Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn’t my dryer heating, or why does the flame shut off after 12 seconds?

A: This is often due to restricted airflow caused by a clogged lint filter or exhaust vent. Start by cleaning both thoroughly. If the issue continues, a component such as the thermistor, flame sensor, or igniter may be faulty. To check the thermistor:

• Unplug the dryer
• Locate the thermistor
• Use a multimeter to test its resistance

Q: Why is my dryer taking too long to dry clothes?

A: The most common cause is a clogged lint filter or exhaust vent. Check both and clean them to restore proper airflow.

Q: Why is my dryer making unusual noises?

A: Noises can result from the dryer being unlevel, overloaded, or having foreign objects in the drum. Ensure it’s sitting evenly, loaded properly, and check the drum for anything that doesn’t belong.

Q: What causes my dryer to overheat?

A: Lint buildup is usually the culprit. Clean the lint filter and exhaust vent, and try drying smaller loads to improve airflow and prevent overheating.

Q: How do I use the Steam Sanitize+ feature?

A: Follow these steps:

• Make sure items are partially wet
• Select the Steam Sanitize+ cycle
• Note: Dryness level and temperature are preset, but you can add the Wrinkle Prevent option for best results

Q: What’s required for steam functionality during installation?

A: The dryer must be connected to a cold water tap. Use the included Y-connector and hoses to ensure the steam feature functions correctly.

Q: Can I overfill the dryer when using Steam Sanitize+?

A: No. Avoid overfilling, especially when using steam cycles, as it prevents the steam from properly saturating the laundry and can reduce effectiveness.
