How to Troubleshoot a KitchenAid Superba Dryer
KitchenAid Superba dryers have settings and control knobs similar to other consumer-grade clothes dryers. As you use your KitchenAid dryer, you might experience problems or issues with its performance over time. You may be able to fix some of these problems on your own with a little minor troubleshooting. Doing your own dryer troubleshooting might prevent the need for a service call on the appliance. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Clean lint from the exhaust vent or lint filter if you are experiencing abnormally long drying times. The lint can cause clogs that prolong drying time. Simply remove the lint with your hands and restart the drying cycle.

2
Push the power cord securely into the power outlet if you are having problems with the dryer not running. It is possible that the cord is just loose.

Close your dryer door firmly and give the “start” button a firm push if the dryer won’t start. If the door is not closed fully, the KitchenAid dryer will not start no matter how hard you push and hold the “start” button.

4
Go to your breaker box or fuse box if the dryer will not run and you have tried everything else. The dryer might have blown a fuse or tripped a breaker, which will result in the dryer not running. If you have to replace the fuse, only use a time-delay fuse or the dryer will not heat.

Look at the temperature control and cycle setting if you are not getting any heat in the dryer. Do not use the “air tumble” setting because it uses room temperature air instead of heat. You can also select your level of heat, with high offering the hottest air. Try different heat temperature settings to determine if that fixes your problem.
