PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
DRYER
WON’T START
• 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 have two fuses so make sure you check both.
• Controls improperly set. Make sure the controls are set correctly and that the Start button is pressed.
Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. To restart, close the door and push the Start button.
• Dryer door is open. Close door securely - dryer will not run with the door open.
• Circuit is overloaded. Do not operate other appliances on the same electrical outlet or circuit
while the dryer is in use.
CLOTHES
TAKE TOO
LONG TO DRY
• Controls improperly set. Check all controls to make sure they are correctly set for the load you want to dry.
See the How to Operate Your Dryer section. as well as the Care and Cleaning section.
• Clogged lint filter. Clean the filter before every load. Periodically remove lint filter and clean area under it with
vacuum cleaner.
• Improper ducting. Make sure dryer is ducted in accordance with the Installation Instructions.
• Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of obstruction; make sure that the flap on
the outside wall operates easily. If flexible ducting 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 have
two fuses. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped and the dryer still tumbles but with no heat.
• Mixed loads. Do not mix heavy or hard-to-dry items with lightweight articles.
• Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, can take a long time to dry.
• 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 ensure proper
tumbling.
SHRINKAGE,
GENERAL
• 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.
WRINKLING
• Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang them immediately.
• Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press items, such as work clothes, with lighter
Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses.
Do not wash or dry Permanent Press with regular laundry.
• Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrinkling.
TO REMOVE
