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 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.
