drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace both

fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call

an electrician.

PUSH TO START button not pressed

 rmly or held long enough.

Incorrect power supply.

quali ed electrician.

Wrong type of fuse.

Use a time-delay fuse.

Unusual sounds

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  rst few minutes of operation.

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

Clean out pockets before laundering.

The four legs are not installed, and

the dryer is not level front to back

and side to side.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See Installation

Instructions.

A coin, button, or paper clip is

caught between the drum and front

or rear of the dryer.

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.

Press and hold the PUSH TO START button until you hear the

dryer drum moving.

No heat

Household fuse is blown or circuit

breaker has tripped.

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric

dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace both

fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call

an electrician.

It is a gas dryer.

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

Supply line valve not open. For gas dryers, make sure the supply line valve is open.

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily, drying

times are too long.

Lint screen clogged with lint. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

The Air Only cycle has been

selected.

Select the right cycle for the types of items being dried.

See “Cycle Guide.”

Load too large and heavy to dry

quickly.

Separate the load to tumble freely.

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  exible metal vent. Make sure vent is

not crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.

Exhaust vent diameter not the

correct size.

Use 4" (102mm) diameter vent material.

Dryer located in a room with

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above

45ºF (7ºC).

Dryer located in a closet without

adequate openings.

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and

bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum

of 1" (25mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear

of the dryer requires 5" (127mm). See Installation Instructions.

Exhaust vent not the correct length.

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

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent

is not crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.

Incorrect power supply.

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a
