Is it a gas dryer?
The gas valve clicking is a normal operation
sound.
Are the four legs installed, and is the
dryer level front to back and side to
side?
The dryer may vibrate if not properly in-
stalled. See the Installation Instructions.
Is the clothing knotted or balled up?

ing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load
items and restart the dryer.

appear with each cycle until the low airflow
condition is resolved.
Try the following:
Clean the lint screen.

the wall is clear.
Check at the outside of the home that the
vent exhaust hood is not blocked.
Have your home venting run cleaned pro-
fessionally.
