Dryer Operation

Dryer will not run

 

Unusual sounds

Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Is the correct power supply available?

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician.

Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.

Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Was the Start button firmly pressed?

Large loads may require pressing and holding the Start button for 2-5 seconds.

No heat

Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers use 2 fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

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 a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum and front or rear of the dryer?

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.

Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to back and side to side?

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.

Is the clothing knotted or balled up?

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

Dryer displaying code message

Was the drying cycle interrupted by a power failure? Press and hold START to restart the dryer.
