How to Troubleshoot a Roper Dryer Model Number REX5634PQ0
- 1). Check that the power cord is plugged in if the dryer won't run. Verify that the dryer door is firmly closed--the dryer won't run if it's ajar. Press the "Start" button firmly and hold it in place for a full second.
- 2). Clean out the lint screen if there's excessive lint on the load at the conclusion of a cycle. Separate lint-creating items, like towels from fabrics that attract lint, such as corduroy. Overdrying can cause lint to accumulate, so use the correct dryer settings for your load type. Don't leave paper or tissue in the pockets of clothing.
- 3). Use the dryer more regularly if you get a thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation. This is normal when there's been a period of non-use. A clicking sound is normal coming from the gas valve.
- 4). Don't overload the dryer if the garments shrink. Smaller loads allow the garments to tumble freely. Use one washer load for one dryer load--even though the dryer tub looks bigger.
- 5). Look for lint buildup in the exhaust vent and pipe if the clothes aren't drying satisfactorily. Remove lint buildup.
