Solution
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. See "Cycle Guide".
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Run the dryer for
not crushed or kinked. See "Installation Instructions".
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent is
not crushed or kinked. See "installation Instructions".
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 ram) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear
of the dryer requires 5" (127 ram). See "installation Instructions".
Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
Press and Hold the Start/Pause button until you hear the dryer drum moving.
Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. The
drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

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