45°F (70C)?
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).

Separate the load to tumble freely.
Dryer will not run

Isthe power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?
Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?
Was a regular fuse used? Use atime-delay fuse.
Isthe dryer door firmly closed?

Lint on load

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Also sort by color.

cause lint-ettracting static electricity. See "Drying, Cycle, and
Temperature Tips."
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

laundering.

noncolorfast items.
