Dryer Operation

Dryer Results

Dryer will not run

Has a household fuse blown, or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

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

Is the dryer door firmly closed?

If the top of the door does not latch when you push the start button, the control will beep 3 times. Open door, reclose firmly and start the dryer.

Was the Start button firmly pressed?

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

No heat

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

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

Is the valve open on the gas supply line?

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.

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

“PF” (power failure), check the following:

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

“F” Variable (F1, F2, F20) service codes: Call for service.

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long, or load is too hot

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

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 the Installation Instructions.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the lint screen grille? Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Is the exhaust vent the correct length?

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions.

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.
