Possible Causes

Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
Touch and hold START/PAUSE 2–5 seconds.
There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer.
Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers
have not tripped. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
Use a time-delay fuse.
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers
use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the fuses or reset
the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line is open.
This is due to temporary flat spots on the drum rollers. The thumping
sound will diminish after a few minutes.
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. See the Installation
Instructions. All four dryer feet 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.
On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and
closes. This is normal.
Reduce load size to recommended load size in "Cycle Guide."
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
or air movement is minimal, clean exhaust system of lint or replace
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the
Installation Instructions
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
or air movement is minimal, clean exhaust system of lint or replace
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the
Installation Instructions.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation
Instructions.
