Dryer Operation
Dryer will not run
■
Is the dryer door firmly closed?
■
Was the Start button firmly pressed?
Large loads may require pressing and holding the Start button
for 2-5 seconds.
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the
dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both
circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■
Is the correct power supply available?
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a
qualified electrician.
■
Was a regular fuse used?
Use a time-delay fuse.
Unusual sounds
■
Has the dryer had a period of non-use?
If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.
■
Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum
and front or rear of the dryer?
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
■
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.
No heat
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric
dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call
an electrician.

■
“F# E#” (F1 E1, F3 E1, etc.) variable service codes:

alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has detected
a problem that requires service. Call for service.
