Whirlpool mede300 Manual Do Utilizador

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, 
then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a 
wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, 

 

go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

2. Check that you have all of your tools.
3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 
4. Check the dryer’s final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed 

 

or kinked.

5. Check that the dryer is level. See “Level Dryer.”
6. Remove the blue film on the console and any tape remaining on 

the dryer.

7. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to 

remove any dust.

8. Read “Dryer Use.”
9. For power supply cord installation, plug into a grounded outlet. 

For direct wire installation, turn on power.

10. Be sure the water faucets are on.

11. Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.

12. If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is 

recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water 
system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog 
different parts of the water system, which will reduce product 
performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for 
certain part replacement or repair.

13. Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and start the dryer. Do not select 

the Air Only Temperature setting.

home power supply keeping the dryer’s heater from turning on. 
See “Troubleshooting.”

14.  When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer 

door and feel for heat. If you feel heat, cancel cycle and close the 
door. 

■

There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the 
dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both 
circuit breakers have not tripped. If there is still no heat, 
contact a qualified technician.

NOTE: You may notice an odor when the dryer is first heated. 

 

This odor is common when the heating element is first used.

■

 

There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. 
Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit 
breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit 
breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■

Is the correct power supply available? 

 

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a 
qualified electrician.

■

Was a regular fuse used? 

 

Use a time-delay fuse.

■

 

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric 
dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the 
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an 
electrician.

■

 

Was the drying cycle interrupted by a power failure?

 

Press and hold START to restart the dryer.

dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present. 
Press any key to clear the code from the display and return to 
the estimated time remaining.
