What To Do
• Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs
as necessary until even.
• Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the
dryer venting is correct.
• Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and
unobstructed.
• Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally,
a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
• Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take
longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller
loads to speed drying time.
• Match control settings to the load you are drying.
• Clean lint filter before every load.
• Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most
dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are
operating.
• Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at
a time.
• If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items
to ensure proper tumbling.
• When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load,
choose MORE DRY.
• Inspect and clean exhaust system.
• Press STOP.
• Hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to unlock the dryer.
• Reset the in-house breaker.
• This is normal. Press POWER to activate the control panel.
• Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into
the outlet.
• Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and
replace fuse or reset breaker. NOTE: Electric dryers
use two fuses or breakers.
• If the light on the DELAY START pad is flashing, the
dryer is paused. Press START to restart the countdown.
• This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of
moisture in the load, the dryer will display the dry time
remaining.
