Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dryer Does Not Start**
This can be caused by the electrical power cord not being securely plugged in, a blown house fuse or tripped circuit breaker, or the thermal limiter being tripped. Also, the dryer will not start if the door is open -
**Dryer Runs but Won’t Heat**
Possible reasons include one of the two house fuses in the dryer circuit being blown, the gas supply valve not being open for gas models, or poor air supply -
**Drying Cycle Takes Too Long**
This can occur if the lint filter is clogged, the exhaust duct is not meeting requirements, or if the dryer is connected to a lower voltage circuit -
**Excessive Wrinkling**
Caused by overloading the dryer, leaving items in the dryer for too long, or insufficient sorting of items. It may also happen if the drying temperature is too high -
**Excessive Lint**
Often results from overloading, not cleaning the lint screen before each cycle, or over-drying which generates static electricity
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent lint buildup, which restricts airflow and can cause longer drying times.
- Occasionally wash the lint filter with warm, soapy water to remove waxy build-up from fabric softener sheets, and make sure it is dry before replacing.
- Avoid using harsh, gritty, or abrasive cleansers on the dryer's cabinet; instead, use mild soap and water.
- Ensure the dryer is connected to an outdoor exhaust, and regularly inspect the entire outdoor exhaust and venting system for lint buildup.
- Have a qualified service professional clean the interior of the dryer cabinet, lint screen housing, and exhaust duct every 18 months to prevent lint accumulation, which could pose a fire hazard.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Select the Right Cycle**: Use cycles that display the leaf icon, which indicate energy-efficient settings using less heat. Using lower heat settings can save more energy.
- **Use Auto Dry Cycles**: Auto dry cycles help save time and energy by using moisture sensors to determine the optimal drying time.
- **Avoid Overloading**: Load the dryer so that items have room to tumble freely, which improves drying efficiency and prevents prolonged dry times.
- **Regular Maintenance**: Clean the lint filter after every load to improve air circulation and efficiency. Also, periodically check outdoor exhausts to remove lint build-up.
- **Delay Start Feature**: Use delay start to run the dryer during off-peak energy hours if your electricity plan supports it.
- **Electrical Hazard:** Always connect the dryer to a properly grounded outlet. Never remove the grounding prong from the power cord plug. Avoid using an adaptor plug or an extension cord, as this can cause electrical shock or fire.
- **Fire Hazard:** Do not place items exposed to cooking oils or flammable materials in the dryer. Such contamination could lead to a chemical reaction causing fire. Avoid stopping the dryer before the end of its cool-down cycle.
- **Ventilation Requirement:** Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening to ensure it is clear of any lint or debris. A clogged exhaust can pose significant fire and health hazards.
- **Mechanical Issues:** Do not continue to use the dryer if it emits strange noises such as squeaking or grinding. These are signs of potential mechanical failure that could lead to fire. Contact a technician immediately.
- **Child Safety:** Do not allow children to play on or inside the dryer, and ensure all packing materials are disposed of properly to prevent them from becoming potential suffocation hazards.
