- 1). Check the fuse or breaker box in your home. The dryer uses two fuses or breakers. If one blows or trips, the drum will turn but it will not produce heat. Unscrew cloudy or black fuses and replace with new fuses. Push breakers to the "On" position.
- 2). Ensure the knob is turned past the "Off" and "Wrinkle Prevent" positions. The dryer will not start in these positions. Turn the knob slightly to the right of the "Off" position to ensure it is at the beginning of the cycle.
- 3). Open the dryer door and check for loose objects in the drum if you hear noises during tumbling. Remove loose coins, buttons or other items.
- 4). Level the dryer by turning the leveling legs clockwise and counterclockwise if the dryer vibrates during use. Place a level on the top of the dryer and adjust the legs until the dryer is level.
- 5). Check the current cycle if the time knob does not move forward. The knob will not move forward until the clothes are almost dry if you have selected the "Automatic Drying" cycle.
- 6). Remove the lint screen and clean it if the dryer takes too long to dry. Clean the lint screen before starting a cycle. Open the dryer and make sure fabric softener sheets are not blocking the grill. Avoid using more than one fabric softener sheet per load.
- 7). Move the dryer if it does not have proper clearance. Place the sides and front of the dryer no less than 1 inch from the wall. The back of the dryer requires a 5-inch clearance.
- 8). Remove several items of clothing if the load is too large to tumble freely. It takes longer to dry when drying larger loads. Avoid using the "Air Dry" cycle. The dryer does not produce heat and will take longer to dry clothing.
- 9). Allow new dryers to complete several cycles. The dryer will have an odor during the first cycle and may make noises during the first few cycles; this is normal.
