Service Savers
To help you troubleshoot the dryer, listed below are the most common
reasons for service calls and some answers to the problems. Before
you call service, please review the following items:
DRYER WON'T START
1. Is the door completely closed?
2. Are the controls set to the "on" position?
3. Did you push the "start" control?
4. Has a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
5. Are the fuses tight?
6. Check for low voltage.
7. Has the bonnet thermostat (gas only) tripped? If so, push to
reset.
DRYER WON'T HEAT
1. Is the dryer set for "cooling time" rather than "drying
time"?
2. Are the gas valves in the dryer and in the main gas line
turned on?
3. Check for low or intermittant gas pressure.
4. Check spark ignition module diagnostic light.
CLOTHES ARE NOT SATISFACTORILY DRY
1. Timed cycle—Did you allow enough heating time before
the cool-down part of the cycle?
2. Is the lint screen blocked?
3. Is the exhaust duct to the outside clean and not blocked? (A
blocked exhaust will cause slow drying and other
problems.)
GAS DRYER IGNITION
Refer to the page on "Instructions for the Direct Ignition
System Operation". Check to see if the manual gas valve is
open. Then reset the dryer controls. All panels, covers, and
doors must be in place and closed before starting the dryer.
VERY IMPORTANT
When calling the factory for service, always refer to the
model number and serial number.
