DRYER IS MAKING NOISERattling or clanking noises:
• Foreign objects may be in the dryer drum. Stop the dryer and check for foreign
objects such as loose change, keys and heavy objects.
Vibration noises:
• Load may be uneven. Stop the dryer and rearrange the load.
• Dryer may not be level. Check that all 4 leveling feet are resting Þ rmly on the
ß oor and that the dryer is level.
• See the “Normal Operating Sounds” section.
Static:
• Caused by over-drying. Adjust for shorter drying time and use a fabric softener
or a dryer sheet.
Loads are wrinkled:
• The load may have been left in the dryer too long at the end of the cycle. Be sure
to remove clothes promptly after the load ends.
• Dryer may be overloaded. The dryer drum should be at most half full.
Odors:
• Wet clothes left in the washer and or dryer may develop an odor. Drying will not
remove this odor. Rewash clothes before drying them.
• The electric heating element may have an odor when the dryer is used for the
Þ rst time. The odor will be gone after the Þ rst cycle.
