specifically recommended in the UserMaintenance Instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY
plastics or articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
12. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A
layer of lint in the filter reduces drying
efficiency and prolongs drying time.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust
duct should be cleaned periodically by
qualified service personnel.
15. This gas appliance contains or produces a
chemical or chemicals which can cause death
or serious illness and which are known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. To
reduce the risk from substances in the fuel
or from fuel combustion, make sure this
appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not
be removed during washing. Due to the
remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by
itself.
18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable
substances such as machine oil, flammable
chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything
containing wax or chemicals such as in mops
and cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned
at home with dry-cleaning solvent in the

Before Drying
Energy Saving Tips
• Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Do not overdry items.
• Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
• Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most
efficiently. However, dry permanent press in
smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
• Use the correct cycle for the type of fabric
being dried.
• Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as
short and straight as possible.
• Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
• Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days;
your clothes will dry faster.
• Dry multiple loads of clothes one right after
another so dryer interior does not have to be
reheated for each load.
• Follow the care labels on FLAME
RETARDANT, SCOTCH- GUARD™, etc.,
garments for the proper washing and drying.
• If loads should be damp for ironing, turn
timer knob to the ENERGY SAVER setting, if
applicable, marked with a dot (•), in
AUTOMATIC or TIME DRY cycles.
Sort
If you have correctly sorted the items for
washing, they should be properly sorted for drying
too.
1. Sort by color.
2. Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint
receiving fabrics.
Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed
lint. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent
press, and synthetics attract lint.
3. Separate no heat, low heat and high heat
items.
Helps and Hints
• The directions for installation and proper
exhausting are given in the Installation
Instructions which are included with the
dryer.
• Static electricity may cause garments of
synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling
together, especially if they are overdried. The
use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse
water of the washer, or a fabric softener
sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and
reduce static electricity.
• Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in
the same load with permanent press or knit
garments.
• Remove permanent press loads immediately
after dryer stops.
In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry
faster than heavyweight fabrics. If mixed loads
are dried together (such as sheets and towels),
remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are
dry to prevent overdrying and wrinkling. The best
method is to dry clothes which require the same
time and temperature in the same load.

Load
WARNING
Do not wash or dry items soiled with
vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils
may remain after washing and may
cause the fabric to catch on fire by
itself.
W527
• Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight,
determines the load size. If the dryer is
overloaded, it could cause discoloration or
permanent heat damage to the load.
• There should be space in the dryer for the
clothes to tumble freely and help to reduce
wrinkles.
• Large and small pieces together make up
loads which will tumble well. Permanent press
loads should be smaller to provide room for
tumbling. Proper tumbling allows for fewer
wrinkles.
• The following illustrations show the ideal load
sizes for fabrics. The average load will fill the
cylinder one third to half full when wet.
DRY2031N
Cylinder with wet linens and cottons
DRY2031N
• A load can be too small. Just a few small
pieces will not tumble properly. They will take
longer to dry and they may be wrinkled. For
small loads, add a couple of large towels or
non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.

Operating Your Dryer
NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons, read the Safety Information
section before operating the dryer.
W520
Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying
items that can be dried with heat. These cycles
automatically dry loads to the dryness level
selected.
MORE DRY will dry very small loads and some
heavy items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry
lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts.
Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking,
excessive lint conditions, and will use more energy
than necessary.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry
large loads and lightweight items, such as sheets
and shirts, but might leave other items, such as
denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure
loads are dried without overdrying, set your loads
on LESS DRY. If items are damp at the end of a
cycle, the timer knob needs to be set closer to
the MORE DRY setting the next time these loads
are dried. If items are overdry at the end of a
cycle, the timer knob should be set closer to
COOL DOWN or COOL TUMBLE when these loads
are dried again. Remember the settings that work
best to get ideal drying results.
in the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME
DRY cycle. The time it takes for the timer to
advance depends on the type and size of the
load being dried.
The ENERGY SAVER settings, if applicable,
marked with a dot (•), show which settings will
use the least energy and will leave items damp for
easier ironing.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and
also for delicate items. The type of heat is
determined by choosing the proper Fabric
Selector option. There are two settings in the
AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycle — MORE
DRY and LESS DRY.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes.
Cottons and heavyweight items dry best between
50 and 75 minutes, and lightweight items dry
best between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics.
The type of heat is determined by selecting the
proper Fabric Selector option. There are two
settings in the AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS/
KNITS cycle — MORE DRY and LESS DRY.
The COOL DOWN and COOL TUMBLE period at the
end of each cycle provides items a chance to
tumble with no heat and cool down to room
temperature. This prevents wrinkles from setting
if items cannot be cared for immediately.

Troubleshooting
Try these troubleshooting tips before making a
service call – You may save time and money!
Dryer Symptom Possible Cause/Solution
Dryer won’t start • For dryers equipped with a power cord, make sure the power cord is plugged all
the way into the electrical outlet.
• Make sure loading door is closed.
• Push timer knob in to start dryer.
• Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or circuit breakers
aren’t open. The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric dryer
has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
• Check if motor overload protector has cycled. Wait 10 minutes and try again.
Dryer won’t heat • Make sure timer is not in COOL DOWN or COOL TUMBLE settings or that Fabric
Selector is not set at NO HEAT.
• Electric dryers only – Some homes may have two fuses or circuit breakers for an
electric dryer; both fuses or circuit breakers should be checked. Make sure the
laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or that the circuit breakers aren’t
open. The electric dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse.
• Gas dryer only – Make sure 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.
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes
satisfactorily
Dryer is noisy • Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal, plastic toys, etc.).
