Gas Dryer Only – Check to see if 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.
• Automatic Cycle – Adjust to more or less dry setting.
• Timed Cycle – Allow more or less time.
• Clean the lint filter.
• Is the load too small? Small loads may not tumble properly or dry evenly.
