General Troubleshooting Guide - Electric Dryer
NOTE:
1. Heater element is shown on wiring schematic (on reverse side of this sheet). Check for in
fi
nite resistance
between any heater terminal and dry cabinet. Heater failure could result from low air
fl
ow caused by
improper sealing, kinked or excessive ducting or excessive line voltage.
2. Other factors contributing to long dry times, or clothes condition: load size, large bulky items, ambient
temperature, room size (if not exhausted outdoor), washer spin speed, washer rinse temperature.
3. Small loads (less than 3 lbs.) if not treated with destaticizer, could develop a static charge if over dried and
cling to drum surface (no tumble), causing wrinkles, shrinkage, or melting. Use a fabric softener (washer
or dryer), or add 2 large bath towels to act as a buffer when drying.
