If Your Dryer Beeps For Help
Your
SmartLoad
™ dryer is capable of diagnosing its own troubles. If your dryer gives a musical
series of beeps every 5 seconds, it’s telling you that it has a warning which you might be able to
solve using the checklist below. (It’s the same sound
SmartLoad
™ makes when you plug it in).
Look at the pattern of lights on the panel to find out what problem your dryer is experiencing.
If you are unable to solve the problem from the checklist below call for service.
Machine is beeping and… AUTO SENSING light is flashing (your dryer is still running)
This light indicates there is an airflow restriction and your clothes will take longer to dry.
Possible reasons for the airflow restriction could include:
Your lint bucket is too full. Remove the lint from the lint bucket, then run the dryer on any
cycle for a few minutes with no load to remove any lint still trapped in the dryer. Empty the lint
bucket again.
Check the exhaust system. The ducting could be restricted, squashed or blocked. Is the piping
bent, kinked or clogged? Does it need to be cleaned?
Machine is beeping and… LID LOCKED light is flashing
Close the lid and press
START/PAUSE
.
If the lid is already closed, open the lid and close it again, then press
START/PAUSE
.
Disconnect from the power (either by unplugging the dryer or turning off the circuit breaker
that supplies it). Wait 10 seconds, reconnect and try turning it on again.
Machine is beeping and… TIME DRY 20 MINUTE light is flashing
The machine is unable to close the drum due to clothes interfering with the closing
mechanism. Remove any articles that are interfering with the drum door and dry these in the
next load.
Is your load higher than the top of the lint bucket? Remove some articles and dry these in the
next load.
If your dryer is continually beeping and one or more of the progress lights is flashing, a fault has
occurred which requires repair from your Service Agent.
Pressing the
POWER
button once will stop the beeping but will still display the fault code. We
recommend leaving the machine in this mode as the fault code will enable the service person to
quickly identify the cause of the problem.
