Troubleshooting

 

 

 

 

Doesn’t Run

Be sure the door is latched shut.

 

 

 

• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.

 

 

 

Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.

 

 

 

Press the Start/Pause pad again if the door is opened during the cycle.

 

 

Doesn’t Heat

Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.

 

 

 

 

Select a heat setting, not Air Fluff.

 

 

 

On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.

 

 

 

• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

 

 

 

Dryer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.

 

 

Doesn’t Dry

Check all of the above, plus...

 

 

 

Be sure the exhaust hood at the outside of the home can open and close freely.

 

 

 

Check exhaust system for lint build-up. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned

 

 

 

 

annually.

 

 

 

• Use 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.

 

 

 

Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer load.

 

 

 

• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

 

 

 

• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure

 

 

 

 

even drying.

 

 

 

Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.

 

 

 

Clothes load too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.

 

 

Is Noisy

• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.

 

 

It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the drying cycle.

 

 

 

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation manual.

 

 

 

• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.

 

 

 

It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the

 

 

 

 

dryer drum and exhaust system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dries Unevenly

Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the

 

 

 

 

rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the

 

 

 

 

Very Dry setting if desired.

 

 

 

• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it

 

 

 

 

is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load

 

 

 

 

has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for

 

 

 

 

best drying results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Has an Odor

Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter

 

 

 

 

the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air

 

 

 

 

from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside.

 

 

 

 

When these odors are present in the air, ventilate the room completely before using

 

 

 

 

the dryer.
