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

 

 

 

 

 

 

Close the loading door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure timer is not in COOL DOWN setting or NO HEAT cycle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Push timer knob in to start dryer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Has the laundry room fuse(s) blown or become loosened, or are circuit

 

breakers open? The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An

 

 

 

electric dryer has an electrical circuit with two fuses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the timer in a heat setting?

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

cleaning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been

 

pushed in or has not been blocked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Automatic Cycle – Adjust to more or less dry setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Timed Cycle – Allow more or less time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean the lint filter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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