Common dryer problems

Before calling for service, check these:

Is exhaust duct or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint?

Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Are the controls set in an On position?

Did you firmly push the Start Button?

Is lint screen clogged with lint?

Is the power cord plugged in?

Have you blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?

Electric dryers use 2 household fuses (or breakers). The drum may be turning but you may not have heat.

For gas dryers, are the valves open on the dryer and the supply line?

Is the lint signal sounding (on some models)?

If you still have problems, see “Requesting Assistance or Service” on page 25. 24
