Problem Possible Cause & Solution Low or Medium lights up. Temperature sensor failure. High lights up. Power cord is connected incorrectly. • Turn off the appliance and call for service. • Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. Flow Sense LED lights up. Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem The appliance does not heat. Possible Cause & Solution 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. Gas supply or service is turned off. • Confirm that the hose gas shutoff and the shutoff valves of the dryer are both fully open.
TROUBLESHOOTING 41 Performance Problem Clothes dried too long (overdried). • Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or use a lower dry level setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Greasy or dirty spots on clothes. Fabric softener used incorrectly. • Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together. • Use your dryer to dry only clean items.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Clothes have damp spots after a Sensor Dry cycle. Possible Cause & Solution Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter. • If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a Manual Dry cycle for very small loads. • Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric.
