BEFORE YOU CALL

CHECK THESE POINTS IF YOUR CLOTHES DRYER...
DOESN'T RUN
• 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.
• Press the START button again if the
door is opened during the cycle.
DOESN'T HEAT
• Check the home's circuit breaker and
fuses.
• Select a heat setting, not air-fluff.
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas sup-
ply is on.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Dryer timer may have moved into the
cool-down portion of the cycle.
DOESN'T DRY
• 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 com-
forters may require repositioning to
ensure even drying.
• Check that the washer is draining prop-
erly to extract adequate water from the
load.
• Clothes load is too small to tumble prop-
erly. Add a few towels.

IS NOISY
• 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 manual.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on
the leveling legs.
• A clicking noise may be the timer
advancing.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to
the high velocity of air moving through
the dryer drum and exhaust system.
CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES
SLOWLY
• This is normal operation for an AutoDry
cycle, especially at the beginning of the
cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the
control knob will start to advance. The
rate of advancement will be slow at the
beginning of the cycle because there is
more moisture in the load. As the load
becomes more dry, the control knob will
advance more quickly.
DRIES UNEVENLY
• 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 "More Dry" setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a light-
weight 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 dry-
ness level. Sort heavy items from light-
weight items for best drying results.
HAS AN ODOR
• 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.
