Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
■ Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement?
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel
air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust
vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation
Instructions.
■
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
■ Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the
Installation Instructions.
■ Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
■ Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF
(7ºC)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
■ Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top
and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires
a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations,
the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation
Instructions.
