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, thermal limiter being tripped, or Delay Start being inadvertently activated -
**Dryer Runs but Won't Heat**
The issue might be due to one of two fuses in the dryer circuit being blown, an unopened gas supply valve, insufficient air supply to the burner flame, or an empty LP gas supply tank -
**Excessive Wrinkling**
Occurs when the dryer is overloaded, items are left in the dryer too long, or insufficient sorting of items occurs. The remedy is to follow proper operating instructions -
**Drying Cycle Takes Too Long**
Commonly caused by a clogged lint filter or issues with exhaust duct requirements not being met. This can also happen if the electric dryer is connected to a 208-volt circuit or due to high humidity -
**Excess Moisture in Drum Between Cycles**
This can be due to an exhaust damper stuck open or not present, necessitating a fix or replacement
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain efficiency and prevent fire hazards caused by lint buildup.
- Use mild soap and water to clean the exterior cabinet; avoid harsh, gritty, or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.
- Periodically, wash the lint filter and moisture sensing bars with warm, soapy water to remove any waxy build-up from fabric softener sheets.
- Inspect and clean the outdoor exhaust regularly to remove any lint accumulation, reducing the risk of fire hazards.
- Have an authorized servicer clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct every 18 months to prevent lint accumulation that could cause inefficient drying or potential fire risks.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the lowest heat setting available on your dryer for both auto and timed dry cycles to conserve energy and prevent over-drying your clothes.
- Opt for Sensor Dry cycles, which utilize moisture-sensing bars to automatically adjust drying time based on the moisture level, saving time and energy.
- Clean the lint filter after each load to ensure optimal airflow, which helps to improve drying efficiency and reduces drying time.
- Avoid overloading the dryer as items need room to tumble freely for even drying; this practice also reduces energy consumption.
- Use Delay Start to run drying cycles during off-peak energy hours if your utility rates vary, potentially reducing energy costs.
- Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged, or missing. This can lead to fire hazards, overheating, and damage to fabrics.
- To prevent shock hazard and ensure stability, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person.
- Never dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, waxes, etc., as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Clean the lint screen before or after each load. Regularly inspect and clean the exhaust opening and the surrounding area to prevent lint build-up, which could cause fires.
- Always disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning to prevent electrical shock or injury.
