Problem What to do
Does not run.
• Make sure the door is latched shut.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Press or tap Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door was opened during a cycle.
•
Does not heat.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle again.
• For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
•
• The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Does not dry.
• Check all of the above, plus.
• Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use a “4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even
drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and extracting adequate water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
•
• Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. When the Eco Dry
option is on, the dryer performs an air dry process in the beginning of the cycle to reduce
energy consumption. The air dry process does not use heated air, so the items may not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.
Is noisy.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying
cycle.
• Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum,
fan, or exhaust system.
