If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is
recommended to control the buildup of scale through the
water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime
scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will
reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may
lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair.

Dryer is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
■
Electrical supply is connected.

Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker

whether gas supply line shut-off valve is open.

■
