Dryer Operation

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 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.

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

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.

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

The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.

Is the dryer set to Automatic Drying?

The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry. See “How Automatic Drying Works” in “Dryer Use.”

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
