cal outlet.

Make sure loading door is closed.
•
Press Start/Pause button to start dryer.
•
Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn't blown or loose, or cir-
cuit breakers aren't open.
•
The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric
dryer has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
•
Check if motor overload protector has cycled. Wait 10 minutes
and try again.
•
Electric dryers only – Some homes may have two fuses or cir-
cuit breakers for an electric dryer; both fuses or circuit break-
ers should be checked. Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn't
blown or loose, or that the circuit breakers aren't open.
•
Make sure control is not in Cooling part of cycle, Extended LED
is lit, or that the Temp selection is not set to No Heat.

Gas dryer only – Make sure equipment and main gas line valve is
turned on.

•
Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal,
plastic toys, etc.). Remove items from dryer.

Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.

Normal operating sounds include the heat source going on and
off and the humming of air moving through the dryer and ex-
haust system.
