TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Dryer will not run (cont.) Incorrect power supply. Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a

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 awhile, there may be a thumping

sound during the rst few minutes of operation.

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.

It is a gas dryer. The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

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”.

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.

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.

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

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

qualied electrician.

Cycle time too short Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.

Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level

setting on Auto Dry Cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount

of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too

early, see also Changing the Auto Dry Cycle Settings to Increase

Drying Time.

Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum Dryer fabric softener not properly

used.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain

your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer

at the end of the cycle.

Select Wrinkle Guard™ 150 feature to tumble the load without

heat to avoid wrinkling.

Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce wrinkles from

forming.

Odors You have recently been painting,

staining, or varnishing in the area

where your dryer is located.

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from

the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

The electric dryer is being used for the

rst time.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will

be gone after the rst cycle.

Load is too hot Laundry items were removed from the

dryer before the end of the cycle.

Allow the Cool Down cycle to nish before removing laundry from

dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make it

easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very

warm.

A high temperature cycle was used or

the Dry Temp control set on high.

Select a lower temperature, and use an Auto Dry cycle. These

cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and

shut o when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces

overdrying.
