When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat. If you feel heat, cancel cycle and close door. If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check that the gas supply line shutoff valve is open. ■ If the gas supply line shutoff valve is closed, open it, then repeat the 5-minute test as outlined above. ■ If the gas supply line shutoff valve is open, contact a qualified technician. 14
