BEFORE YOU CALL

CHECK THESE POINTS IF YOUR CLOTHES DRYER...

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 button 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 sup- ply is on.

Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.

Dryer timer 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 com- forters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.

Check that the washer is draining prop- erly to extract adequate water from the load.

Clothes load is too small to tumble prop- erly. 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.

A clicking noise may be the timer advancing.

It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.

CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES

SLOWLY

This is normal operation for an AutoDry cycle, especially at the beginning of the cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of advancement will be slow at the beginning of the cycle because there is more moisture in the load. As the load becomes more dry, the control knob will advance more quickly.

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 “More Dry” setting if desired.

If one heavy item is dried with a light- weight 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 dry- ness level. Sort heavy items from light- weight 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.
