Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm 

contact with the floor.

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to 

vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

The exhaust vent or outside exhaust 

hood is clogged with lint, restricting

exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See
