• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.
• Read all instructions before using the dryer. • Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes. AL-
WAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar-

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on pack-

tions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static un-
less recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has miss-
ing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels. DO NOT
tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated
from a stack unit.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-
pass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate
with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is
opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when
the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing the
START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the
service person.
• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in
the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surround-
ing area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. The
interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned pe-
riodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-
nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis-
connect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting
service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not
the cord.
• Electric Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer
or its service agent.
• Gas Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified per-
sons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to
cover all possible conditions and situations that may oc-
cur. Observe and be aware of other labels and precau-
tions that are located on the machine. They are intended
to provide instruction for safe use of the machine. Com-

Troubleshooting
Try these troubleshooting tips before making a service call. They
may save you time and money.
Dryer won’t start • Make sure the power cord is plugged all the way into the electri-
cal outlet.
• Make sure loading door is closed.
• Press Start/Pause button to start dryer.
• Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or cir-
cuit breakers aren’t open.
• The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric
dryer has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
• Check if motor overload protector has cycled. Wait 10 minutes
and try again.
Dryer won’t heat • Electric dryers only – Some homes may have two fuses or cir-
cuit breakers for an electric dryer; both fuses or circuit break-
ers should be checked. Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t
blown or loose, or that the circuit breakers aren’t open.
• Make sure control is not in Cooling part of cycle or that the
Temp selection is not set to heat.
• Gas dryer only – Make sure equipment and main gas line valve is
turned on.
• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not
been pushed in or has not been blocked.
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes satisfactorily • Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not
been pushed in or has not been blocked.
• Auto-Sensing cycle – Adjust Dryness selection.
• Manual cycle - Allow more or less time.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Make sure the load isn’t too small. Small loads may not tumble
properly or dry evenly.
• The Auto-Sensing cycles are not suggested to be used for
small loads such as two small towels. For those loads, use
the Time Dry cycle.
• Check load being dried. Heavy items dried with lightweight
items will not dry as quickly as the rest of the load.
• Refer to Sort section for proper sorting information.
Table continues...
Dryer is noisy • Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal,
plastic toys, etc.). Remove items from dryer.
• Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Normal operating sounds include the heat source going on and
off and the humming of air moving through the dryer and ex-
haust system.
Clothes are too wrinkled • Check heat setting. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.
• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may
cause wrinkling.
Clothes have odor • Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried
foods, paint, varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will transfer
to clothing as the dryer draws air from the room.
• Ventilate room before drying clothes.
Cycle advances too slowly • When in an Auto-Sensing cycle, the time it takes depends on
the type and size of the load being dried. When clothing has
more moisture, the cycle takes longer than when the clothes
are more dry.
Er, ro on digital display • The dryer’s motor overload protector has cycled.
• The control can be cleared by pressing the Start/Pause button
and the dryer can be restarted by pressing the Start/Pause
button again.
• If this code is displayed again, remove the dryer from use and
call a service person.
