When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner. NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes. ELECTRIC MODELS Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes. Checking Airflow Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 in. (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load. Checking Levelness Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests. Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR,

Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and

local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain whether your proposed installation will comply with these standards, please contact a service and installation professional for assistance.

A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the ﬂoor.

The electrical connection for an electric dryer must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information concerning the electrical connection is provided in the section Connecting Electric Dryers.

To reduce the risk of combustion and ﬁre, the dryer must be vented to the outside.

DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or mobile home.

Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.

Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be vented to the outside using the right side panel because of the burner housing.

The dryer exhaust duct must be afﬁxed securely to the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the exhaust duct must be made of a material that will resist ﬁre and combustion. It is recommended that you use a rigid or ﬂexible metal duct.

DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.

Make sure the dryer has adequate access to outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The opening for outside fresh air must be at least 25 in

It is important that the clearance of the duct from any combustible construction be at least 2 in. (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a clearance of 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the dryer.

Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials necessary for proper installation. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MANUFACTURED OR MOBILE HOMES 23• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a ﬁ re. Failure to do so can result in ﬁ re, explosion, or death.

Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other ﬂ ammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can result in ﬁ re, explosion, or death.

Combine large and small items in a load.

Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.

Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes. Tumble dry Dry NormalPermanent Press

Excess static in clothes.

Dryer is overloaded.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

Make sure the lint ﬁlter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the ﬁlter during the cycle.

Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.

Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes. Excess static in clothes after drying

Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly.

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.

These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener. 35BEFORE CALLING FOR SERvICE (cont.) Problem Possible Causes Solutions Drying time is not consistent

Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.

The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint ﬁ lter. Clothes take too long to dry

Load is not properly sorted.

Large load of heavy fabrics.

Dryer controls are not set properly.

Lint ﬁ lter needs to be cleaned.

Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Dryer is overloaded.

Dryer is underloaded.

Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.

Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.

Make sure the lint ﬁ lter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the ﬁ lter during the cycle.

Conﬁ rm that the exhaust ductwork is properly conﬁ gured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. Clothes are wrinkled

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours. Clothes are shrinking

Garment care instructions are not being followed.

To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting and/or the RACK DRY option. The ADD WATER light is blinking.
