breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

electrician.
Supply line valve not open. For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line is
open.
Unusual Noise
Humming or whining noise
with Steam cycle selected
(on some models)
Water inlet valve on dryer is running. The water inlet valve on the dryer is used during the Steam function.
If the dryer has just been installed or unused for an extended period,
the valve may be louder and run longer. This is normal.
NOTE: The valve may make this noise even with no water line
connected.
Thumping noise Dryer hasn’t been used in a while. This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few
minutes of use.
Rattling or vibrating noise A small object caught between the
edges of dryer drum.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean
out pockets before laundering.
Dryer isn’t properly leveled. 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.
Clicking noise Gas valve operating. On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and
closes. This is normal.
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long
Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.
The exhaust vent or outside exhaust
hood is clogged with lint, restricting air
movement.
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside
exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not
feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust
vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. Make sure vent is not
crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.
The exhaust vent is not the correct
length.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns.
Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent is not
crushed or kinked. See Installation Instructions.
The exhaust vent diameter is not the
correct size.
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
The Air Only cycle or Air Fluff
temperature setting has been selected.
Select the right cycle or temperature for the types of items being
dried. See “Cycle Guide”.
The load is too large and heavy to dry
quickly.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
