If You Need
Service or
Assistance, We
Suggest You Follow
These Four Steps:
1.

Before calllng
for asslstance...
Performance
problems
often
result from little things you can find and
fix yourself without
tools of any kind.
DRYER DOES NOT RUN:
• Is electric

power

cord plugged
in?
• Is the dryer door
closed
tightly?
Your dryer
has a switch by the door that
shuts off the dryer if the door is opened.
• Did you push the
Start Button?
• Check
circuit
breakers
or both fuses in the fuse
box.
DRYER RUNS BUT DOES NOT HEAT:

PERMANENT
PRESS are without
heat]
• Is it a gas dryer? See if the gas is
turned on, If not, turn the Cycle
Control Knob to OFF. Turn on the gas
and wait five minutes for the automatic
switch to reset. Then try starting
it again.
• Is it an electric
dryer? Check
the
circuit
breakers
or fuses in the fuse
box. An electric
dryer wil! have two
fuses. If one is blown,
the dryer may
run, but not heat.
DRYING TIME IS LONGER THAN USUAL:
the

lint screen.

Remove

lint.

Keep the screen clean
for best
drying
results and times.
• Modern
dryers are designed
to dry
at the cooler
temperatures
needed
by modern
fabrics
They may need
more time than you are used to.
• Room temperature
is cold.
