Before you call

Check the following if your clothes dryer...
Doesn't Run
• Be sure the door is shut.
• Is the electrical cord plugged in?
• Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• Push the Control dial in again if the door was opened during the cycle.
Doesn't Heat
• Has a fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• Select a heat setting, not air fluff.
• Check that the gas supply is on for gas dryers.
Doesn't Dry Properly
• Check all of the above, plus . . .
• Check the exhaust hood outside the house, does it open and close freely?
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• Use rigid 4" metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Check the washer to be sure it is draining properly to extract water from the load.
• Clothes load is too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
Is Noisy
• Check the load for objects such as coins, nails, etc. Remove promptly from dryer.
• The dryer should be level and installed on a solid floor.
Control Knob Advances Slowly
• This is normal operation for an Auto Dry cycle, especially at the beginning of cycle. Once the
load begins to dry, the control knob will start to advance. The rate of advancement will be slow
at the beginning of the cycle because there is more moisture in the load. As the load becomes
more dry, the control knob will advance more quickly.
