PROBLEM

DRYER WON’T START

CLOTHES 

 TOO

LONG TO DRY

 GENERAL

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● 

Dryer unplugged. Make sure power cord is plugged in.

● 

No power to dryer. Check fuses and circuit breakers to make sure dryer is

getting current. Most electric dryers use two.

● 

Controls improperly set. Make sure controls are set and Start knob is turned.

Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. To restart, close the door
and turn the Start knob.

● 

Dryer door is open. Close door securely—dryer will not run with door open.

● 

Circuit is overloaded. Do not operate other appliances on the same electrical

outlet or circuit while the dryer is operating.

● 

Controls improperly set. Check 

 controls to make sure they are correctly

set for the load you want to dry. See the How to Operate Your Dryer section.

● 

Clogged lint filter. Remove and clean filter before every load. Periodically clean

area under lint filer with vacuum cleaner. See the Care and Cleaning section.

● 

Improper 

 Make sure dryer is 

 in accordance with the

Installation Instructions.

● 

Obstruction in exhaust 

 Make sure 

 is clean and free of

obstruction; make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexible

 is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to the

Installation Instructions.

● 

Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit

breakers. Most electric dryers use two, It is possible for one to be blown or
tripped and the dryer still tumble without heat.

● 

Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles.

 Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take along

time to remove moisture.

● 

Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine

loads.

● 

Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles,

even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

● 

Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or

washed by hand and drip dried; others may be safely washed but will shrink
in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt,
do not machine wash or tumble dry.
