- Make sure the door is latched shut.

- Check the home's circuit breaker and fuses.
- Select a heat setting other than Air fluff.
- Clean the lint filter.
- Dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the
cycle.
- Check the entire above, plus...
- Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dry load.
- Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
- Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require
repositioning to ensure even drying.
- Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
- Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails,
broken zips, etc. Remove promptly.
- It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element
cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
- Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the
installation instruction.
- The sensor cycle will estimate dampness of clothes
automatically. Due to amount and material of clothes, to assure
the expected dampness the dryer will adjust remaining time,
this is normal.
- Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be
completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the Time Dry
setting if desired.
- If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as
one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will
not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached
the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight
items for best drying results.
