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.

connected.

home power supply keeping the dryer's heater from turning on.
See "Troubleshooting."
If your Airflow screen reads "Check Vent", your dryer vent may
be crushed or blocked. See "Troubleshooting."

You may notice an odor when dryer is first heated. This
odor is common when heating element is first used. The odor will
go away.
