerated air conditioner / heat pump needs some run time to get chilled down for you . . . but here . . .we are interested in the HOT air emanating from the condenser fins.
So o o o o o this unit also incorporates a LESSER electrical heating assembly of only 600 watts.
That is what you are showing in the picture, with a parts house calling it a heater assembly BUT within the Electrolux parts referencing, it is only marked as being an item 14 "auxillary condenser" .
And I see no reference to its electrical connectivity within the Electrolux main wiring harness diagram, but on page 10/67 one can positively see its physical presence .
'ERE'S VAT I AM VANTINK TO THANKS . . . . .
In your searcing for cleanup within the hot air flow path . . .be sure that the heat thermal sensing probe . . . item 4 or 8 in accordance to your machine wiring . pages 15/67 or page 16/68 . . . does not now have an insulative cooling blanket of lint around and within its flow cavity that it is sampling.

What I can see . . . are the multiple criss-cross nichrome strips . . .vice using coils . . .within a pressed micalex housing that is inserted within the heated air flow of the machine.
Their heating rating is only 600 watts so this unit is only for supplemental hot air heating being kicked in if needing or for the creation of minor dryer heat production
prior to the heat pump getting up to heating specs.
Then it can be electrically cycled on or off . . . in accordance to detected heat requirements . . of the units thermister probe sensor..
On your heater assembly, I see the Klixxon family /design of thermostat that either electrically opens circuit or closes circuit at a specified air overflow temperature.
TESTING . . . ( You
DO want to confirm something definitive . . . all for free . . . don't you
?
Now . . . you take Ohmmeter in hand and put it in its ohms function and lowest range . . . if not being auto ranging. Then look at the metering displayed . . . that is being an open circuit . . . short the test leads together . . .that, or CLOSE to it, (test lead lengths ohmmage) is a shorted circuit.
Pull one wires push on connector . . . . or even both from the thermostat and measure across the two thermo spade terminals.
That will give our initial expectation of its action . . . . it would be nice , if it's now reading as a closed / shorted circuit.
PHOTO . . . of the inside BUSINESS / temp sensing end of that unit
Now we just have to COMMANDEER Mamma Cass's or
insignificant Others ? blow drier and use it to direct a high heat stream of air into the duct, as close as its physically possible to reach the thermo sensing disc end.
With ohmmeter monitoring across its terminals . . . .during a heating up . . . usually its noisy enought to be able to hear a bimetallic themal disc . . .
CLICK . . . to its other mechanical condition and activate its alternate switch action. . . . to open circuit if you found it being initially closed while cold. ( Or vice versa.)
If generated heat was not great enough ? . . . a bit more heat can be cranked out by a partial /incremental finger covering of the blow dryers air intake ports.
Ask for a further more refined procedure, if a switchover state success testing is not met
Next feedback after thermo inspection, as is being confirmed by you, is to examine the plug at the end of the heater assembly.
I need full accountability of potentially, how the two ? three wires from the heater portion and two wires from the thermostat are being inter- wired together.
There is being a possible wire color transition inside of the unit witth the two thermostat wires.
Inter resistance readings between the
Red-Blu-Wh wires are also needed.
Gleaned from your post
#1 PHOTO . . .
I see two smaller black wires on the 5 pin connector which I would want to most likely expect as going to the thermostat . . . considering there being a
RED wire color transition/changeover and the woven spaghetti insulation sleeve precludes my even seeing the other existant wires color..
So that leaves the HEAVY gauge
RED-
BLUE-WHITE wires being associated with the nichrome heating element AND thereby, havingan option of HIGH or LOW heat with
3 wires being involved.
Lacking that info . . . I can go no fudder . . .mudder. . . . . .

People will accept your idea much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.
