The gas supply line valve not open. For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line

is open.

Unusual Noise

Humming or whining noise

with Steam cycle selected

Water inlet valve on dryer is running. The water pump on the dryer is used during the Steam function.

If the dryer has just been installed or unused for an extended

period, the pump may be louder and run longer. This is normal.

Thumping noise Dryer hasn’t been used in a while. This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few

minutes of use.

Rattling or vibrating noise A small object caught between the

edges of dryer drum.

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.

Clean out pockets before laundering.

Dryer isn’t properly leveled. The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation

Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in rm contact with

the oor.

Clothing is balled up in dryer. When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to

vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

Clicking noise Gas valve operating. On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens

and closes. This is normal.

Dryer Results

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily, clothes are

balling or tangling, or

drying times are too long

Lint screen or lint screen housing is

clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load. Clean space where lint screen

is located, as needed. Using a vacuum, gently remove any lint

that has accumulated outside of the lint screen.

The exhaust vent or outside exhaust

hood is 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 exible metal vent. See the Installation

Instructions.

The exhaust vent is not the correct

length.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation

Instructions.

The exhaust vent diameter is not the

correct size.

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

The dryer is not level. Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensing Cycles.

See “Level Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.

The Air Dry Temp setting has been

selected.

Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being

dried. See “Cycle Guide.”

First try the solutions suggested here for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
