Troubleshooting
For problem laundry solutions (i.e. fabric damage, residue, tangling) and special laundry care procedures,
see the enclosed Laundering Tips brochure.
• Be sure the door is shut.
• Is the electrical cord plugged in?
• Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• Push the Start button again if the door was opened during the cycle.
• Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• Select a heat setting, not air fluff.
• Check that the gas supply is on for gas dryers.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer time may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.
• Check all of the above, plus . . .
• Check the exhaust hood outside the house, does it open and close freely?
• Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned
annually.
• Use rigid 4” metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure
even drying.
• Check the washer to be sure it is draining properly to extract water from the load.
• Clothes load is too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, nails, etc. Remove promptly from dryer.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during
the drying cycle.
• The dryer should be level and installed on a solid floor.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.
• A clicking noise may be the timer advancing.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the
dryer drum and exhaust system.
• This is normal operation for an Auto Dry cycle, especially at the beginning of cycle.
Once the load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of
advancement will be slow at the beginning of the cycle because there is more
moisture in the load. As the load becomes more dry, the control knob will advance
more quickly.
