Possible Reason — Do This To Correct
•
Metered models—Insert coin(s) or card.
•
•
Nonmetered models—Turn the timer knob further into the cycle.
•
Be sure the cord is plugged all the way into the electrical outlet.
•
Close the loading door.
•
Make sure the controls are in a HEAT setting.

•
Metered models—Activate time accumulator. Push the coin slide all the
way in.
•
Press the PUSH-TO-START button.
•
•
Has the laundry room fuse blown or become loosened, or is a circuit
breaker OFF? The dryer itself does NOT have an electrical fuse.
•
Has the motor overload protector cycled? Wait 10 minutes and try again.
•
Gas Dryers Only—Check to see if the gas valve in the dryer (behind the
lower front panel) and the main gas line valve are turned on.
•
Clean the lint filter.
•
•
Check the exhaust duct to the outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
•
•
Check the weather hood to make sure the flappers move freely, are not
pushed in or have not been blocked.
•
Is the load too small? Small loads may not tumble properly or dry
evenly.
