Humming or whining noise 

with Steam cycle selected

Water inlet valve on dryer is running.

The water pump on the dryer is used during the Steam function. If 

the dryer has just been installed or unused for an extended period, 

the pump may be louder and run longer. This is normal.

This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few 

minutes of use.

A small object caught between the 

edges of dryer drum.

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean 

out pockets before laundering.

Dryer isn’t properly leveled.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation 

Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the 

floor.

Clothing is balled up in dryer.

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

Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and 

closes. This is normal.

Clothes are not drying 

satisfactorily or drying 

times are too long

clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load. Clean space where lint screen is 

located, as needed. Using a vacuum, gently remove any lint that has 

accumulated outside of the lint screen.

The exhaust vent or outside exhaust 

hood is clogged with lint, restricting air 

movement.

Run the dryer on Air Only for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under 

the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not 

feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust 

vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation 

Instructions.

The exhaust vent is not the correct 

length.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many 

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation 

Instructions.

correct size.

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
