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. Did you push the “start” control?
4. Has a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
5. Are the fuses tight?
6. 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 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.)
GAS DRYER IGNITION
The dryer has a safety device which automatically shuts off the gas
if the burner fails to light in a short time. If this happens, turn the
dryer off. Check and see if the manual gas valve is open. Wait 5
minutes for the safety device to reset. Then reset the dryer
controls. If the dryer still fails to heat, call for service. All panels,
covers and doors must be in place and closed before starting the
dryer.
VERY IMPORTANT
When calling the factory for service, always refer to the
model number and serial number.
