2.Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back wall of the dryer. Remove the screw located in the lower right corner of the cover. Remove the cover.

3.Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and secure with the screw.

4.Plug in dryer or reconnect power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid

the cost of a service call...

Dryer displaying code message

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

Was the drying cycle interrupted by a power failure?

Press (and hold) HOLD TO START button to restart the dryer.

“E” Variable (E1, E2, E3) service codes: Call for service.

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 a heavy 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 cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. See “Cycles.”

Is the automatic cycle ending early? The load may not be contacting the electronic sensor strips, level the dryer.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one fabric softener sheet and only use it 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 circuit breaker tripped? Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.

Is the dryer door firmly closed? If not, the time display will blink.

Was HOLD TO START firmly pressed and held for at least 1 second?

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.

Lint on load

Is the lint screen clogged?

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Is load properly sorted?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.

Is the load too big or too heavy?

Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.

Was the load overdried?

Use correct dryer settings for load type. See “Cycles.” Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity.

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Is pilling being mistaken for lint?

Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and laundering.

Stains on load or color change

Was dryer fabric softener properly used?

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle when the load is cold. Do not add fabric softener sheets to a warm load.

Were items soiled when placed in the dryer? Items should be clean before being dried.

Were items properly sorted?

Sort light colors from dark colors. Sort colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Items shrinking

Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

Did the load overdry?

Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to load type. See “Cycles.”
