- Remember that an electric dryer normally uses two sides of a 240-volt circuit.
- Reset a tripped breaker if appropriate.
- Make sure the dryer power cord is installed correctly.
- If inspecting the terminal connection, unplug the dryer first.
- Run a heated Timed Dry cycle after correcting the electrical problem.
