TROUBLESHOOTING
DRYER OPERATION
Dryer will not run
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
There may be two 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 a 240-volt power supply. Check
with a qualified electrician.
■
Was a regular fuse used?
Use a time-delay fuse.
No heat
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat.
Elelctric dryers use two household fuses or circuit breakers.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
■
Is “Check Vent” illuminated on the Airflow screen?
This indicator will show the status of airflow through the
dryer vent. The Detecting light comes on during the sensing
phase at the beginning of a cycle. The Check Vent light will
come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected.
Try the following:
Clean lint screen.
Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free
of lint and debris.
Confirm the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint and
debris.
Confirm your vent system falls within the recommended run
length and number of elbows for the type of vent you are
using. Refer to “Plan Vent System” for details.
Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
For more information on maintaining good airflow, see
“Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow” in the “Use and
Care Guide”. If the message persists, have your entire home
venting run cleaned.

DRYER RESULTS
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are
too long, or load is too hot
■
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen shold be cleaned before each load.
■
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood 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 vent. See
“Installation Instructions.”
■
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
■
Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too
many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See
“Installation Instructions.”
■
Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
■
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45°F (7°C)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures
above 45°F (7°C).
■
Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum
of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the
rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See “Installation
Instructions.”
