TROUBLESHOOTING DRYER
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer will not run
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the
dryer. Check to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or
that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an
electrician.
Is the correct power supply available? Electric dryers
require 240 volt power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
• Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
• Is the dryer door firmly closed?
• Was the PUSH TO START DRYER button firmly pressed?
No heat
• Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? The drum may be turning, but you may not have
heat. Electric dryers use 2 fuses or circuit breakers. Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If a problem continues,
call an electrician.
Unusual sounds
Has the dryer had a period of non-use? If the dryer hasn't
been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during
the first few minutes of operation.
Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum
and front or rear of the dryer? Check the front and rear
edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets
before laundering.
Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to
back and side to side? The dryer may vibrate if not properly
installed. See "Installation Instructions."
Is the clothing knotted or balled up? When balled up, the
load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the
load items and restart the dryer.
Timer does not noticeably advance
• Is the dryer set to Timed or Air Dry?
The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.
• Is the dryer set to Auto Dry I1?
The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry.
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too
long, or load is too hot
• Is the lint screen clogged with lint? Lint screen should be
cleaned before each load.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foi( vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
• Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10
minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to
check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean
exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy
metal or flexible metal vent. See "Venting Requirements."
• Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only
one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
• Is the exhaust vent the correct length? Check that the
exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long
venting will increase drying times. See "Venting
Requirements."
• Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? Use
4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at (east 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
• Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45°F (7°0)? Proper operation of dryer cycles requires
temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
