How Auto-Sense Dry Plus Works
When you are using the Auto-Sense Dry Plus Cycle, the dryness
of the load is determined by two metal strips (sensors) located on
the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help "feel" the amount of
moisture left in the clothes as they pass. When there is moisture
left in the clothes, the Cycle Control Knob will not advance. As
clothes begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes
decreases, and the timer advances through the remainder of the

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Dryer Operation
Dryer will not run
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Is the correct power supply available?
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a
qualied electrician.
Was a regular fuse used?
Use a time-delay fuse.
Is the dryer door rmly closed?
Was the Start button rmly pressed?
No heat
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. The
drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace the
6
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call
an electrician.
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?
Unusual sounds
Has the dryer had a period of non-use?
If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a
thumping sound during the rst few minutes of opertion.
Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum
and front or rear of the dryer?
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
Is it a gas dryer?
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to
back and side to side?
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the clothing knotted or balled up?
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
Timer does not noticeably advance
Is the dryer set to Timed or Air Dry?
The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting.
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too
long, or load is too hot

Installation Instructions.
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Is the exhaust vent the correct length?

Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in
the area where your dryer is located?
