If Your Dryer Beeps For Help
Your SmartLoad™ dryer is capable of diagnosing its own troubles. If your dryer gives a
musical series of beeps every 5 seconds, it’s telling you that it has a warning which you might
be able to solve using the checklist below. (It’s the same sound SmartLoad™ makes when
you plug it in).
Look at the pattern of lights on the panel to find out what problem your dryer is
experiencing.
If you are unable to solve the problem from the checklist below call for service.
MACHINE IS BEEPING AND… POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
AUTO SENSING light is flashing
(your dryer is still running)
This light indicates there is an airflow restriction and your
clothes will take longer to dry. Possible reasons for the
airflow restriction could include:
1. Your lint bucket is too full. Remove the lint from the
lint bucket, then run the dryer on any cycle for a few
minutes with no load to remove any lint still trapped in
the dryer. Empty the lint bucket again.
2. Check the exhaust system. The ducting could be
restricted, squashed or blocked. Is the piping bent,
kinked or clogged? Does it need to be cleaned?
LID LOCKED light is flashing 1. Close the lid and press START/PAUSE.
2. If the lid is already closed, open the lid and close it
again, then press START/PAUSE.
3. Disconnect from the power (either by unplugging the
dryer or turning off the circuit breaker that supplies
it). Wait 10 seconds, reconnected and try turning it on
again.
TIME DRY 20 MINUTE light is flashing 1. The machine is unable to close the drum due to clothes
interfering with the closing mechanism. Remove any
articles that are interfering with the drum door and dry
these in the next load.
2. Is your load higher than the top of the lint bucket?
Remove some articles and dry these in the next load.
If your dryer is continually beeping and one or more of the progress lights is flashing, a fault
has occurred which requires repair from your Service Agent.
Pressing the POWER button once will stop the beeping but will still display the fault code.
We recommend leaving the machine in this mode as the fault code will enable the service
person to identify quickly the cause of the problem.
