Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted. Check the error code before you call for service. Check the duct condition. If the test displays four bars, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed

Clothes take too long to dry

Load is not properly sorted, large load of heavy fabrics, dryer controls are not set properly, lint filter needs to be cleaned, exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long

Try using a fabric softener. Display shows error code PS. Check the connection of power cord to the terminal block. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open

Greasy or dirty spots on clothes
