Sales over the quarter increased 5.6 percent to 28.8 million krona, slightly better than the 28.4 million krona expected by analysts.
Electrolux said in a statement that its European operations were performing better because of the reduced costs and improved management of product portfolios.
The trims included cutting its number of employees by 3 percent.
Electrolux bought General Electrics appliances business for $3.3 billion (4.2 billion euros) in September as part of an expansion aimed at doubling its US sales. The transaction is to be concluded during next year.
