Dryer Operation

Dryer will not run

■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■ Was a regular fuse used?

Use a time-delay fuse.

■ Is the dryer door firmly closed?

■ Was the Start button firmly pressed?

■ Is a cycle selected?

The dryer will not start in the Wrinkle Prevent position. Move the dial past OFF.

No heat

■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit

breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■ Is the valve open on the gas supply line?

Unusual sounds

■ Has the dryer had a period of non-use?

If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during the first

few minutes of operation.

■ Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum and front or rear of the dryer?

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before

laundering.

■ Is it a gas dryer?

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

■ Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to back and side to side?

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.

■ Is the clothing knotted or balled up?

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load

items and restart the dryer.

Timer does not noticeably advance

■ Is the dryer set to Timed Dry?

The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.

■ Is the dryer set to Sensor Dry?

The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry. See “How Sensor Dry Works” in

“Dryer Use.”

Dryer Results

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long, or load is too hot

■ Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

■ Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement?

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check

air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace

exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions.

■ Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■ Is the exhaust vent the correct length?

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will

increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.
