IGNITION

To help you troubleshoot the dryer, we list below the most common reasons for service calls and some answers to the problems. Before you call service, please review the following items:

DRYER WON'T START

1.Is the door completely closed?

2.Are the controls set to the “on” position?

3.Is there time on both timers?

4.Did you push the “push to start” button?

5.Has a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?

6.Are the fuses tight?

7.Check for low voltage.

DRYER WON'T HEAT

1.Is the dryer set for “cooling time” rather than “drying time”?

2.Are the gas valve in the dryer and the gas shut off valve on the main gas line turned on?

3.Check for low or intermittant gas pressure.

CLOTHES ARE NOT SATISFACTORILY DRY

1.Timed cycle - Did you allow enough heating time before the cool-down part of the cycle?

2.Is the lint screen blocked?

3.Is the exhaust duct to the outside clean and not blocked? (A blocked exhaust will cause slow drying and other problems.)

4.(For Moisture Control models) Was the moisture level setting incorrect? (Too high?)

GAS DRYER IGNITION

Refer to the page on "Direct Spark Ignition Operation". Check to see if the manual gas valve is open. Then reset the dryer controls. All panels, covers, and doors must be in place and closed before starting the dryer. The ignition module ground wire must be securely grounded to the machine (both sides on gas unit).

VERY IMPORTANT

When calling the factory for service, always refer to the model number and serial number.
