Doesn’t run. • Make sure the door is latched shut.
•
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
•
Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the
cycle.
• Empty the water in the condensed water tank.
• Clean the filter case.
Doesn’t heat. • Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.
• Select a heat setting other than Cool Air.
• Check the case filter and condenser and clean them if necessary.
• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry. • Check all of the above, plus...
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require
repositioning to ensure even drying.
•
Check that the dryer is draining properly to extract adequate water
from the load.
• Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Clean the filter case.
• Clean the Condenser.
• Check if the cooling air vent is blocked.
Is noisy. • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.
Remove promptly.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation
instruction.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving
through the dryer drum and fan.
Dries unevenly. • Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be
completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected
dryness level. This is normal. Select the Extra Dry setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel
with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely
dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Has an odour. • Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as
the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the
tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely
before using the dryer.
Shuts off before load is dry • Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart
the cycle.
•
Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
