- Restore power
Reset the tripped breaker by flipping it fully off then on, or replace a blown fuse. Make sure the plug is firmly seated in the outlet. - Restart the dryer
Press Power, select your cycle again, and press Start. The dryer resumes normally once power is stable. - Check for a wider outage
