Wrong type of fuse. Use a time-delay fuse.
Thumping noise
Dryer hasn’t been used in a while. This is due to temporary flat spots on the drum rollers. The
thumping sound will diminish after a few minutes.

noise
A small object caught between the
edges of dryer drum.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the
Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm
contact with the floor.
Clothing is balled up in dryer. When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
