stage. If your dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for
service.

Possible Causes
Solutions
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a
grounded outlet matching the dryer's rating plate.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas
shutoff are both fully open.
• If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect the Energy
Saver option. The Energy Saver option is selected by
default. This option reduces energy use by adding an air
dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal to
feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy
Saver mode.
• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your
fabric softener.
• Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items,
because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the
same or subsequent loads.
• Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not
removed during the washing process.
Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned
according to the instructions for your washer and
detergent.
• Turn off the dryer and call for service.
• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With
some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be
necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that
are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
• See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying
clothes.
• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static
electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time,
or use SENSOR DRY cycles.
• These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric
softener.
