for assistance and possibly avoid a service visit.
Possible Causes
Household fuse is blown or
circuit breaker has tripped.
Supply line valve not open.
Incorrect power supply.
Automatic cycle ending early.
Lint screen clogged.
Dryer fabric softener not
properly used.
Load not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
Dryer tightly packed.
You have recently been
painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where
your dryer is located.
The dryer is being used for the
first time.
Laundry items were removed
from the dryer before the end
of the cycle.
A high temperature cycle was
used.
Exhaust vent or outside
exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement.
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers
use two household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace both fuses or
reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
For gas dryers, the valve is not open on the supply line.
Electric dryers require 240 V power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
Some models: The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level
the dryer.
Use Timed Drying for very small loads. Change the Dryness Level
setting on the Normal a Increasing or decreasing the Dryness Level
setting will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. nd Delicate
cycles.
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
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.
Run the Air Only cycle to tumble the load without heat to avoid
wrinkling.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce the chance of
wrinkles forming.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area,
rewash and dry the clothing.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be
gone after the first cycle.
All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and make it easier to
handle. Items removed before the cool down may feel very warm.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. These
cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and
shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces
overdrying.
Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside
exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement,
clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal
or flexible metal vent. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See
Installation Instructions.
