TROUBLESHOOTING

Dryer will not run

Humming or whining noise

with Steam cycle selected

(on some models)

Water inlet valve on dryer is running.

Unusual Noise

START/PAUSE not touched firmly or

held long enough.

Dryer Operation

Incorrect power supply.

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

qualified electrician.

Wrong type of fuse.

Use a time-delay fuse.

The water inlet valve on the dryer is used during the Steam function.

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

the valve may be louder and run longer. This is normal.
NOTE: The valve may make this noise even with no water line

connected.

Thumping noise

Dryer hasn’t been used in a while.

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

minutes of use.

Rattling or vibrating

noise

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.

Dryer Results

Dryer will not heat

Household fuse is blown or circuit

breaker has tripped.

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric

dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the

fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call

an electrician.

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily or drying

times are too long

Lint screen is clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load.

The Air Only temperature setting or

Air Dry cycle (depending on model)

has been selected.

Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being

dried. See “Cycle Guide.”

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, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with

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

The exhaust vent or outside exhaust

hood is clogged with lint, restricting

air movement.

Incorrect power supply.

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

qualified electrician.

Supply line valve not open.

For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line

is open.

Clicking noise

Gas valve operating.

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

closes. This is normal.

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.

The exhaust vent diameter is not the

correct size.

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

The dryer is not level.

Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensor cycles.

See “Level Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.
