Page 15 of the Use & Care Manual says:
- Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.
- Touch and hold START/PAUSE 2-5 seconds.
- There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
