Possible Reason — Do This to Correct
• Insert coin(s).
• Be sure the cord is plugged all the way into the electrical outlet.
• Close the loading door.
• Make sure the controls are in a HEAT setting.
• • Activate time accumulator. Push the coin slide all the way in.
• Press the PUSH-TO-START button.
• •
Has the laundry room fuse blown or become loosened, or is a circuit
breaker OFF? The dryer itself does NOT have an electrical fuse.
• Has the motor overload protector cycled? Wait 10 minutes and try again.
•
Gas Dryers Only—Check to see if the gas valve in the dryer (behind the
lower front panel) and the main gas line valve are turned on.
• Clean the lint filter.
• •
Check the exhaust duct to the outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or
needs cleaning.
• •
Check the weather hood to make sure the flappers move freely, are not
pushed in or have not been blocked.
• Is the load too small? Small loads may not tumble properly or dry evenly.
