TROUBLESHOOTING
Firsttry the solutions suggested hers and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer will not run Clothes are not drying satisfactorily
• Checkthe following:
Is the power cord plugged in?
• Checkthe following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? There
may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check to
make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit
breakers have not tripped.
Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
Is the dryer door firmly closed?
Was the START button firmly pressed?
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. Ifyou do not feel air movement, clean exhaust
system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or
flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy
metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.
Is a cycle selected?
No heat •
• Has a fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? Electric
dryers use 2 household fuses or breakers. The drum may be •
turning, but you may not have heat.
• Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle
for the types of garments being dried.
• For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one
fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45°F (7°0}? Proper operation of dryer cycles requires
temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?
Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water and
with items that hold moisture (cottons).
Isthe load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the
load to tumble freely.
Unusual sounds
• Has the dryer had a period of non-use? Ifthe dryer hasn't
been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during
the first few minutes of operation.
• Is it a gas dryer? The gas valve clicking is a normal operating
sound.
Unt on load
• Is the lint screen clogged? Clean lint screen. Check for air
movement.
• Is the load properly sorted? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille)
from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.
• Is the load too big or too heavy?. Dry smaller loads so lint
can be carried to the lint screen.
• Was the load overdried? Use correct dryer settings for load
type. Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity.
See "Dryer Cycle Descriptions" (separate sheet).
• Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
• Is pilling being mistaken for lint? Pilling (surface fuzz) is
caused by normal wear and laundering.
