tripped?

There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Make

sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit

breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the

circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

back and side to side?

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the

or balled up?

vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

long, or load is too hot

NOTE: The compact dryer operates at a lower wattage. Expect

longer drying times.

•

Is the lint screen clogged

with lint?

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Fire Hazard

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow

these instructions can result in death

or fire.

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 the

Installation Instructions.
