SOLUTION
• Be sure the door is latched shut.
• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses.
• Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
• Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses.
• On a gas dryer, see if the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• See if the Dryer has moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
• Check all of the above, plus...
• Be sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected
and cleaned annually.
• Use a 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.
• The load may be 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
instruction.
• It is normal for the Dryer to hum due to the high volume of air moving
through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
• Seams, pockets, and other similarly 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 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 from paint, varnish, 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 outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely
before using the Dryer.
• The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and
restart the cycle.
• The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
