TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer will not run
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check
to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both
circuit breakers have not tripped. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
• Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
• Is the dryer door firmly closed?
• Was the Start button firmly pressed? Large loads may
require pressing and holding the Start button for 2-5 seconds.
Unusual sounds
• Has the dryer had a period of non-use?
If the dryer hasn't been used for a while, there may be a
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.
• Is it a gas dryer?
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum
and front or rear of the dryer?
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to
back and side to side?
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the
Installation Instructions.
No heat
• Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat.
• Is the valve open on the gas supply line?
• Is the clothing knotted or balled up?
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
