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.

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, etc.) service codes: Call for service.

“L2” Diagnostic Code (low or no line voltage condition):

The drum will turn, but there may be a problem with your home power supply keeping the dryer's heater from turning on. The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present. Press any key to clear the code from the display and return to the estimated time remaining.

Try the following:

Check to see if a household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses or breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Confirm the power cord is properly installed. Refer to “Electrical Connection” for details. Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.

If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.

“AF” (low airflow condition):

The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present. Press any key to clear the code from the display and return to the estimated time remaining.

Try the following: Clean lint screen.

Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is crushed or kinked. Confirm the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free of lint and debris.

Confirm the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint and debris.

Confirm your vent system falls within the recommended run length and number of elbows for the type of vent you are using. Refer to “Plan Vent System” for details.

Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.

If the message persists, have your entire home venting run cleaned.

Dryer Results

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 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.
