BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

User warnings

Your dryer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems. It will sound a 
continuous series of beeps and display a user prompt when it has a problem that you can 
correct yourself. To stop the beeps sounding, press any button on the control panel. Do not 
try to continue your drying cycle once you stop the noise. You must address the problem 
the dryer is alerting you to.
Check the below table before you call for service.

which may be blocking the air flow.

Check the lint filter is in place correctly in your dryer.

Clean the condenser filter and the foam filter (refer

Once you have addressed the issue the user prompt was alerting you to, try using your
