• Be sure the door is latched shut.
• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check the home's circuit breaker and fuses.
• Push the Start/Pause pad again if the door is opened during the cycle.
• Check the home's circuit breaker and fuses.
• Select a heat setting, not Air Fluff.
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer timer may have moved into the cool-down portion of the cycle.
Check all of the above, plus...
• Be sure the exhaust hood at the outside of the home can open and close freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint build-up. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use 4" rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.
• Clothes load too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Longer drying times may be noticed when using both the upper and lower sections.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load
has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the Very Dry setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible
that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer
with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats
it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside. When these odors are present in
the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
