38 Normal Operating Sounds

Normal operating sounds

You may or may not hear the following

sounds from your new dryer:

A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.)

The flow of water is controlled by

electric solenoids. During operation

there may be a clicking sound as the

valve opens and closes to control the

water flow.

B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The

dryer drum is supported by a set of

suspension rollers. At times there may

be a thumping or rolling sound when

the dryer starts. This may happen if the

dryer has not been in use for a period of

time, or after a heavy load has remained

in the dryer drum for an extended

period, creating a temporary flat spot on

the edge of the roller. The noise should

dissipate as the dryer operates and the

flat spots smooth out.

C. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer

is equipped with a high volume air

handling system. In some installations

there may be some sounds associated

with air movement throughout the

dryer, including the air duct, blower, and

exhaust system. This is normal and can

vary with load size and type.

D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The

flow of gas is controlled by electric

solenoids. During operation there may

be a clicking sound as the valve opens

and closes to control the gas flow.

E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.)

When the burner is operating, there may

be sounds generated as the air flow

mixes with the gas flame. This noise is

normal and will only occur when the gas

is ignited in the combustion tube.

Before operating your

dryer

Read the important instructions in this

section of the Use & Care Guide before

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
