Level Dryer 1. Level Dryer Check levelness of dryer from side to side. Repeat from front to back. NOTE: The dryer must be level for the moisture sensing system to operate correctly. Not Level LEVEL Not Level 2. Tighten and adjust leveling legs q Be sure the water faucets are on. q Check for leaks around "Y" connector, faucet, and hoses. q If you live in a hard water area, use of a water softener is recommended to control the buildup of scale through the water system in the dryer. Over time, the buildup of lime scale may clog different parts of the water system, which will reduce product performance. Excessive scale buildup may lead to the need for certain part replacement or repair. If the dryer will not start, check the following: ■■ Controls are set in a running or "On" position. ■■ Start button has been pushed firmly. ■■ Dryer is plugged into an outlet and/or electrical supply is on. ■■ Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has not tripped. ■■ Dryer door is closed. q 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 the door. If you do not feel heat, turn off dryer, and check the following: ■■ 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. If there is still no heat, contact a qualified technician. NOTE: You may notice an odor when the dryer is first heated. This odor is common when the heating element is first used. The odor will go away. Reverse Door Swing (Optional) 29" Super Wide Side-Swing Door 1. Place towel on dryer If dryer is not level or the same height as the washer, prop up using a wood block.
