BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

CHECK VENT INDICATOR IS BLINKING *

Check if...

Ductwork is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.

Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.

Dryer will not turn on

Check if...

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Dryer does not heat

Check if...

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).

Greasy or dirty spots on clothes

Check if...

Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.

Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before placing them in the dryer.

Excess static in clothes after drying

Check if...

Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly.

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

Drying synthetics, permanent press,or synthetic blends.

Then...

install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details.

Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will be increased.

*This warning light is not a dryer failure and is not covered by the dryer warranty. Contact a duct cleaning service to set up an appointment to have your exhaust system cleaned and inspected.

Then...

Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a ground- ed outlet matching dryer's rating plate.

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat.

Then...

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff valves are both fully open. Even if gas is not supplied to the dryer, it will run and no error codes will be displayed. Verify that other gas appliances in the home are working normally.

Then...

Only use your dryer to dry clean items, because dirty items

can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads.

Stains on dried clothes could be stains that weren't removed

during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.

Then...

Use a fabric softener, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static elec- tricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SEN- SOR DRY cycles. Select a "Less Dry" setting on Sensor Dry cycles, if necessary.

These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIMED DRY time settings.
