Was the power supply cord installed correctly?
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician.
The power supply cord may be incorrectly installed. If the power cord is incorrectly installed, the dryer may not start or heat. Review the Installation Instructions or Video below to check that the power supply cord is properly installed. Also, ensure the terminal screws are tight at the dryer, unplug the dryer before checking terminal screws.
