DOESN'TRUN

• Besure the door is latched shut.

• Be surethe powercord isplugged intoa

liveelectrical outlet.

• Check the home's circuit breaker and

fuses.

• Press the START button again if the

door is opened during the cycle.

DOESN'THEAT

• Check the home's circuit breaker and

fuses.

• Select a heatsetting, notair-fluff.

• On a gas dryer, check that the gas sup-

ply is on.

• Clean the lintfilter and exhaustduct.

• Dryer timer may have moved into the

cool-down portion ofthe cycle.

DOESN'T DRY

. Check all of the above, plus...

• Be sure the exhausthood at the outside

of the homecan open and close freely.

• Check exhaust system for lint build-up.

Ducting should be inspected and

cleaned annually.

• Use4" rigid metat exhaustduct.

• Donot overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer

!oad.

• Sort heavyitems from lightweight items.

• Large,bulky items like blanketsor com-

forlers may require repositioning to

ensureevendrying.

• Checkthat the washer is draining prop-

erly to extract adequate water from the

load.

• Clothesload is too small totumble prop-

erly.Add a few towels.

IS NOISY

• Checktheload forobjectssuch ascoins,

loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove

promptly.

• It is normalto hear thedryergas valveor

heating element cycle on and off during

the drying cycle,

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as

outlined in the installationmanual.

• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on

the levelinglegs.

• A clicking noise may be the timer

advancing.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to

the high velocity of air moving through

the dryer drum and exhaustsystem.

CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES

SLOWLY

• This is normal operation for an AutoDry

cycle, especially at the beginning ol the

cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the

control knob will start to advance. The

rate of advancement will be slow at the

beginning d the cycle because there is

more moisture in the load. As the load

becomes more dry,the control knob will

advance more quickly.

DRIES UNEVENLY

• Seams, pocketsand other similar heavy

areas may not be completely dry when

the rest of the load has reached the

selected dryness level. This is normal.

Select the "More Dry"setting if desired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a light-

weight load, such as one towel with

sheets, it is possible that the heavy item

will not be completely dry whenthe rest

ofthe loadhas reachedtheselecteddry-

ness level. Sort heavy items from light-

weight items for best drying results.

HAS AN ODOR

• Householdodors such as from painting,

varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may

enter the dryer with the surrounding

room air. This is normal as the dryer

draws the air from the room, heats it,

pullsit throughthe tumbler and exhausts

it to the outside. When these odors are

present in the air, ventilate the room

completely before usingthe dryer.
