Regular Servicing
To keep your dryer operating at highest efficiency, regular
servicing by a designated Whirlpool service technician is
recommended. For normal use, this servicing should be at
12-month intervals. For heavy-duty usage, this interval should be
reduced accordingly.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacation care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on
vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time,
you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. If you have a gas dryer, close shutoff valve in gas supply line.
3. Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer Operation
Dryer will not run
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Check that the fuse is intact and tight, or that the circuit
breaker has not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the correct power supply available?
Electric dryers require 220-240-volt power supply. Check with
a qualified electrician.
Was a regular fuse used?
Use a time-delay fuse.
Is the dryer door firmly closed?
Was the Start button firmly pressed?
No heat
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?
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 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.
Is it a gas dryer?
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
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.
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.

2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
3. Use masking tape to secure dryer door.
Moving care - Gas Dryers
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.
3. Disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove fittings attached
to dryer pipe.
4. Cap the open fuel supply line.
5. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
6. Use masking tape to secure dryer door.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long,
or load is too hot
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Use a heavy metal vent.
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.
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 10.2 cm (4") diameter vent material.
