Press the START button again if the
door is opened during the cycle.

cool-down portion of the cycle.
DOESN’T DRY
l

l
Be sure the exhaust hood at the out-
side of the home can open and close
freely.
l
Check exhaust system for lint build-
up. Ducting should be inspected and
cleaned annually.
l
Use 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
l
Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1
Dryer load.
l
Sort heavy items from lightweight
items.
l
Large, bulky items like blankets or
comforters may require repositioning
to ensure even drying.
l
Check that the washer is draining
properly to extract adequate water
from the load.
l
Clothes load is too small to tumble
properly. Add a few towels.
IS NOISY
Check the load for objects such as
coins, loose buttons nails, etc.
Remove promptly.
It is normal to hear the dryer gas
valve or heating element cycle on
and off during the drying cycle.
Be sure the dryer is leveled properly
as outlined in the installation manual.
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.
CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES
SLOWLY
l
This is normal operation for an
IntelliDry cycle, especially at the
beginning of the 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.
DRIES UNEVENLY
l
Seams pockets and other similar
heavy areas may not be completely
dry when the rest of the load has
reached the selected dryness level.
This is normal. Select the “MORE
DRY” setting if desired.
0 If one heavy item is dried with a light-
weight load, such as one towel with
sheets it is possible that the heavy
item will not be completely dry when
the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. Sort heavy
items from lightweight items for best
drying results.
HAS AN ODOR
l
Household odors such as from paint-
ing, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter the dryer with the surround-
ing room air. This is normal as the
dryer draws the air from the room,
heats it, pulls it through the tumbler
and exhausts it to the outside. When
these odors are present in the air, ven-
tilate the room completely before using
the dryer.
