Repair or clean vent hood.

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 or STATIC SHIELD option, 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 electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles. Select a "Less Dry" setting on Auto 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.
