- Locate the lint filter (typically inside the dryer door opening).
- Pull the filter out.
- Remove accumulated lint by hand or with a soft brush.
- Reinsert the filter securely.
6.2 Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6.3 Professional Inspection
It is recommended to have your gas dryer inspected by a qualified technician annually to ensure all components, especially gas connections and ventilation, are in good working order.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your dryer, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips. For more complex problems, contact a qualified service technician.
- Dryer does not start: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in, the circuit breaker has not tripped, and the dryer door is fully closed. Ensure the gas supply valve is open.
- Clothes are not drying: Verify the lint filter is clean. Check if the exhaust vent is clear and not obstructed. Ensure the selected drying program is appropriate for the load size and fabric type. Confirm the gas supply is active.
- Unusual noises: Small items may be caught in the drum. Check for foreign objects. If the noise persists, discontinue use and contact a technician.
- Gas odor: If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply to the dryer, open windows for ventilation, and evacuate the area. Do not operate any electrical switches or phones. Contact your gas provider and a qualified technician from a safe location.
