What To Do
Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as
necessary until even.
Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer
venting is correct.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a
well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time.
Match control settings to the load you are drying.
Clean lint filter before every load.
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. NOTE: Some electric
dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure
proper tumbling.
The ecoDry feature is designed to operate your dryer in the
most energy efficient mode, which is not always the fastest
mode. In some instances, dry times may be extended to
reduce overall energy usage for the cycle.
When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, choose
More Dry.
Inspect and clean exhaust system.
This is normal. Press Power to activate the control panel.
Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse
or reset breaker. NOTE: Some electric dryers use two fuses/
breakers, make sure both are operating.
If the light on the Start/Pause pad is flashing, the dryer is paused.
Press Start/Pause to restart the countdown.
This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of moisture in
the load, the dryer will display the dry time remaining.
This is normal.
This is normal.
This is normal. During extended tumbling, the time remaining is
not displayed. The extended tumbling option lasts approximately
60 minutes.
Clean lint filter, dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that
light turns off.
Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting
is correct.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed. Check
to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that light turns off.
Inspect and clean the exhaust system.
