To help you troubleshoot the dryer, we list below the most common
reasons for service calls and some answers to the problems. Before you
call service, please review the following items:
DRYER WON’T START
1. Is the door completely closed?
2. Are the controls set to the “on” position?
3. Did you push the “start” control?
4. Check for low voltage.
DRYER WON’T HEAT
1. Is the dryer set for “cooling time” rather than “drying time”?
2. Are the gas valve in the dryer and the valve on the main gas line
turned on?
3. Is the spark unit sparking?
4. Check for low or intermittant gas pressure.
CLOTHES ARE NOT SATISFACTORILY DRY
1. Timed cycle—Did you allow enough heating time before the
cool-down part of the cycle?
2. Is the lint screen blocked?
3. Is the exhaust duct to the outside clean and not blocked? (A
blocked exhaust will cause slow drying and other problems.)
GAS DRYER IGNITION
Refer to the page on "Instructions for the Direct Ignition System
Operation". Check to see if the manual gas valve is open. Then reset
the dryer controls. All panels, covers, and doors must be in place
and closed before starting the dryer.
VERY IMPORTANT
When calling the factory for service, always refer to the
model number and serial number.
