Level Dryer

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs
up or down and check again for levelness.

If the dryer will not start, check the following:
Controls are set in a running or "On" position.
Start button has been pushed firmly.
Dryer is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Electrical supply is connected.
Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped.
Dryer door is closed.
This dryer automatically runs an installation diagnostic routine at the start of its first
cycle.
NOTE: You may notice an odor when the dryer is first heated. This odor is common when
the heating element is first used. The odor will go away.
13. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat. If
you feel heat, cancel cycle and close door. If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and
check that the gas supply line shutoff valve is open.
If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then repeat the 5-minute test as
outlined above.
If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a qualified technician.
14. If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is recommended to control the
buildup of scale through the water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime
scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will reduce product
performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement
or repair.
