TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long (cont.)
Fabric softener sheets are blocking the
grille.
The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen.
Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. Use only
one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF
(7ºC).
The dryer is located in a closet. Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom
of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm)
of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires
5" (127 mm). See Installation Instructions.
Cycle time is too short Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level setting on
Sensor Dry/Automatic Dry cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your
garments.
Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer at
the end of the cycle.
Use a cycle with Wrinkle Control to tumble the load without heat to
avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely and reduce formation of
wrinkles.
Odors Recent painting, staining, or varnishing
in the area where your dryer is located.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area,
rewash and dry the clothing.
The electric dryer is being used for the
first time.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be
gone after the first cycle.
Load too hot Laundry items were removed from the
dryer before the end of the cycle.
Allow Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from dryer.
All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make it easier to
handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very warm.
A high temperature cycle was used or
Temperature/Fabric control was set to
high.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This
reduces overdrying.
