Maytag MGDC400BW Wasdroger Handleiding

Oorzaak: Household fuse is blown or circuit breaker has tripped

Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Oorzaak: Incorrect power supply

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician.

Oorzaak: Supply line valve not open

For gas dryers, make sure that the valve on the gas supply line is open.

Oorzaak: Dryer hasn't been used in a while

This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few minutes of use.

Oorzaak: A small object caught between the edges of dryer drum

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.

Oorzaak: Dryer isn't properly leveled

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor.

Oorzaak: Clothing is balled up in dryer

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

Oorzaak: Gas valve operating

On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and closes. This is normal.

Oorzaak: Lint screen is clogged with lint

Clean lint screen before each load.

Oorzaak: The exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood is clogged with lint, restricting air movement

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent.

Oorzaak: The exhaust vent is not the correct length

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.

Oorzaak: The dryer is not level

Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Automatic cycles. See Level the Dryer in the Installation Instructions.

Oorzaak: The exhaust vent diameter is not the correct size

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

Oorzaak: The Air Fluff cycle has been selected

Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried.

Oorzaak: The load is too large and heavy to dry quickly

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Oorzaak: Fabric softener sheets are blocking the grille

The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen. Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Oorzaak: The dryer is located in a room with temperature below 45ºF (7ºC)

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

Oorzaak: The dryer is located in a closet

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm).

Oorzaak: Automatic cycle ending early

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level setting on Sensor Dry/Automatic Dry cycles.

Oorzaak: Lint screen is clogged with lint

Clean lint screen before each load.

Oorzaak: Improper use of fabric softener

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.

Oorzaak: Loose dyes in clothes

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.

Oorzaak: The load was not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle

Use a cycle with Wrinkle Control to tumble the load without heat to avoid wrinkling.

Oorzaak: Dryer tightly packed

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely and reduce formation of wrinkles.

Oorzaak: Recent painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located

Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

Oorzaak: The electric dryer is being used for the first time

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.

Oorzaak: Laundry items were removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle

Allow Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very warm.

Oorzaak: A high temperature cycle was used or Temperature/Fabric control was set to high

Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying.
