fuses or reset both breakers. Your dryer may tumble if only
one fuse is blown or one breaker tripped.
Make sure gas shutoff at dryer and main shutoff are fully
open.
Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as
necessary until even.
Follow directions on fabric softener package.
Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Dirty items can stain

Sometimes stains which cannot be seen when the clothes
are wet appear after drying. Use proper washing procedures
before drying.

Sort lint producers (like chenille) from lint collectors (like
corduroy).
