If you need service or assistance, we

suggest_you follow these five steps:

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:

Is the power supply plugged into a

live circuit with the proper voltage?

Is the door closed tightly?

Did you push the STARTButton?

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

IF YOUR DRYER DOES NOT HEAT:

The AIR setting is without heat.

The last minutes of heat settings are

without heat.

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 8

of this book for cleaning instructions.
