The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.
The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry. See "How
Auto Moisture Sensing Works" in "Dryer Use."
This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few
minutes of use.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. Check the
levelness of the dryer. All four casters should be in firm contact
with the floor.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
Clean lint screen before each load.
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 "Venting."
