TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid

the cost of a service call...

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily

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

system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or

flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.

Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy

metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.

Has a fuse blown, or 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 dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for

the types of garments being dried. See "Drying, Cycle and

Temperature Tips."

For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one

fabric softener sheet and only use it once.

Is the RESOURCE SAVER™ setting selected? Heavy or large

loads may require a cycle setting closer to Very Dry in the

automatic cycles, or the Timed Dry cycle and a High heat

temperature setting, to dry satisfactorily.

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below

45ºF (7ºC)?

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above

45ºF (7ºC).

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).

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Dryer will not run

Check the following:

Is the power cord plugged in?

Has a fuse blown, or has circuit breaker tripped?

Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.

Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Was the START button firmly pressed?

Is a cycle selected?

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 the RESOURCE SAVER™ setting selected?

To save energy, a gas dryer operating with the RESOURCE

SAVER™ setting selected cycles on and off more often. This

results in a clicking sound.

Lint on load

Is the lint screen clogged?

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Is the load properly sorted?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,

synthetics). Also sort by color.

Is the load too big or too heavy?

Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.

Was the load overdried?

Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can

cause lint-attracting static electricity. See "Drying, Cycle and

Temperature Tips."

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Is pilling being mistaken for lint?

Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and

laundering.

Stains on load or color change

Was dryer fabric softener properly used?

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially-dried load can

stain garments.

Were items soiled when placed in the dryer?

Items should be clean before being dried.

Were items properly sorted?

Sort light colors from dark colors. Sort colorfast items from

noncolorfast items.
