To start a drying cycle, first ensure the dryer is plugged in and the door is securely closed. Select the desired drying program using the program selector knob, then press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
If the dryer is not heating, check if the appliance is properly connected to a power source and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the selected program includes a heat setting and the lint filter is clean. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door and locate the filter at the bottom of the door opening. Pull out the filter, remove any lint by hand or with a soft brush, and then reinsert it securely before using the dryer again.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after every use, checking and cleaning the condenser unit monthly, and inspecting the vent and ductwork for blockages every six months.
To use the delay start feature, select your desired drying program and press the Delay Start button. Use the time adjustment buttons to set the delay time, then press the Start/Pause button to activate the delay. The dryer will start automatically after the set time has elapsed.
If the dryer stops mid-cycle, check if the door is properly closed and latched. Ensure that the water tank is not full if your model has a condenser drying system. Additionally, verify that the selected program matches the load type and size.
Yes, you can dry delicate fabrics by selecting a gentle cycle or using the low heat setting. Always refer to garment care labels and the user manual for guidance on drying specific fabrics.
Unusual noises can result from items like buttons or zippers hitting the drum. Check for loose objects in the drum or caught in the filter. If the noise persists, it may indicate a mechanical issue, and you should contact a service technician.
To clean the condenser, turn off and unplug the dryer. Open the condenser cover, usually located at the bottom front of the dryer. Release the locking mechanism and pull out the condenser unit. Clean it under running water, let it dry, and then reinstall it securely.
