Clothes are not drying satisfactorily

■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 “Installation Instructions.”

Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See “Installation Instructions.”

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. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”

For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grill? Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only 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 a circuit breaker tripped? Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse. Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Was the START button firmly pressed? Is a cycle selected?

Unusual sounds

■Has the dryer had a period of non-use?

If the 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.
