A

You may or may not hear the following sounds 
from your new dryer:

A. 

WATER VALVE

 (Steam models only.) The fl ow of 

water is controlled by electric solenoids. During 
operation there may be a clicking sound as the 
valve opens and closes to control the water fl ow.

B. 

SUSPENSION ROLLERS

 The dryer drum 

is supported by a set of suspension rollers. 
At times there may be a thumping or rolling 
sound when the dryer starts. This may happen 
if the dryer has not been in use for a period of 
time, or after a heavy load has remained in the 
dryer drum for an extended period, creating 
a temporary fl at spot on the edge of the 
roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer 
operates and the fl at spots smooth out.

C. 

AIR FLOW SYSTEM

 Your dryer is equipped 

with a high volume air handling system. In 
some installations there may be some sounds 
associated with air movement throughout 
the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and 
exhaust system. This is normal and can vary 
with load size and type.

D. 

GAS VALVE

 (Gas models only.) The fl ow of gas is 

controlled by electric solenoids. During operation 
there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens 
and closes to control the gas fl ow.

E. 

GAS BURNER

 (Gas models only.) When the 

burner is operating, there may be sounds 
generated as the air fl ow mixes with the gas 
fl ame. This noise is normal and will only occur 
when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.

OPERATING YOUR DRYER

1.  Prepare load for drying.

•  Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con-

struction in the same load.

•  Separate dark items from light-colored items.

attract lint.

•  Check for stains which may not have been 

removed in washing. Repeat stain removal 
process and wash again before drying. Dryer 
heat may permanently set some stains.
