Metered models – Insert coin(s) or card.

 

 

 

 

 

Nonmetered models – Turn the timer knob further into the cycle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure the cord is plugged all the way into the electrical outlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Close the loading door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure the controls are in a HEAT setting.

 

 

 

 

 

Metered models – Activate time accumulator. Push the coin slide all the way

 

in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press the PUSH-TO-START button.

 

 

 

 

 

Has the laundry room fuse blown or become loosened, or is a circuit breaker

 

OFF? The dryer unit itself does NOT have an electrical fuse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Has the motor overload protector cycled? Wait 10 minutes and try again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gas Dryers Only – Check to see if the gas valve in the dryer (behind the

 

 

lower front panel) and the main gas line valve are turned on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean the lint filter.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the exhaust duct to the outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs

 

cleaning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check the weather hood to make sure the flappers move freely, are not

 

pushed in or have not been blocked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the load too small? Small loads may not tumble properly or dry evenly.
