Is it a gas dryer?
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to 
back and side to side?
 
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the 
Installation Instructions.

Is the clothing knotted or balled up? 
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to 
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

Timer does not noticeably advance

Is the dryer set to Timed or Air Dry?
The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.

Is the dryer set to Automatic Drying? 
The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry. 

Dryer Results

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too 
long, or load is too hot

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with 
lint, restricting air movement? 
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the 
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not 
feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace 
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the 
Installation Instructions.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? 
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Is the exhaust vent the correct length? 
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many 
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the 
Installation Instructions. 

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? 
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)?
 
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 
45ºF (7ºC).

Is the dryer located in a closet? 
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and 
bottom of the door. Sides and front of dryer require a minimum 
of 1" (2.5 cm) of airspace, and the rear of the dryer requires 5" 
(12.7 cm). See the Installation Instructions.

Has an air dry cycle been selected? 
Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. 

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? 
Separate the load to tumble freely.

Cycle time too short

Is the automatic cycle ending early? 
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the 
dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. 
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the 
amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint on load

Is the lint screen clogged?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Was dryer fabric softener properly used? 
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. 
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain 
your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue 
jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.
