If you need service or assistance, we suggest

you follow these four steps:

1. Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result

from little things you can find and fix

yourself without tools of any kind.

If your dryer does not run:

If the power supply cord plugged

into a live circuit with the propervolt-

age?

Is the door closed tightly?

Did you push the STARTButton?

If your dryer does not heat:

The AIR setting is without heat.

The last minutes of heat settings are

without heat.

-A-

@Is the gas turned on? If not, turn the

Control Knob to OFF. Turn on gas.

Wait 5 minutes. Reset controls and

start.

An electric dryer uses a circuit

breaker or 2 fuses. If one fuse is

blown, the dryer may run, but not

heat.

If drying time seems long:

Is the lint screen clean?

See page 5 of this book and page 6

of your “Dryer Guide:’

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?
