Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
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
Clothes are coming out of the
Refresh cycle with damp or wet
spots.
Under certain environmental or installation conditions you
may experience underdrying. Select the Auto Refresh cycle
(20 min. default time), which can be customized by selecting
High temperature. The cycle time will automatically be
calculated based on the size of your load.
The sensor cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles. Increasing
or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of
drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too
early, see also “Changing the Sensor Cycle settings to increase
drying time”.
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Stains on load Improper use of dryer sheets. Add dryer sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Dryer sheets
added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.
Do not use dryer sheets with steam cycles.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from
dryer at the end of the cycle.
On steam models, select Auto or Custom Refresh cycle to
tumble the load with water and heat. On non-steam models,
select Freshen Up. These cycle are best for smoothing out
wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-
free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and
synthetic garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.
The dryer was overloaded. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. When using the Auto
Refresh cycle (on steam models), adjust the time based on
the load size. Results may also vary depending on fabric type.
This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads
consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends,
common knits, and synthetics.
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
Dryer 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 dryer sheet.
Use only one dryer sheet, and use it only once.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.
Level the dryer. See “Installation Instructions”. All four dryer
feet should be in firm contact with the floor.
Clean lint screen before each load.
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.
