Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dryer Does Not Start**
This issue can be caused by the power cord not being securely plugged in, a blown house fuse, or a tripped circuit breaker -
**Dryer Runs but Does Not Heat**
Often due to one of the two fuses in the dryer's circuit being blown. While the drum may turn, the heater will not operate if one of the fuses is blown -
**Drying Cycle Takes Too Long or Dryer Feels Hot**
This can result from a clogged lint filter, which restricts airflow, or if the electric dryer is connected to a 208-volt circuit instead of 240 volts, which increases drying time by about 20% -
**Excessive Wrinkling**
These occur due to overloading the dryer, leaving items in the dryer after the cycle ends, or setting the drying temperature too high -
**Empty Water Container Indicator is Lit**
This happens when the water tank, which needs to be emptied between cycles, becomes full and interrupts the drying process
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Before cleaning the dryer interior, always unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
- Clean the lint filter after every load to ensure proper air flow and shorter drying times; the filter is located at the bottom of the door opening.
- Occasionally wash the lint filter and moisture sensing bars with warm, soapy water to remove any waxy build-up from dryer sheets.
- Clean the dryer cabinet with mild soap and water; avoid using harsh, gritty, or abrasive cleansers that may damage the surface.
- Regularly check and clean the condenser if the “CLEAN CONDENSER” indicator lights, using water and mild soap if necessary.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the normal drying cycle, as it is optimized for energy efficiency by default.
- Select eco mode for reduced temperature drying; though cycle times will be longer, this uses less energy.
- Clean the lint filter after every load to ensure efficient airflow and minimize energy use.
- Avoid overloading the dryer to ensure clothes have room to tumble freely, which enhances drying efficiency.
- Use the lowest heat setting that will achieve the desired drying for your clothes, as cycles with less heat consume less energy.
- DO NOT dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other flammable or explosive substances as they could ignite or explode.
- DO NOT allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near them to prevent accidents.
- ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning to avoid electrical shock or injury.
- Clean the lint screen before or after each load. Excessive lint build-up could lead to inefficient drying and a potential fire hazard.
- DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer’s interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
