Unusual Noise
Humming or whining
noise with Steam cycle
selected
Water pump on dryer is running. The water pump on the dryer is used during the Steam function.
If the dryer has just been installed or unused for an extended
period, the pump may be louder and run longer. This is normal.
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
Drying times are too
long and clothes are not
getting dry
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. See the 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. See the
Installation Instructions.
The exhaust vent diameter is not the
correct size.
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
The dryer is not level. Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Automatic
cycles. See “Level Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.
The No Heat temperature setting has
been selected.
Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See “Cycle Guide.”
