Dryer Operation

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacation care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your
dryer for an extended period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."
Moving care
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
3. Use masking tape to secure dryer door.
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 the 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.

Is the dryer set to Timed or Air Dry?
The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.
Is the dryer set to Automatic Drying?
The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry. See "How Automatic Drying
Works" in "Dryer Use."
