Check the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
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 your Installation
Instructions.
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with a heavy
metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.
Has a fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped?
Has an Air Dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for
the types of garments being dried (see “Cycles”).
Is the automatic cycle ending early? The load may not be
contacting the electronic sensor strips, level the dryer.
Is the valve open on the gas supply line?
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grill? Use only one
fabric softener sheet and only use it once.
■
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
■
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).
■
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Dryer will not run
■
Check the following:
Is the power cord plugged in?
Has a fuse blown, or has circuit breaker tripped?
Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Is a cycle selected?

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
Lint on load

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Is load properly sorted?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Also sort by color.

Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.
