• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has
missing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels. DO
NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated
from a stack unit.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT
bypass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to oper-
ate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the
door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tum-
bling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without
pressing the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use
and call the service person.
• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint
in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying
time. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent sur-
rounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and
dirt. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-
nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis-
connect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting
service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not
the cord.
• If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in or-

Gas Dryers - Connect Gas Supply Pipe

WARNING

To reduce the risk of gas leaks, fire or explosion:


• The dryer must be connected to the type of gas
as shown on nameplate located in the door re-
cess.
• Use a new flexible stainless steel connector.
• Use pipe joint compound insoluble in L.P. (Lique-
fied Petroleum) Gas, or Teflon tape, on all pipe
threads.
• Purge air and sediment from gas supply line be-
fore connecting it to the dryer. Before tightening
the connection, purge remaining air from gas line
to dryer until odor of gas is detected. This step is
required to prevent gas valve contamination.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
2 Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid.
• Any disassembly requiring the use of tools must
be performed by a suitably qualified service per-
son.

Troubleshooting

Washer Symptom Possible Cause/Solution

Water Leaks • Check that fill hoses are properly installed on the faucets and the washer’s water mix-
ing valve.
• Check the condition of the fill hoses. Replace fill hoses every five years.
• Make sure drain receptacle is not clogged.
• Check laundry room plumbing.
• Check the condition of the rubber door gasket for tears or holes.
• Laundry load may be oversudsing. Make sure you are using low-sudsing, high effi-
ciency (HE) detergent.
• Laundry load may be overloaded. Make sure you are using proper load sizes.
• Make sure outside perimeter of the door glass where seal contacts glass is clean.

Too Many Soap Suds • Laundry load may be oversudsing. Make sure you are using low-sudsing, high effi-
ciency (HE) detergent.
• Make sure you are using the amount of detergent recommended on the detergent’s la-
bel. If using non-HE detergent, use only 1/2 of the detergent manufacturer's recom-
mended amount.
• Laundry load may be overloaded. Make sure you are using proper load sizes.

Vibrates/Moves Slightly • Make sure washer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Make sure washer is installed on a solid, sturdy and level floor. The washer should not
be installed on carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures.
• Make sure rubber feet are installed on all four leveling legs. Refer to Position and
Level the washer.

Is Noisy • Make sure washer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
• Some sounds may be a part of normal operation for a frontload washer, such as click-
ing noise when door locks and clicking noise from balance ring during agitate part of
cycle.

Load is too Wet • Wash load may be unbalanced. The washer may have limited the spin speed to pre-
vent damage to the machine. Redistribute the load.
• Load is too small. Add items to make full load.

Wrong Water Temperature • Make sure that the controls are properly set.
• Check fill hoses. Make sure hot faucet hose is connected to hot mixing valve (indica-
ted with “H” on the valve bracket) and cold faucet is connected to cold mixing valve
(indicated with “C” on the valve bracket).
• Make sure laundry room water heater is adjusted properly.

Dryer Symptom Possible Cause/Solution

Clothes are too wrinkled • Check heat setting. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.
• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and
may cause wrinkling.

Clothes have odor • Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried
foods, paint, varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will trans-
