You may or may not hear the following
sounds from your new dryer:
1. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.)
The flow of water is controlled by
electric solenoids. During operation
there may be a clicking sound as the
valve opens and closes to control the
water flow.
2. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer
drum is supported by a set of
suspension rollers. At times there may
be a thumping or rolling sound when
the dryer starts. This may happen if
the dryer has not been in use for a
period of time, or after a heavy load
has remained in the dryer drum for an
extended period, creating a temporary
flat spot on the edge of the roller. The
noise should dissipate as the dryer
operates and the flat spots smooth out.
3. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is
equipped with a high volume air
handling system. In some installations
there may be some sounds associated
with air movement throughout the
dryer, including the air duct, blower,
and exhaust system. This is normal and
can vary with load size and type.
4. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The
flow of gas is controlled by electric
solenoids. During operation there may
be a clicking sound as the valve opens
and closes to control the gas flow.
5. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.)
When the burner is operating, there
may be sounds generated as the
air flow mixes with the gas flame.
This noise is normal and will only
occur when the gas is ignited in the
combustion tube.
Before operating your dryer
Read the important instructions in this
section of the Use & Care Manual before
