Check the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint,
restricting air movement? 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

flexible metal vent. See "Installation Instructions."
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with a heavy
metal or flexible metal vent. See "Installation Instructions."
Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Electric
dryers use 2 household fuses or breakers. The drum may be
turning, but you may not have heat.
Has an air cycle bean selected? Select the right cycle for the
types of garments being dried. See "Cycles."
Is the automatic cycle ending early? The load may not be
contacting the electronic sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one
fabric softener sheet and only use it once.
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45°F (7°C)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45°F (7°(3).
• Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?
Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water
and with items that hold moisture (cottons).
