Possible Causes

Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
Touch and hold START 2–5 seconds.
There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check
that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have
not tripped. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
Use a time-delay fuse.
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers use 2
household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line is open.
The water pump on the dryer is used during the Steam function. If the dryer
has just been installed or unused for an extended period, the pump may be
louder and run longer. This is normal.
This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few minutes of
use.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out
pockets before laundering.
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation
Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate.
Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and closes.
This is normal.
Clean lint screen before each load.
Run the dryer on Air Only for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under
the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air
movement or air movement is minimal, clean exhaust system of lint or
replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the
Installation Instructions.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long
venting will increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions.
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensor cycles.
See "Level Dryer" in the Installation Instructions.
Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being dried.
