Check the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, 
restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. 
Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air 
movement. If you do not feel air movement, clear exhaust 
system of lint, or replace exhaust vent with a heavy metal or a 
flexible metal vent. See “Installation Instructions.”

Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy 
metal or flexible metal vent. See “Installation Instructions.”

Has the electricity supply fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker 
tripped?

Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for 
the types of garments being dried. See “Drying, Cycle, and 
Temperature Tips.”

For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grill? Use only one 
fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
 7ºC (45ºF)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 
7ºC (45ºF).

■

Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?
Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water 
and with items that hold moisture (cottons). 

■

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.

■

Check the following:
Is the electricity supply connected? 

Has the electricity supply fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker 
tripped?

Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.

Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Was the START button firmly pressed?

Is a cycle selected?

■

Has the dryer had a period of non-use? 
If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a 
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation. 

■

 

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

■

Is the lint screen clogged? 
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

■

Is the load properly sorted?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, 
synthetics). Also sort by color.

■

Is the load too big or too heavy?
Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.

■

Was the load overdried?
Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can 
cause lint-attracting static electricity. See “Drying, Cycle, and 
Temperature Tips.”

Is pilling being mistaken for lint?
Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and 
laundering.

■

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially-dried load can  
stain your garments.

■

Were items soiled when placed in the dryer?
Items should be clean before being dried.

Were items properly sorted?
Sort light colors from dark colors. Sort colorfast items from 
noncolorfast items.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

Did the load overdry? 
Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to 
load type. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”
