CHECK THESE POINTS IF YOUR DRYER…
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Doesn’t run.
• Make sure the door is properly latched.
• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
• Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
Doesn’t heat.
• Check your home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
• Select a heat setting other than Air Flu .
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint fi lter and exhaust duct.
• The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry.
• Check all of the above, plus...
• Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and close freely.
• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. The ducting should be inspected
and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters may require repositioning
to ensure that they dry evenly.
• Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from
the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
Is noisy.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove
immediately.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and o
during the drying cycle.
• Be sure the dryer is properly level as outlined in the installation instruction.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving
through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
Dries unevenly.
• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry
when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is
normal. Select the Very Dry setting if necessary.
• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with
several sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry
when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy
items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Has an odor.
• Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter
the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws
the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it
outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before
using the dryer.
Shuts o before the load is
dry
• The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the
cycle.
• The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
