TROUBLESHOOTING
Try these solutions to possibly avoid costs of a service call...
Dryer Operation
Dryer will not run:
nHas a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit
breakers. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, and
breakers have not tripped. Replace fuse or reset circuit
breaker. If problem persists, call an electrician.
Dryer drum turns, but no heat:
nHas a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit
breakers. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. If problem
persists, call an electrician.
Dryer displaying code message:
n“PF” (power failure) Check the following: Was drying cycle
interrupted by power failure? Press and hold START to restart
dryer.
Try the following:
Check if a household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has
tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses or breakers.

indicator light is ashing and all other display/indicator
lights on control panel are off: Call for service.
n“F” Variable (F1E1, F2E2, F3E1, F3E2, F7E1, F3E6, F3E7)
service codes: Call for service.
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are
too long, or load is too hot:
nIs lint screen clogged with lint? Lint screen should be
cleaned before each load.
nIs exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint,
restricting air movement? Run dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold
hand under outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If
you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or
replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or exible metal vent.
nAre fabric softener sheets blocking grille? Use only one
fabric softener sheet, and use each only once.
nIs exhaust vent correct length? Check if exhaust vent is too
long or has too many turns. Long venting increases dry time.
nIs correct power supply available? Electric dryers require
240-volt power supply. Check with a qualied electrician.
nWas a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
qCheck that dryer is level. See “Level Dryer”.

Il vous faudra :
nUn emplacement permettant une évacuation appropriée. Voir
“Exigences concernant l’évacuation”.
nSi on utilise un cordon d’alimentation, une prise électrique avec
liaison à la terre située à moins de 2 pi (610 mm) de l’un des
côtés de la sécheuse. Voir “Spécications électriques”.
nLe plancher doit supporter le poids de la sécheuse de 200 lb
(90,7 kg). Il faut également prendre en compte le poids des
appareils ménagers voisins.
nUn plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de 1"
(25 mm) sous l’ensemble de la sécheuse. Si la pente
est supérieure à 1" (25 mm), installer un ensemble de
pieds d’extension pour sécheuse, pièce n° 279810. Si la
sécheuse n’est pas d’aplomb, le linge peut ne pas culbuter
convenablement, et les programmes automatiques commandés
par détecteur peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement.
nPour l’installation dans un garage, placer la sécheuse à au
moins 18" (460 mm) au-dessus du sol. En cas d’utilisation d’un
piédestal, il faudra 18" (460 mm) jusqu’au fond de la sécheuse.
Toutes les dimensions indiquent l’espacement recommandé
autorisé, dont un espacement testé de 0" (0 mm) sur les côtés
et à l’arrière. Les ouvertures de ventilation de la porte du placard
indiquent l’espacement requis.
Pour chaque aménagement, prévoir davantage d’espace pour
faciliter l’installation et l’entretien; des espacements pour les
appareils voisins, les murs, les portes et les plinthes. L’espace
doit être assez grand pour ouvrir complètement la porte. Ajouter
un espacement sur tous les côtés de la sécheuse pour réduire le
transfert du bruit. Si une porte de placard ou une porte à claire-
voie est installée, des ouvertures de ventilation en haut et en bas
sont nécessaires.
