Dryers - Troubleshooting/FAQ
My dryer does not heat
Did you select an air tumble cycle or air only temperature option?
The air tumble cycle or air only temperature does not add heat to the dryer. Expect loads dried with the air tumble cycle or air only temperature to take longer to dry. Air tumble cycle or air only temperature can be found on the control knob or button with the other temperature selections.
Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped?
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit breakers. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Did you recently install a power supply cord on the dryer?
The power supply cord may be incorrectly installed. Review the installation instructions to make sure that the power supply cord is properly installed.
Why are my loads damp or my drying times are taking so long?

WALKING WITH PURPOSE
My dryer or load has an odor
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the load. The odor is on the load because the dryer pulls in surrounding room air to dry the load. To avoid this, do not run the dryer while painting, varnishing or refinishing near the dryer.
Was a damp or wet load left in the washer or dryer?
If wet load left in the washer or dryer for a long time will begin to grow mildew, which will result in odors. Rewash and dry the load to remove the odors. Promptly remove loads from the washer at the end of the wash cycle to avoid odors.
Is the dryer being used for the first time? (Electric)
My dryer makes sounds or vibrations
Has the dryer had a period of nonuse?
If the dryer hasn't been used for a while, there may be a light thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation. When the dryer is not used, the drum support rollers can flatten where the rollers and drum touch. The flat spot causes the thumping sound. Once the dryer runs for a few minutes, the rollers will regain their shape and the sound should stop.
Is the load knotted or balled up?
Another form of thumping can occur when the load is twisted or balled up. Laundry items with large amounts of fabric, such as sheets, curtains, tablecloths and bedspreads, can roll into a ball in the dryer. This ball of fabric may thump and may cause the dryer to vibrate. To reduce this, add these large items loosely into the dryer. Remove any bunching that may have occurred during washing.
Are you hearing a scraping sound?
Objects such as coins, paper clips, safety pins, screws, nails or other small hardware can get caught in the seam where the drum meets the front or rear. Turn off the dryer. Look inside the dryer along the front and rear edges of the drum. Remove any objects caught in the seam.
Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front-to-back and side-to-side?
A dryer without legs, or that is missing legs, may rock or teeter on a floor that is not level, which will cause some noise. The legs adjust up and down to level the dryer on a floor that is not level. Check if any of the four dryer legs are missing. Replace any missing legs, and level the dryer both front-to-back and side-to-side. A level dryer is required for the sensing of load moisture in dry cycle-auto cycles.
Are you hearing a knocking or rattling sound?
Zippers, buckles, buttons and rivets on garments as well as loose coins, paper clips, pens, or similar items may be tumbling in the dryer. Always check and clear pockets prior to washing.
My fabric is too hot when I remove it from the dryer
Were laundry items removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle?
Allow the load to run through the cool down part of the cycle before removing the laundry items from the dryer. All cycles end with a cool down, which cools the fabric for easy handling and reduced wrinkling. Items removed before cool down may feel very warm.
Was a high temperature cycle used, or was a separate temperature control set on high?
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic dry or electronic sensor dry cycle. These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and automatically shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying.
My dryer will not start. What should I do?
