Dry er Exhaust tips
• 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 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.
• 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.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the
dryer drum and exhaust system.
• 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.
• The dryer has experienced a power failure. Press Off, then restart the cycle.
• Press Off, then restart the cycle
