TROUBLESHOOTING

Before Calling for Service

This dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early

stage. If the dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for

service.

Operation

Problem

Possible Cause

Solutions

The Flow Sense

TM

indicator remains

active after clearing

the restriction in the

venting.

After clearing the restriction, the

Flow Sense

TM

system requires

multiple, consecutive cycles to

determine that the performance

value has improved before the

Flow Sense

TM

indicator is reset.

If the Flow Sense

TM

indicator remains

active for more than five cycles after

the restriction has been cleared, call for

service.

Dryer will not turn on

Power cord is not properly

plugged in.

Make sure that the plug is securely

plugged into a grounded outlet matching

the dryer’s rating plate.

House fuse is blown, circuit

breaker has tripped, or power

outage has occurred.

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do

not increase fuse capacity. If the problem

is a circuit overload, have it corrected by

a qualified electrician.

Dryer does not heat

House fuse is blown, circuit

breaker has tripped, or power

outage has occurred.

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do

not increase fuse capacity. If the problem

is a circuit overload, have it corrected by

a qualified electrician.

NOTE

Due to the design of electric dryers,

it is possible for a circuit problem to

allow an electric dryer to run without

heat.

Gas supply or service is turned

off (gas models only).

Confirm that the house gas shutoff and

the dryer gas shutoff valves are both fully

open. Even if gas is not supplied to the

dryer, it will run and display error code.

Verify that other gas appliances in the

home are working normally.

Energy Saver option selected

(on some models)

If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect

the energy saver option. The Energy

Saver option is selected by default. This

option reduces energy use by adding

an air dry section to the beginning of the

cycle. It is normal to feel no heat at the

beginning of the cycle while in Energy

Saver mode.
