TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Some shaking/noise is normal.
Dryer may be sitting unevenly.
Improper sorting.
Large loads of heavy fabrics
(like beach towels).
Non-venting dryer.
Controls improperly set.
Lint filter is full.
Blown fuses or tripped circuit
breaker.
Overloading/combining loads.
Underloading.
WHAT TO DO
Move dryer to an even floor space,
or adjust leveling legs as necessary
until even.
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 up drying
time.
Condensing dryers usually take
longer to dry than a vented dryer.
Match control settings to the load
you are drying.
Clean the 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.
