If You Need

Service or

Suggest You Follow

These Four Steps:

1. Before calling for asslrfance...

Performance problems often

result from little things you can find and

fix yourself without tools of any kind.

closed tightly’ Your dryer

has a swatch by the door that

shuts off the dryer If the door is opened.

Drd you push the

Start Button?

Check circuit breakers

or both fuses In the fuse

box

DRYER RUNS BUT DOES NOT HEAT:

Is the Cycle Control Knob set cor-

rectly? (The last 5 minutes are cool-

down time In AUTOMATIC REGULAR,

the last 10 minutes in AUTOMATIC

PERMANENT PRESSare without heat )

turned on. If not, turn the Cycle Con-

trol Knob to OFF Turn on the gas

and wait five minutes for the auto-

matrc swatch to reset. Then try starting

it again

Is It an electrrc dryer? Check the

circuit breakers or fuses In the fuse
