• Press and hold Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door
was opened during a cycle.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses.
• Some cycles do not require heating. Check the selected cycle
again.
• Check the lint filter and heat exchanger. Clean them if
necessary.
• The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the
cycle.
• Check all of the above, plus...
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may
require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and
extracting adequate water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few
towels and restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some
items so the dryer is half full, and then restart.
• Clean the lint filter and heat exchanger.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails,
etc. Remove promptly.
• Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the
installation instructions.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity
of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or Water Drain
system.
