First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
Possible Causes
Lint screen or lint screen housing is
clogged with lint.
The Fluff Air cycle or No Heat temperature
setting has been selected.
Load too large and heavy to dry quickly.
Exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood
clogged with lint, restricting air movement.
Fabric softener sheets blocking the grill.
Exhaust vent not the correct length.
Exhaust vent diameter not the
correct size.
Dryer located in a room with
temperature below 7ºC (45ºF).
Dryer located in a closet without adequate
opening.
Door not closed completely.
Stop/Start knob not turned to On setting.
Stop/Start knob not pressed firmly or held
long enough.
Household fuse is blown or circuit breaker
has tripped.
Incorrect power supply.
Wrong type of fuse.
Dryer had a period of non-use.
A coin, button, or paper clip is caught
between the drum and front or rear of
the dryer.
It is a gas dryer.
The 4 legs are not installed or the dryer
is not level front to back and side to side.
Clothing knotted or balled up.
Household fuse is blown or circuit breaker
has tripped.
Supply line valve not open.
Incorrect power supply.
Solution
Clean lint screen before each load. Clean space where
lint screen is located, as needed. Using a vacuum, gently
remove any lint that has accumulated outside of the lint
screen.
Select the right cycle for the types of garments being
dried. See "Cycle Guide."
Separate the load to tumble freely.
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.
Use only one fabric softener sheet and use it only once.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has
too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.
Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See Installation
Instructions.
Use 102 mm (4") diameter vent material.
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures
above 7ºC (45ºF).
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top
and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires
a minimum of 25 mm (1") of airspace and, for most
installations, the rear of the dryer requires 127 mm (5").
See Installation Instructions.
Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
Turn Stop/Start knob to On setting.
Press and hold the Stop/Start knob until you hear the dryer
drum moving.
Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers.
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat.
Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with
a qualified electrician.
Use a time-delay fuse.
If the dryer hasn't been used for awhile, there may be a
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small
objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed.
See Installation Instructions.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer
to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat.
Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers.
Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
For gas dryers, make sure the supply line valve is open.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply.
Check with a qualified electrician.
