■

■

Was the Start/Pause button firmly pressed? 

 

Large loads may require pressing and holding the Start/Pause 
button for 2-5 seconds.

■

 

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.

■

 

If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a 
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation. 

■

Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum 
and front or rear of the dryer? 

 

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. 
Clean out pockets before laundering.

■

Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to 
back and side to side? 

 

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

■

 

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to 
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

■

 

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 to START to restart the dryer.

■

 

If a code beginning with an “F” appears in the display, 
alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has detected 
a problem that requires service. Call for service.

■

Is the lint screen clogged with lint? 

 

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

■

Has the Air Dry temperature setting been selected? 

 

Select the right temperature for the types of garments being 
dried. See “Air Dry.”

■

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? 

 

Separate the load to tumble freely.

■

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, clean exhaust system of lint or replace 
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the 
Installation Instructions.

■

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? 

 

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■

Are drying times too long or are clothes too dry? 

 

Automatic cycle default settings may have been changed. See 
Changing the Automatic Cycle Default Settings. 

■

Is the exhaust vent 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. See also Changing the Automatic 
Cycle Default Settings, if you are unable to shorten the vent 
length.

■

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? 

 

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

■

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF 
(7ºC)? 

 

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 
45ºF (7ºC).

■

Is the dryer located in a closet? 

 

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and 
bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum 
of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear 
of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation 
Instructions.

■

 

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the 
dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. 
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the 
amount of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently 
ending too early, see also Changing the Automatic Dry Default 
Settings.

■

 

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
