Service Savers
To help you troubleshoot the dryer, we list below the most
common reasons for service calls and some answers to the
problems. Before you call service, please review the following
items:
DRYER WON'T START
1. Is the door completely closed?
2. Are the controls set to the “on” position?
3. Is there time on both timers?
4. Did you push the “push to start” button?
5. Has a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
6. Are the fuses tight?
7. Check for low voltage.
DRYER WON'T HEAT
1. Is the dryer set for “cooling time” rather than
“drying time”?
2. Are the gas valve in the dryer and the gas shut off
valve on the main gas line turned on?
3. Check for low or intermittant gas pressure.
CLOTHES ARE NOT SATISFACTORILY DRY
1. Timed cycle - Did you allow enough heating time
before the cool-down part of the cycle?
2. Is the lint screen blocked?
3. Is the exhaust duct to the outside clean and not
blocked? (A blocked exhaust will cause slow
drying and other problems.)
4. (For Moisture Control models) Was the moisture
level setting incorrect? (Too high?)
GAS DRYER IGNITION
Refer to the page on "Direct Spark Ignition Operation". Check to
see if the manual gas valve is open. Then reset the dryer controls. All
panels, covers, and doors must be in place and closed before starting
the dryer. The ignition module ground wire must be securely
grounded to the machine (both sides on gas unit).
VERY IMPORTANT
When calling the factory for service, always refer to the
model number and serial number.
