IfYouNeedServiceOrAssistance

Wesuggestyoufollow

thesesteps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from

little things you can find and fix yourself

without tools of any kind.

If your dryer does not run:

Is the power supply plugged into a live

circuit with the proper voltage?

Is the door closed tightly?

Did you push the Start Button?

Have you checked your home’s main

fuses or circuit breaker box?

If your dryer does not heat:

The FLUFF AIR cycle ISwithout heat.

The last minutes of heat settings are

without heat.

Is the gas turned on? If not, turn the

Cycle Control Knob to OFF Turn on

gas. Wait 5 minutes. Reset controls

and star-t.

An electric dryer circuit uses 2 break-

ers or 2 fuses. If one breaker is tripped

or one fuse is blown, the dryer may

run, but not heat.

If drying time seems too long.

Is the lint screen clean? See page 8

for cleaning instructions.

See the Dryer Guide.
