TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long, or load is too hot
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
WARNING
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
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.
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.
